Installing the Macintosh Software
Although you can connect the scanner either before or after installing the scanner
software, you’ll see a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed if you
connect it before installing. Close the message and continue with the installation
instructions in the next section. For instructions on installing software for a network
scanner, go to Chapter 4, “Network Scanning.”
You can connect the scanner using either a SCSI or USB interface. If you have
installed the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can also
connect the scanner using the IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. See “Connecting the
Scanner to Your Computer” on page 18 for instructions on connecting the scanner,
and “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on page 122 for instructions on
installing the IEEE scanner FireWire interface card.
If you’ve used an EPSON scanner on your Macintosh and
have installed an older version of EPSON TWAIN software,
open the Extensions Manager before you begin installation.
Clear the checkboxes next to EPSON Scanner Monitor
Extension or EPSON Scanner Monitor USB Extension and
restart your computer. Then continue with the instructions
below.
Starting the Macintosh Software Installation
Before you begin, make sure you’ve recalibrated your monitor to factory
specifications. You can use tools such as ColorSync 2.5 or above, the Adobe Gamma
utility included with Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and above, and MonacoEZcolor.
If you don’t calibrate your monitor, you may get inconsistent
scanning results.
1. Turn on your Macintosh and turn off any virus protection programs you’re using.
2. Insert the EPSON Expression 1640XL Scanning Tools CD-ROM in your drive.
3. Double-click the EPSON TWAIN Pro folder.
4. Double-click the EPSON TWAIN Pro Installer icon.
