Epson Expression 1600 Scanner Setup
Scanning 3-layers with the Epson Expression
At times, you may require more clarity in your x-rays. This page explains how to capture 3 different layers of the x-ray necessary
for the 3 x-ray layer enhancement capability of QCIPro and QC2000. Please note that x-rays vary in density so the settings we pro-
vide are to be used only as guidelines. TIP: Scan the Medium Layer first. Then, make corrections for light/dark layers.
MEDIUM LAYER
This layer should be scanned first.
The Gamma setting should be left at
the default setting. The medium set-
ting emphasizes the cranial bone
structure.
Click the "Scan" button and save the
image. Make sure the file name is
unique (i.e. Jane Doe, Medium).
LIGHT LAYER
Click on the circled arrow or drag the
slider on the Gamma setting to the
right to lighten the image. You
should make sure the image displays
the soft tissue adequately.
Click the "Scan" button and save the
image. Make sure the file name is
unique (i.e. Jane Doe, Light).
DARK LAYER
Click on the circled arrow or drag the
slider on the Gamma setting to the
left to darken the image. You should
notice a considerable increase in the
clarity of the teeth.
Click the "Scan" button and save the
image. Make sure the file name is
unique (i.e. Jane Doe, Dark).
After scanning, select all three images from the "Scanned
Images" folder and drag them onto the QCIPro or QC2000
icon. One of the three images will appear. Frame the
image, but do not resize the window, as this will distort the
calibration of the x-ray. Click outside the image window
after you finish framing. The Input Dialog Box will appear.
Make sure the "three x-ray layers" option is checked, then
click on the lateral x-ray. The three images will be entered into
the program. Click on the Enhancement tool to combine all 3
layers of the x-ray for an enhanced and easy to trace image.
