Cannot Start Epson Scan
If you cannot start Epson Scan, try these solutions:
• Make sure your scanner is turned on and any interface cables are securely connected at both ends.
• Make sure Epson Scan is selected in your scanning program.
• Make sure your computer is not running in a power-saving mode, such as sleep or standby. If so,
wake your system and restart Epson Scan.
• If you connected the scanner using a USB cable, make sure it is connected directly to your computer
or through only one USB hub.
• Make sure you do not have multiple versions of Epson Scan installed. If you do, uninstall both versions
and install one version.

Scanning is Slow
If scanning becomes slow, try these solutions:
• Scan your original at a lower resolution, if possible.
• Make sure your system meets the requirements for your operating system. If you are scanning a high-
resolution image, you may need more than the minimum requirements, such as a Hi-Speed USB port.
If necessary, increase your system's memory.
