Scanning Transparencies
When you scan with the optional transparency unit (TPU) installed, you
need to select the correct basic settings in EPSON TWAIN. Before you
begin, make sure you’ve installed and turned on the transparency unit,
then place your transparent original in the unit. See your
Scanner Basics
book for instructions.
For most scans, you need to check four basic settings: Document
Source, Image Type, Destination, and Resolution (Advanced window
only). Follow these steps:
1 Select one of the following options in the Document Source list,
depending on the type of transparency you’re scanning:
Setting Type of document source
TPU for neg. Film For scanning negative film with the
transparency unit, such as negative film strips
TPU for pos. Film For scanning positive film with the
transparency unit, such as slides
If you’re scanning
positive, reflective
originals (such as a
photograph) with the
optional transparency
unit installed, be
sure to turn off the
transparency unit.
Then select Flatbed
as the Document
Source option; see
Selecting Basic
Settings for
instructions.
Maximum
transparency area is
