Replacing the Document Mat
Replace the document mat by sliding it into the notches in the 
scanner cover. Make sure the white surface faces outwards.
Scanning and Restoring Photos
Using the Color Restoration feature in EPSON Scan, you can 
transform old, faded, or badly exposed photos into ones with 
true-to-life color. You can restore printed photos, negative film, 
or slides automatically as you scan them.
You can use 
Color Restoration in EPSON Scan’s Full Auto, 
Home, or Professional Mode. For detailed steps, see the 
on-screen User’s Guide.
Removing Dust and Scratch Marks 
From Film or Slides
Using the Dust Removal feature in EPSON Scan’s Full Auto 
or Professional Mode, you can virtually “clean” the dust marks 
from film or slides as you scan them. 
Your scanner and its EPSON Scan software are equipped with 
the 
Digital ICE™ and Digital ICE Lite™ features that remove 
stubborn dust or scratch marks from color film or slides.
DIGITAL ICE will not harm image details while Dust Removal 
may degrade the image. However, it takes longer to scan using 
DIGITAL ICE. 
For detailed steps on using these features, see the on-screen 
User’s Guide.
Reading the Scanner Light
If an error occurs, the scanner stops operating and the scanner 
light flashes red. This indicates one of the following problems:
❏The scanner is not connected to your computer properly or 
your software is not fully installed. See the Start Here sheet 
that came with your scanner for instructions on installing 
the scanner software and connecting the scanner to your 
computer.
❏The scanner and/or the transparency unit transportation 
lock is locked. Slide the lock to the unlock position.
❏The scanner cover cable is not connected to the scanner’s 
OPTION port. Connect the cable to the port.
After trying these solutions, turn off the scanner using its power 
button, then turn it back on.
If the scanner light is still flashing:
❏The scanner may be malfunctioning.
❏The scanner lamp may need to be replaced.
❏The connected optional equipment may be malfunctioning.
