Preparing Scanner Software
For the scanner to operate, it must interact with the computer using
various settings for scanning and image data transfer. Therefore, to
use the scanner you need a software utility program that enables
your computer to communicate with the scanner. To purchase the
proper software for your scanner, consult your Epson dealer.
Using Application Software
The main advantage of using an image scanner is that you can edit
the scanned images on a computer. Various software packages are
available for creating and editing images. Some software packages
allow you to scan images directly. Others require a utility program
to scan the image and then convert it to a usable file format.
Your software may have an installation or setup procedure that lets
you select scanner types from a list of input devices. If the ES-300C
is not listed, contact your software manufacturer to see if there is a
software update.
Note: The number and type of scanner functions you can use
depends on your software. See your software manual for details
on available functions.
Programming
If you are an experienced programmer or are familiar with
programming languages, you may be interested in the
programmer’s manual which is available from your dealer. It fully
describes software control of the scanner. This manual explains the
formats and functions of the scanner commands and handshaking
method, as well as some programming tips for getting the best
performance out of your scanner.
