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 saffron.book Page 26 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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 saffron.book Page 27 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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 saffron.book Page 28 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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. Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on page 30 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47. 28 terminator switch saffron.book Page 29 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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. 29 saffron.book Page 30 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM Installing the Windows Software Before you begin installing software, make sure you recalibrate your monitor to factory specifications.

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 saffron.book Page 54 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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. 54 saffron.book Page 55 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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. 55 saffron.book Page 56 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM Recommended Settings Here are some recommended settings for different types of scans.

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. top corner of document 3. Close the document cover slowly. Be careful not to move the 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 saffron.book Page 58 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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. Click to start scanning. On a Macintosh, select TWAIN_Acquire. Click to display a preview of the image. The EPSON TWAIN Pro main window appears. 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. 58 saffron.book Page 59 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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.) 59 saffron.book Page 60 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 8.

This section includes the following: ■ How to set up the ] Start button to launch other applications ■ How to set up Presto! PageManager for one-touch scanning. To use the ] Start button with a network scanner, the client computer must start both the host application and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network. Pressing the ] Start button sends the scanned image to the client computer currently connected to the scanner server, but does not automatically launch any applications. When EPSON Scan Server is running, the Expression 1600 connected to the scanner server becomes a network scanner available only to remote users. The scanner server cannot use the ] Start button features described in this chapter, which are only available to a local scanner. 60 saffron.book Page 61 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM Setting Up the ] Start Button If you didn’t install Presto! PageManager or if you have the Special Edition model of the scanner, you need to assign an application to the ] Start button before you use it the first time. If you’re running Windows 98, whenever you press the ] Start button you’ll see a window asking you to choose which application to launch. To avoid this window, make sure that only one application is assigned to the ] Start button.

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 saffron.book Page 138 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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. 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. 138 saffron.book Page 139 Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:32 PM 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.
