Beginning Your Scan
Scans are always performed from within a host application (the application into which
you plan to import the scanned image or document). You have to start this
application before you can access your scanner software.
Once you’ve opened your application and selected your scanner driver, continue with
the instructions under “Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro” below or “Scanning
with LaserSoft SilverFast 4.0” on page 39. If you’re using the ISIS driver, see your
electronic EPSON Expression 836XL
ISIS Driver User’s Guide.
Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro
1. Start your host application (for example, Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE).
2. Select your scanner source. (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, choose
Select TWAIN_32 Source
. In the Select Source
dialog box, select E
PSON 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.
