Cannot Start Epson Scan

If you cannot start Epson Scan, try these solutions:
• Make sure your scanner is turned on and any interface cables are securely connected at both ends.
• Make sure Epson Scan is selected in your scanning program.
• Make sure your computer is not running in a power-saving mode, such as sleep or standby. If so,
wake your system and restart Epson Scan.
• If you connected the scanner using a USB cable, make sure it is connected directly to your computer
or through only one USB hub.
• Check the connection setting and test the connection using Epson Scan Settings:
Windows 8: Navigate to the Start screen and select EPSON Scan Settings. Click the Test button.
Windows (other versions): Click
Scan > EPSON Scan Settings. Click the Test button.
Mac OS X: Open the Applications folder, click Epson Software, and click EPSON Scan Settings.
Click the Test button.
• Make sure you do not have multiple versions of Epson Scan installed. If you do, uninstall both versions
and install one version.
• If you upgraded your operating system but did not reinstall Epson Scan, try reinstalling it.
• If you cannot start Epson Scan in Full Auto Mode, your original may have a very dark or bright
background, or be very large. Try scanning in another Epson Scan mode instead.
