Scanning Tips
Selecting the Scanning Mode
EPSON Scan has three scanning modes:
• Full Auto Mode allows the software to
automatically select the best settings
for your scan.
• Home Mode lets you adjust some of
the basic settings before you scan.
• Professional Mode gives full control
over all scan settings. You can
sharpen, correct, or enhance your
images before scanning.
You can choose the scanning mode from
the list box at the top right of the window.
To change settings in Full Auto Mode, click
the Pause button, then click Options. If
you’re using Home or Professional Mode,
the options window automatically appears.
Then select the settings you want to use
for your scan.
Note: The selected mode and settings remain in effect until they are changed.
For more information on the scanning modes and available settings, see the
on-screen Reference Guide.
Restoring Color in Photos
If you have faded photos or negatives, you can use the Color Restoration setting
in your software to improve the color of your scan. You can select this setting in
Smart Panel or in EPSON Scan.
Smart Panel
To select the Color Restoration setting, open Smart Panel and select RePrint
Photo. You see the screen below. Click the Color Restoration Icon.
EPSON Scan
Color Restoration is available in Home and Professional Modes.
To select Color Restoration, start
EPSON Scan. You see a screen
similar to this.
Click the Preview button at the
bottom of the screen. Then select
the Color Restoration checkbox.
(If you’re using Professional
Mode, you may need to scroll to
the bottom of the screen.)
Placing Film on the Scanner
The Perfection 1670 Photo scanner cover has a built-in transparency unit (TPU).
To scan negative film or slides, you’ll need to remove the reflective document mat
from the cover and place the film in a holder on the scanner glass.
1 Make sure the transparency unit cable is connected
to the back of the scanner (see step 4 in
“Connect the Scanner”).
2 Lift the scanner cover all the way up and
slide the reflective document mat up
and off of the scanner cover.
3 Slide the negative strip into the film holder, with the film’s shiny base side
facing down.
4 Place the film holder in the correct position for your film type. If you are
scanning slides, place the holder on the scanner first, then place the slides
in the holder.
Be sure to match the letter on the film holder tab with the corresponding
letter on the scanner.
Note: Make sure the narrow calibration window at the top of the film holder
is clean and uncovered to ensure an accurate scan.
5 Close the scanner cover.
Tip:
• Make sure your negatives or slides are dust-free for the
best scan. You can also select the Dust Removal setting
in EPSON Scan to improve your scan.
• If your scanned image is upside down, you can use the Rotate
buttons in EPSON Smart Panel (not available in all Smart Panel
applications) or in Preview mode in EPSON Scan. You can also
rotate the image in most image-editing applications.
Storing the Film Holder
When you’re finished scanning, you can store the film holder in the scanner
cover.
1 Lift the cover and remove the document mat.
2 Slide the film holder into the cover.
3 Replace the document mat.
