hello, scan the document to the pc

This could be a symptom of a bad cable. Scanning requires bi-directional communication with the computer. So print servers, usb hubs and any other poor connection will sometimes block the scanner from working when the printer works. Make sure that the Epson monitor program is running.

I hope this helps.

To scan: Insert doc. onto the scanner then go to Start menu, all programs, epson scan, epson scan

Let me know if you find it--my computer and the printer show that my ink cartridges are full, but blank paper comes out when I try to print.

this site is widely used for this problem.

I know the error is on the printer but it may still let you scan.

Use the following steps to scan with the Epson Scan utility:
1. Open Epson Scan by going into START, PROGRAMS, and EPSON SCAN.
2. If prompted, select your scanner from the list of models and click OK.
3. In the FILE SAVE SETTINGS window, you can designate the location, name and type of file the scans will be saved as.

-LOCATION defaults to MY DOCUMENTS. Click BROWSE if you wish to change this.
-PREFIX determines how the scan will be named. Type any name you like. You can also designate a start number.
-FILE TYPE dictates what format the scans will be saved in. ie. .JPG, .TIFF, .PDF, or .PICT)
-For example: if the prefix is "img", the start number is "1", and the format is "JPG", the name of the file saved in
PICTURES will be "IMG001.JPG". More settings for file format are found under OPTIONS.
4. Click OK once settings are changed as desired.
5. The EPSON SCAN window will open and begin scanning in FULL AUTO MODE. In FULL AUTO MODE the software makes all the decisions for you (as to what is being scanned, where it is on the flatbed, etc). This is the easiest way to scan.
6. If you want full control over the scanning process click PAUSE and change FULL AUTO MODE to HOME MODE or PROFESSIONAL MODE. In the latter two modes you can change your scan settings as desired. Click SCAN after you have selected your settings. Click CLOSE once the EPSON SCAN is finished scanning.
7. When scanning is complete, your images will be saved in the location specified on FILE SAVE SETTINGS, with the prefix and in the format you set.

Hi,

You can scan magazines and newspapers using this machine. You will need to use the Epson Scan software which is included in your printer driver disc. The picture below shows you need to select Home Mode and the important setting is for you to check the Descreening Filter option. You can just select other option to your own needs. For other question regarding this, please email me. Thanks!
