Image is Scanned Upside-Down Your product scans using the Auto Photo Orientationsetting. This setting checks the preview image
for faces, the sky, and other features, and then correctly rotates the photo when it is scanned, if
necessary. If your photo is not oriented correctly using this option, deselect the Auto Photo Orientation
setting and scan again.

Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and
monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the
software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.
To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these EPSON Scan settings (if available) and try
scanning again:
• Change theImage Typesetting and experiment with different combinations of the next settings.
• Adjust the Tone Correction setting.
• Adjust the Auto Exposure setting.
