24


Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

You can connect the scanner to your computer in any of these ways:

■

■

■

USB

If you have a Power Macintosh or your computer is running Windows 98, you can connect the Expression 1600 with the USB cable that came with the scanner.

Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer; it cannot be upgraded from

Windows 95. There is no USB support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.

SCSI

If you have a Power Macintosh or your Windows computer has an

ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 board (Adaptec ® boards are recommended), you can connect the scanner with a SCSI 2 cable not more than 19.7 feet long. If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI bus (cables) should not exceed 9.8 feet. If your computer is running Windows 95 or Windows

NT 4.0, you must use a SCSI connection.

IEEE 1394 (FireWire)

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1600, or you’ve purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh with the IEEE 1394 FireWire cable that came with your scanner or card. Your Power Macintosh must have a built-in

IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card, and must be running Macintosh OS 8.6 or later with FireWire Update 2.1 or later.

Adaptec Power Domain ® SCSI boards for the Macintosh are not compatible with scanners.

See “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on page 106 for instructions on installing the IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card in your scanner.

If you install a USB card in your Macintosh and then upgrade your system to OS 8.6, your USB Manager won’t be installed and your scanner may not work. To have USB support, you must perform a full installation of OS 8.6 from a CD-ROM before you install the card.

25


Connecting to a USB Interface

With the USB interface, you can connect or remove your scanner without having to shut down or restart your computer.

Don’t disconnect or connect the USB cable when the

Expression 1600 is scanning.

Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer, not upgraded from

Windows 95. There is no USB support for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.

1. Locate the USB cable that came with your scanner.

2. Connect the square end of the USB cable to the scanner’s USB port.

3. Connect the flat end of the USB cable to your computer’s USB port or USB hub port.

If your scanner and computer are both powered on, you see the Add New Hardware

Wizard (Windows) or a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed

(Macintosh). Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on page 30 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47.

If you’re using a USB hub, connect the scanner to a first tier hub, which is the hub closest to the computer. If the scanner doesn’t work with the hub, connect it directly to a USB port on your computer.

26


Connecting to a SCSI Interface

Before you connect the scanner, you must have an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 interface board installed in your computer (Adaptec SCSI 2 interface boards are recommended). Some computers come with a SCSI 2 board preinstalled; check your computer documentation.

Adaptec Power Domain SCSI boards for the Macintosh are not compatible with scanners.

If you purchased the board as an option, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install both the board and its driver.

You may also need to change the scanner’s SCSI ID setting before you connect it to your computer. If you have another SCSI device that uses SCSI ID 2, turn the scanner off and turn the SCSI

ID switch on the back of the scanner to a new number.

SCSI ID switch

Choose a number that doesn’t conflict with the ID number of other SCSI devices. Don’t use SCSI ID 0, 1, or 7. If your

Macintosh has a built-in CD-ROM, don’t use SCSI ID 3. Also, only use the asterisk (*) setting when you need to transport the scanner.

Follow these steps to connect the scanner to a SCSI interface:

1. Make sure the scanner and computer are turned off. (The scanner is off when the

P Operate button is out and the ERROR and READY lights are off.)

27


2. Squeeze the lock releases on the lock connector end of your SCSI cable, and then plug the cable into either SCSI connector on the back of the scanner.

The cable is secure when both connector locks snap in.

3. Connect the pin end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on your computer, or to another SCSI device in the chain.

Tighten the screws to secure the cable.

If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI bus (cables) should not exceed 9.8 feet (three meters); otherwise the system may not work properly. If you are connecting the scanner directly to your computer, use a cable no more than 19.7 feet (six meters) long.

Don’t use an external terminator.

4. Locate the SCSI terminator switch at the rear of the scanner.

If the scanner is your only SCSI device, or if it’s the last device in a SCSI chain, leave the terminator switch turned ON .

If you’ve connected your scanner in the middle of a SCSI chain, turn the terminator switch OFF .

5. Plug in the power cables for your computer, scanner, and other external

SCSI devices. terminator switch

Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on page 30 or

“Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47.

28


Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1600, or if you’ve purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Macintosh using an IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. Your

Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire

PCI card.

See “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on page 106 for information about system requirements and instructions on installing the card. See page 93 for information about ordering the card.

The IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card has two cable connectors. You can use either one to connect the scanner directly to your computer. At the same time, you can use the second connector to connect other IEEE 1394 FireWire devices in a daisy chain or tree configuration. You can also connect the scanner to another IEEE

1394 FireWire device so that it’s the last IEEE 1394 FireWire device in a chain connected to your computer.

Neither your scanner nor your computer has to be off when you connect the cable.

However, be careful not to connect or disconnect the cable when the scanner is in use.

Follow these steps to connect the scanner:

1. Locate the cable that came with the card.

Connect one end of the cable to the

IEEE 1394 FireWire port on the card.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the

IEEE 1394 FireWire port on your computer or on another IEEE 1394 FireWire device.

Continue with “Installing the Macintosh

Software” on page 47.

How to Scan

This section gives you an overview of the scanning process and some tips for getting the best scan. It also includes step-by-step scanning instructions.

Scanning Tips

Getting the best scan possible depends on several factors, including the quality of your original and the resolution you select. The better your original is, the better your scan will be. While you can make some color corrections in your scanning software, you’ll need to do major color photo retouching in a program such as Adobe Photoshop.

Selecting Resolution

Resolution refers to how many dots per inch (dpi) or dots per centimeter (dpcm) your image contains. The best resolution for a scanned image depends on the type of image you’re scanning and your final output device.

As a rule of thumb for most images except line art, use a scanning resolution that is approximately one third of your output resolution. For example, use a scanning resolution up to 100 dpi with a 300 dpi laser printer, and up to 200 dpi with a

600 dpi laser printer. For 1440 dpi ink jet printers, such as the EPSON Stylus ®

COLOR series, use a scanning resolution of up to 300 dpi. Try a scanning resolution of 240 dpi for 720 dpi printing.

53


54

Keep the following in mind when you choose a resolution:

■

■

The higher the resolution you select, the larger the resulting image file will be. For example, an 8.5 × 11-inch original scanned at 300 dpi can produce a 24MB file.

The same original scanned at 72 dpi creates only a 1.3MB file. Large files take longer to process and print, so consider the practical limitations of your computer system and hard disk drive when selecting a resolution. To keep your file size manageable, select the lowest possible resolution that gives acceptable quality. (If your final output is for on-screen viewing, you can scan at 72 dpi and reduce your file size.)

If you need to scan at a higher resolution, you can reduce the size of the resulting image file by scanning only part of the image. For information about selecting part of an image, see “Making and modifying marquees” in your electronic

EPSON Expression 1600 Software Reference Guide.

Scaling (Resizing) Images

If you plan to enlarge your image, it’s better to enlarge it by scanning at a higher resolution rather than adjusting resolution in your application. Each time you modify an image, you lose some image quality.

Keep in mind when you enlarge a small photo, such as 35 mm slides or wallet-size photos, you’ll need to scan at a high enough resolution to retain your image quality, but not so high that your file size is too large to be efficient.

Scanning Color Images

If the colors in your scanned image don’t match those in your original document, try experimenting with the Unsharp Mask setting. Click the Destination button in the

EPSON TWAIN Pro main window to display the Destination window, and then select or deselect Unsharp Mask .

To reproduce the most accurate colors, use MonacoEZcolor to create color profiles for your scanner, printer, and monitor. Then use an ICC-compliant color management application like Adobe Photoshop 5.0 to apply the profiles. (Make sure to turn off color management in your scanner software.) See the MonacoEZcolor User

Guide for details.


Batch Scanning

You can use batch scanning to save time. Batch scanning allows you to scan several images at once, or the same image with several different settings.

For more information, see “Making and modifying marquees” in your electronic

EPSON Expression 1600 Software Reference Guide.

Using the Dual Focus Mechanism

The Expression 1600’s Dual Focus mechanism eliminates the Newton ring effect when you’re using the transparency unit. The focus is automatically set to 2.5

when the transparency unit is installed and you select TPU for Neg. Film or TPU for Pos.

Film as the Document Source. If you use the film guides, you don’t need to change the focus setting. If you set your film directly on the scanner’s document table, you should preview your scan and click the Focus button on the Preview window to set the focus position to 0.0

. See your electronic EPSON Expression 1600 Software

Reference Guide for more information.

Step-by-Step Scanning Instructions

This section contains step-by-step instructions for scanning an image. Although the

Macintosh interface is shown, Windows steps are the same.

Placing Your Original Document

1. Raise the scanner cover and place your document face down on the document table. If you’re scanning a transparency, the optional transparency unit should be installed. (See “Installing the Transparency Unit” on page 95.)

If you have the Professional or Professional FireWire model of the

EPSON Expression 1600, the transparency unit came with your scanner. If you have the Artist or Special Edition models, you can order the transparency unit.

2. Position the document so the horizontal and vertical edges are carefully aligned with the scales along the sides of the document table.

3. Close the document cover slowly.

Be careful not to move the document.

top corner of document

You can remove the document cover if you need to scan a thick item—such as a photo in an album—that doesn’t fit under the cover. Simply lift the back of the cover straight up.

When you reattach the cover, position the hinges over the posts at the top of the scanner and push down gently until the cover clicks into place.

57


58

Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro

1. Start your host application (for example, Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE).

2. Select your scanner driver. (Unless you change your source, you only need to do this step once.)

For example, if you’re running Windows and using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE as your host application, click File , Import , Select TWAIN_32 Source . In the

Select Source dialog box, select EPSON TWAIN Pro(32-bit) . Then click Select .

If you have a Macintosh, click File , Import , Twain Select . In the Select a source dialog box, choose EPSON TWAIN Pro and click OK .

The command you choose from the File menu differs from one host application to another. With other host applications, you might choose Acquire or Select Source instead of Import.

3. Open the scanner software.

For example, choose Import from Photoshop 5.0 LE’s

File menu.

In Windows, select

TWAIN_32 .

On a Macintosh, select

TWAIN_Acquire .

The EPSON TWAIN Pro main window appears.

Click to start scanning.

Click to display a preview of the image.

4. Choose the Document

Source , Image Type , and

Destination.

For example, if you’re scanning a photograph, select Flatbed as your Document

Source , 24-bit Color (Std) as your Image Type , and EPSON Stylus Printer

(Photo) as the Destination , if you’re sending the scanned image to an EPSON inkjet printer. If you’re using the optional transparency unit, select TPU for Neg.


Film or TPU for Pos. Film as your Document Source . If you’re using the optional automatic document feeder, select Auto Document Feeder as your

Document Source .

5. Click the Preview button.

You see a preview of your scan in the window that opens.

6. Click the Auto Locate button to automatically define the scan area around the edges of your image. Or adjust the scan area by positioning the mouse pointer over any of the eight boxes around the marquee’s edge and dragging the box to resize the marquee.

Click to define the scan area automatically.

A dotted marquee frames the area to be scanned.

Click the Auto

Exposure button to automatically set the highlight, midtones, and shadow exposure.

Generally it’s a good idea to use the Auto Exposure button to obtain the best settings for your scan. If you’re not satisfied with the results, see your electronic EPSON Expression 1600

Software Reference Guide for information about adjusting settings.

If you need to remove color cast from your image, use the

Gray Balance Intensity feature.

7. When you’ve finished making adjustments, click the Scan button.

The READY light on the front of the scanner flashes while it’s scanning. In a few moments, a scanned image is imported into your host application’s window.

(If the READY light continues to blink, it may indicate an error condition. See

Chapter 7, “Solving Problems,” for more information.)

Network Scanning

You can use EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN

Pro Network, two applications on your EPSON

Expression 1600 Scanning Tools CD-ROM, to share your scanner with other users in a small workgroup.

Your network must have a scanner server (the Windows computer connected to the scanner) and one or more client computers. Only one client computer at a time can connect to the scanner server and access the scanner. However, you can have more than one scanner and scanner server on a network, so clients can choose which scanner to use.

Here are some other requirements for sharing a scanner:

■

■

■

■

The scanner server must be an IBM/AT compatible computer running

Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 (Windows NT 4.0 is recommended).

Client computers can be running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Macintosh System 7.6.1 or later.

Both the client computers and the scanner server must have a network interface card installed, and must be running the TCP/IP protocol (see Appendix B for instructions on installing the TCP/IP protocol).

EPSON Scan Server must be installed on the scanner server, and EPSON

TWAIN Pro Network must be installed on client computers.

Using a Network Scanner

Network scanning involves the following steps:

■

■

■

■

■

■

■

The scanner server must be turned on and running EPSON Scan Server.

From the client computer, start EPSON TWAIN Pro Network to establish a connection to the scanner server. Only one client computer at a time can connect to the scanner server. (See “Starting EPSON TWAIN Pro Network” on page 90 for instructions.)

Choose the Image Type , Resolution , and other settings you want for your scan.

(See Chapter 3, “How to Scan,” for more information about choosing settings.)

Place your first image on the document table (or in the optional automatic document feeder or one of the optional transparency unit’s film guides).

Start the scan. Although this can be done from EPSON TWAIN Pro Network on the client computer, it may be more convenient to press the scanner’s ] Start button or to start the scan from the scanner server. Then you can scan several images with a single trip to the scanner.

If you want to scan more than one image, place your second image on the document table and press the scanner’s ] Start button again. Repeat this step for every image you want to scan. (The settings you chose for the first image apply to these images too.)

When you return to the client computer, your scanned images appear in the host application’s window. Close EPSON TWAIN Pro Network to end your connection to the scanner server and allow other client computers to use the scanner.

Some applications, such as Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE, automatically close the client computer’s connection to the scanner server when you press the ] Start button. You can’t use the ] Start button to scan multiple images if you’re using these applications.


Starting EPSON Scan Server

EPSON Scan Server starts automatically whenever the scanner server is turned on.

When EPSON Scan Server is running, you’ll see either the EPSON Scan Server dialog box, or the EPSON Scan Server icon on the Windows taskbar. If you need to start EPSON Scan Server manually, click Start , Programs , EPSON Scan

Server , and then select EPSON Scan Server .

You can quit EPSON Scan Server at any time. Just click the Exit button on the

EPSON Scan Server dialog box.

Wait for this message before you exit.

Click to exit.

Before you quit, make sure no client computers are trying to use the scanner. Don’t exit if the status area of the EPSON

Scan Server dialog box indicates that you are connecting to a client. Wait until you see the message Waiting for connection.

If you installed EPSON TWAIN Pro on the scanner server so that you could make a direct connection to the scanner, remember that you must exit EPSON Scan Server to use

EPSON TWAIN Pro. EPSON Scan Server disables EPSON

TWAIN Pro.

89


Starting EPSON TWAIN Pro Network

You connect to the scanner server by starting EPSON TWAIN Pro Network from the client computer. Follow these steps:

1. Start your host application.

2. Select EPSON TWAIN Pro Network as your source, or scanner driver. (You only need to do this step once.)

For example, if you’re running Windows and using Presto! PageManager for

EPSON as your host application, choose Select Source from the File menu. In the Select Source window, choose EPSON TWAIN Pro Network and click

Select .

If you have a Macintosh and are using Presto! PageManager for EPSON, click

File , Select Source , then Select TWAIN Source . In the Select a source window, select the EPSON TWAIN Pro Network icon and click OK .

The command you choose from the File menu differs from one host application to another. With other host applications, you might choose Import or Select TWAIN_32 Source, for example.

3. Start EPSON TWAIN Pro Network.

If your host application is Presto! PageManager for EPSON, choose Acquire from the File menu. When EPSON TWAIN Pro Network starts, the EPSON

TWAIN Pro Network main menu appears and you connect to the scanner server.

Since the settings and controls for EPSON TWAIN Pro Network are the same as those for EPSON TWAIN Pro, see “Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro” on page 58 for general scanning instructions. For more detailed information about settings, see the EPSON Expression 1600 Software Reference Guide on your

EPSON Expression 1600 Scanning Tools CD-ROM.

IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card

To use the IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, your system must have either a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card, and must be running Macintosh OS 8.6 or later with FireWire Update 2.1 or later.

When you install the scanner software, FireWire Update 2.1 will automatically be installed or updated, if it’s not already on your Macintosh or if you have an older version.

This section explains how to install the IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card in your scanner, and how to connect the scanner to your computer.

■

■

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the EPSON Expression 1600, the card was preinstalled in your scanner. Go to “Connecting to an IEEE 1394

FireWire Interface” on page 29.

If you purchased the IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card as an option, continue with the next section.


Installing the Card in Your Scanner

Before you begin, turn off the scanner and disconnect the power cord and any cables.

1. Remove the two screws securing the shield plate to the scanner’s optional interface slot, and then remove the plate. Put the screws in a safe place in case you want to reinstall the shield plate later.

Static electricity can damage electronic components like the

IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card. To discharge static electricity, touch the scanner’s metal frame before handling the card.

2. Turn the card over so that the component side is facing down, and insert it in the optional interface slot.

Push gently until the card is firmly seated in the expansion slot inside the optional interface slot.

3. Tighten the retaining screws and reconnect the scanner’s cables.

Now you’re ready to connect the scanner to your computer. Continue with

“Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface” on page 29.

5. Slide the transportation lock at the back of the scanner to the

LOCK position.

If the carriage does not automatically return to the home position, slowly raise the front of the scanner and hold it up until the carriage comes to rest in the home position. Then slide the transportation lock to the LOCK position.

If you are using a transparency unit and it is switched on, the scanner carriage will not move to the home position. Remove the transparency unit first, then perform the steps above. See the next section for instructions.

Transporting the Transparency Unit

After you’ve removed the transparency unit from the scanner, prepare it for shipping as follows:

1. Slowly raise the front of the transparency unit as shown to allow the lamp assembly to slide to the back of the unit. Wait until the lamp assembly comes to rest.

110


2. Reinstall the transparency unit’s shipping screw in the hole marked CLAMP .

Cleaning the Scanner

To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it periodically. Before cleaning, unplug the power cord.

Use a soft cloth to clean the outer case with mild detergent dissolved in water.

If the document table glass gets dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. If the glass is stained with grease or other hard-to-remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off any remaining liquid with a dry cloth.

Be sure there’s no dust on your document table. Dust can cause white spots to appear in your scanned image.

111


Always unplug the scanner before cleaning.

Never use a harsh or abrasive brush or cleaning product to clean the document table. A damaged glass surface can decrease the scanning quality.

Never use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvent to clean the scanner. These chemicals can damage the scanner components as well as the case.

Be careful not to spill liquid into the scanner mechanism or electronic components. This could permanently damage them.

Don’t spray lubricants inside the scanner.

Never open the scanner case. If you think repairs or adjustments are necessary, consult your dealer or contact

EPSON.

Unplug the scanner and refer servicing to qualified service personnel if the power cord or plug is damaged, if liquid has entered the scanner, if the scanner has been dropped or the case damaged, or if the scanner does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Installing the TCP/IP

Protocol

To use your EPSON Expression 1600 as a network scanner, your client computers and scanner server must have a network interface card, a network interface card driver, and the TCP/IP protocol installed. In addition, both the client computers and the scanner server must have an IP address assigned.

If you have a newer Macintosh, the TCP/IP protocol was preinstalled on your computer. Just make sure that TCP/IP is enabled in your Extensions Manager. Your computer has already been assigned an IP address if you are running a DHCP server, so no further setup is necessary. Obtain an IP address from your network adminstrator if you want to enter an address manually.

If you’re running DHCP and WINS, or if you have a DNS server, you may find it easer to use a host name rather than an IP address to identify the scanner server. To specify a host name, you must enable DNS. See your Windows or

Macintosh documentation for instructions.

137


Installing the TCP/IP Protocol on

Windows 95 and Windows 98

1. Double-click the Network icon in the

Control Panel. If necessary, click the

Configuration tab to display the window on the right.

2. Check that TCP/IP appears in the list of installed network components.

If it appears in the list, go to “Assigning an

IP Address” on page 139.

If you don’t see TCP/IP in the list, continue with the next step.

3. Click the Add button. You see the screen to the right.

138

4. Select Protocol from the list and click the Add button. The screen to the right appears.

5. Select Microsoft from the

Manufacturers list, and TCP/IP from the Network Protocols list.

Then click OK .

6. Continue with the instructions below to assign an IP address.


Assigning an IP Address

If your network is connected to the Internet, ask your Internet provider or IS department for a formal IP address.

If your network is not connected to the Internet, you can use an IP address in the following ranges: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, or

192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Use a different IP address for every computer on your network.

If you use IP addresses in the ranges listed above, you may need to change them before you connect the network to the

Internet. Check with your network administrator.

If your network uses a DHCP server, you don’t need to obtain an IP address before beginning this procedure—the server finds one for you.

When you have your IP address, follow the steps below to assign it to your computer.

1. Select TCP/IP on the list of installed network components on the

Configuration tab, and then click the

Properties button. If necessary, click the IP Address tab.

2. Click Specify an IP address , and then enter the IP address and subnet mask.

If you’re using a DHCP server on your network, you can assign an IP address automatically by selecting Obtain an IP address automatically and clicking OK.

3. Click OK to close the TCP/IP Properties window, then click OK again to close the Network window and have your IP address assignment take effect. Make sure you share the IP address for the scanner server with client computers.

139


Installing the TCP/IP Protocol on

Windows NT 4.0

1. Double-click the Network icon in the

Control Panel. If necessary, click the

Protocols tab.

2. Check that TCP/IP Protocol appears in the list of network protocols.

If it appears in the list, go to “Assigning an IP Address” on page 141.

If you don’t see TCP/IP Protocol in the list, continue with the next step.

3. Click the Add button. You see the screen to the right.

4. Select TCP/IP Protocol and click OK .

5. Continue with the instructions below to assign an IP address.
