Image Preview Guidelines
You can preview your scanned image so you can adjust the scan settings using the preview as a guide.
There are two types of preview available, depending on the scan mode and selected settings:
Thumbnail preview
A thumbnail preview displays your previewed images as thumbnails with the scanned image area and
exposure automatically selected.
Normal preview
A normal preview displays your previewed images in their entirety so you can select the scanned
image area and other settings manually.

Scan Resolution Guidelines
If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the
resolution from the default resolution set by Epson Scan. Follow these guidelines to determine the
resolution setting you need:
• You will enlarge the image as you scan it.
If you will enlarge the image using Epson Scan's Target Size setting, you do not need to increase the
Resolution setting.
