All Epson scanners

Scanners have become an integral part of human life - these devices are used everywhere. We will tell you everything about Epson scanners, consider tablet and other models, and also figure out how to use such equipment correctly.

The scanner is necessary for those people who are trying to convert a paper document into an electronic document. After transforming the image on paper, you can work with the document on any electronic device that supports the electronic format into which the document was converted. There are devices that, in addition to a scanner, combine other functions - a printer, a copier, and sometimes a fax.

A common model of a flatbed scanner is the Perfection modification. This device has in its design a scanner not only for digitizing documents, but also for photographs, film and slides. The external features of such a scanner are a compact body, a simple and understandable menu for any user, which even a schoolchild can understand.

The representative of stream scanners from EPSON is WorkForce DS model. Using such a device, you can scan any materials: plastic cards (up to 1.5 mm thick), business cards, A4 and A3 documents. These devices are equipped with dual pick-up sensors to detect pages that are stuck or bound together.

The representative of double-sided color scanners can be called a modification EPSON FastFoto FF-680VV. Distinctive features of such a device:

• speed - no more than 1 second per 1 photo;
• the ability to edit photos on the device;
• duplex scanning with a resolution of 600 dpi;
• the ability to send photos from a scanner to social networks and various instant messengers;
• automatic search and scanning of inscriptions on the back of the photo.

The scanner is quite simple to use. For all such devices, the principle of use is reduced to one template, which is presented below. First of all, the device must be prepared for operation - it must be configured for correct operation. This is especially true when the device is completely new. To do this, you need to step by step perform a number of points described below.

1. Connect the scanner to a computer or other paired device using a cable or Wi-Fi.
2. Install the driver for the scanner on the personal computer. This can be done from the installation disc that came with the kit, or you can download the driver via the Internet. In this case, in the search engine, you need to enter the full name of the scanner, with all letters and numbers that are indicated in the documentation or on the device itself. You only need to download the driver from the official website and the latest version.
3. After downloading the driver and launching it, the computer must independently determine the paired device - the scanner.
4. The scanner contains glass in its construction. It must be carefully wiped off so that the information from the paper is qualitatively transferred into electronic form.

After the preparatory activities, you can proceed directly to scanning documents... To do this, put a sheet of paper with information on the glass so that the printed material is on the bottom. Then open the device management program on the computer. In the window that opens, you need to find the "Scanners" folder and click on it.A dialog box for scanning a document will open with the button of the same name, which must also be clicked. The machine starts scanning.

The resulting file will be located in the folder specified in the settings. By default, the scanned document is saved to the My Documents folder.

Users often face various problems when operating such equipment. One of the common problems is lack of communication (connection) with the scanner. If the device is connected with a cable, then checking the contacts will help to correct the situation - the connection may not be performed correctly. Perhaps the USB cable is damaged, then it should be replaced with a new one. To be sure of this, it is enough to connect it to any working port.

Also, problems are possible in the paired device itself, for example, in a computer. Then you need to connect the scanner to another device. In the event that the error cannot be corrected, it is worth entrusting the task of correcting errors to professionals.

If your EPSON scanner is wirelessly paired and not connected, there are a number of steps you need to take as follows.

1. Find the folder where EPSON Scan is installed.
2. There should be an escfg file in this folder. exe. You need to run it.
3. A dialog box will open in which you should select the "Connection" item. Click "On the network".
4. A window for entering the address of the network scanner will open. Click the "Add" button.
5. In the next window, select "Automatic address search". You can also try entering the address manually. To do this, click on the "Manual address entry" button.
6. When the device address is entered, you need to click the "OK" button.

The next problem is critical error... This can be determined by the rapidly flashing power light on the device. The solution to this problem is to disconnect the USB cable and unplug the scanner from the network for 10-20 seconds. After such manipulations, you can continue working with the scanner.

Software error. Due to such an error, the device may simply freeze. This is influenced by a number of factors. For example, these include external factors - for example, improper operating conditions (the device was dusty or operated in a high level of humidity), power outages (the scanner often turned off during operation), incorrect operation of the port or USB cable.

Also worth pay attention to internal factors. These include malfunctions of any module that lead to a malfunction of the controller. This error can be corrected by turning off the device for a few minutes. However, if this does not help, then you should take the device to a service center.

Software malfunctions are inherent not only to the scanner, but also to the PC itself. The computer may have malware installed or the settings may not meet the requirements. If the software is normal and the settings have not changed, then you need to reinstall the software of the scanner itself. In any case, the scanner manual contains recommendations for eliminating errors. Study the device carefully before using it.
