product software as instructed on the Start Here sheet. If you install your scanner software programs
individually, be sure to also install this component using the Epson Software Updater if you want to
perform OCR.

2. Start Epson Scan 2.
3. Select your scan settings.
4. Click Preview and adjust the area you want to scan, if necessary.
5. If you are using the ADF, reload the ejected original.
6. Select Searchable PDF as the Image Format setting.
7. Select Options from the Image Format list.
