Scan Resolution Guidelines

The Resolution setting, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes with the following disadvantages:

  • Larger file sizes
  • It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans
  • The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper 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 2.

Follow these guidelines to determine the resolution setting you need:

  • You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.

Increase the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting in your scan. Increase the resolution by the same amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the Resolution setting to 600 dpi.

  • You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.

Select the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:

  • Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi
  • Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

Refilling Ink

When the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, you need to refill it. Before checking the ink levels or refilling an ink tank as described here, be sure to read the ink safety precautions.

Caution: If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on a tank could damage the product.

Ink Safety Precautions

Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling the ink tanks correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may generate inaccurate messages if the ink tanks are not refilled according to these instructions. As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tanks to ensure ink levels do not fall below the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the product.

Ink Handling Precautions

  • Keep ink bottles and the ink tanks out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle the ink bottles and bottle caps.
  • Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after opening it; otherwise, ink may leak.
  • If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately. Seek medical advice if problems persist.
  • Do not squeeze the ink bottles.

Ink Refilling Precautions

  • Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.
  • Epson's warranties do not extend to any damage caused by the use of third-party ink or ink not designed for your printer.
  • This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
  • Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill an ink tank. Ink bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print quality may be affected.
  • If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, refill the ink. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank could damage the product.
  • Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the upper line when the product is not operating to reset the ink levels.
  • After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it.
  • Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
  • Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an opened ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.

Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information

  • To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during printing and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head.
  • The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or performance.
  • The specification and appearance of the ink bottles are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
  • If an ink bottle is dented, you can still use the ink. The quality and quantity of ink will not be affected.
  • When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead of black ink, depending on the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
  • A reserve amount of ink remains in the tank when your product indicates that a refill is necessary.

Check Ink Levels

Checking Ink Levels on Your Product

To confirm the actual ink levels, visually check the ink levels in the product’s ink tanks. Make sure the ink levels are above the lower lines on the ink tanks.

Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling the ink tanks correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage.

Refilling the Ink Tanks

Make sure you have new ink bottles handy and have read the ink safety precautions before you begin. You can continue to use the product even if one or more ink tanks are not filled all the way. However, for the most accurate ink level monitoring, fill all the ink tanks up to the top line.

Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling the ink tanks correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may generate inaccurate messages if the ink tanks are not refilled according to these instructions.

As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tanks to ensure ink levels do not fall below the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the product.

Caution: Wear disposable gloves while refilling the ink tanks to avoid staining your hands. If ink spills, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

1. Turn on your product.

2. Lift up the scanner unit.

3. Open the ink tank cover, then open the cap for the ink tank you are going to fill.

4. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.

Caution: Do not shake or squeeze the bottle. Do not touch the top of the bottle after its cap is removed.

Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately. Seek medical advice if problems persist. Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

5. Position the top of the ink bottle along the slot in front of the filling port, then slowly stand the bottle up to insert it.

Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to identify the color of each tank. Do not force the bottles into position; they are keyed for each color.

6. Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle. Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when the ink is filled to the upper line.

Note: If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle.

7. When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle and securely close the ink tank cap.

Note: If any ink remains in the bottle, replace the bottle cap and tighten it. Store the bottle upright for later use.

8. Repeat the previous steps as necessary for each ink tank you need to refill.

9. Close the ink tank cover, then close the scanner unit.

10. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset the ink level for the colors you refilled.

Maintenance Box Replacement

The maintenance box stores surplus ink that gets flushed from the system during print head cleaning. When you see a message on the LCD screen, follow the on-screen instructions to replace the maintenance box.

Note the following precautions when replacing the maintenance box:

  • Do not remove the maintenance box or its cover except when replacing the maintenance box; otherwise, ink may leak.
  • Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box.
  • Do not tilt the maintenance box after removing it or ink may leak.
  • Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box or you may get ink on you.
  • Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong shocks.
  • If you cannot replace the cover, the maintenance box may not be installed correctly. Remove and reinstall the maintenance box.
  • Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.

Caution: Do not reuse a maintenance box that has been removed and left uninstalled for a long period. Keep the maintenance box away from direct sunlight.

Note: The maintenance box is a user-replaceable part and is not covered by the product warranty.

Adjusting Print Quality

If your print quality declines, you may need to run a utility to clean or align the print head. If running these utilities does not solve the problem, you may need to run a Power Cleaning or clean the paper or print head path.

Print Head Maintenance

If your printouts become too light, or you see dark or light bands across them, you may need to clean the print head nozzles. Cleaning uses ink, so clean the nozzles only if print quality declines. You can check for clogged nozzles before you clean them so you don’t clean them unnecessarily.

Note: You cannot clean the print head if the ink level has reached the lower line on the ink tank, and may not be able to clean it when the ink level in any of the tanks is low.

You must refill the ink tank first. If you still see white or dark lines or gaps in your printouts, even after cleaning the print head several times, you can run a Power Cleaning.

Print Head Nozzle Check

You can print a nozzle check pattern to check for clogged nozzles.

Solving Copying Problems

Product Makes Noise, But Nothing Copies

If your product makes a noise, but nothing copies, try these solutions:

  • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary.
  • If the nozzle check page does not print, but the product's power is on, make sure your product software is installed correctly.
  • Make sure your product is level (not tilted)

Product Makes Noise When It Sits for a While

Your product is performing routine maintenance. This is normal.

Solving Paper Problems

Paper Feeding Problems

If you have problems feeding paper, try these solutions:

  • Make sure the paper cassette is inserted all the way in the printer.
  • If paper does not feed correctly, remove and reload it in the cassette and adjust the edge guides. Make sure the paper stack is not above the tab on the edge guides inside the cassette.
  • If multiple pages feed at once, remove the paper, fan the edges to separate the sheets, and reload it.
  • Do not load more than the recommended number of sheets.
  • Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
  • If paper jams when you print on both sides of the paper, try loading fewer sheets.
  • For best results, follow these guidelines:
    • Use new, smooth, high-quality paper that is not curled, creased, old, too thin, or too thick.
    • Load paper in the cassette printable side down.
    • Follow any special loading instructions that came with the paper.

Paper Jams Inside the Product

If you see a message that paper has jammed in the product, follow the on-screen instructions to locate and remove the jammed paper. Take the following precautions when removing jammed paper from the product:

  • Remove the jammed paper carefully. Using too much force may damage the product.
  • Unless specifically instructed, avoid tilting the product, placing it on its side, or turning it upside down, as ink may spill.

Warning: Never touch the buttons on the control panel while your hand is inside the product. If the product starts operating, it may cause an injury. Do not touch any protruding parts inside the product.

Paper Ejection Problems

If you have problems with paper ejecting properly, try these solutions:

  • If paper does not eject fully, you may have set the wrong paper size. Cancel printing to eject the paper. Select the correct paper size when you reprint.
  • If paper is wrinkled when it ejects, it may be damp or too thin. Load new paper and be sure to select the correct paper type setting when you reprint.

Solving Problems Printing from a Computer

Nothing Prints

If you have sent a print job and nothing prints, try these solutions:

  • Make sure your product is turned on and connected to your computer.
  • Make sure any interface cables are connected securely at both ends.
  • If you connected your product to a USB hub, make sure it is a first-tier hub. If it still does not print, connect your product directly to your computer instead of the hub
  • Make sure the printer status is not offline or pending.
  • Run a product check to see if a test page prints. If the test page prints, check to see if your product software is installed correctly.

Solving Print Quality Problems

White or Dark Lines in Printout

If you notice white or dark lines in your prints (also called banding), try these solutions before you reprint:

  • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary.
  • Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded.
  • Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.
  • Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
  • Adjust the print quality in the product software.
  • You may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels.
  • If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility.

Note: Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality by cleaning the print head.

Blurry or Smeared Printout

If your printouts are blurry or smeared, try these solutions:

  • Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product.
  • Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.
  • Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
  • Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.
  • Make sure the paper type setting in your product software matches the type of paper you loaded.
  • Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.
  • Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed.
  • Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set.
  • Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
  • If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first. Adjust the density and/or ink drying time settings.
  • If printed copies are smeared, lower the copy density setting on the product control panel.
  • The ink levels may be low and you may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels.
  • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary.
  • Align the print head.
  • Adjust the print quality in the product software.
  • Clean the paper path.
  • If you printed when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows, refill the ink tanks to the upper lines and run the Power Cleaning utility. Then run a nozzle check to see if print quality has improved.
  • If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility.

Note: Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality by cleaning the print head.

Note: Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions.

Faint Printout or Printout Has Gaps

If your printouts are faint or have gaps, try these solutions:

  • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary.
  • The ink levels may be low. Visually check the ink levels.
  • Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded.
  • Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product.
  • Align the print head.
  • Adjust the print quality in the product software.
  • Clean the paper path.
  • If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility.

Note: Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality by cleaning the print head.

Grainy Printout

If your printouts are grainy, try these solutions:

  • Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.
  • Select a higher print quality setting and turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
  • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary.
  • Align the print head.
  • Adjust the print quality in the product software.
  • You may need to increase the image resolution or print a smaller size; see your software documentation.

Note: Images from the Internet may be low resolution and not result in a high quality printout.

  • If you enlarged the image size in an image-editing program, you need to increase the image resolution setting to retain a high image quality. Increase the image resolution by the same amount you increase the image size. For example, if the image resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size for printing, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.

Note: Higher resolution settings result in larger file sizes, which take longer to process and print. Consider the limitations of your computer system when selecting a resolution, and select the lowest possible resolution that produces acceptable quality to keep file sizes manageable.

Incorrect Colors

If your printouts have incorrect colors, try these solutions:

  • Make sure the paper type setting matches the paper you loaded.
  • Make sure the Grayscale setting is not selected in your printer software.
  • If you selected Standard-Vivid (Windows) or Normal-Vivid (Mac) as the quality setting in the printer software, try selecting Standard (Windows) or Normal (Mac) instead.
  • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary.
  • The ink levels may be low and you may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels.
  • If you printed when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows, refill the ink tanks to the upper lines and run the Power Cleaning utility. Then run a nozzle check to see if print quality has improved.
  • After you print, the colors in your printout need time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors may look different than you expect. To speed up drying time, do not stack your printouts on top of each other.
  • Your printed colors can never exactly match your on-screen colors. However, you can use a color management system to get as close as possible. Try using the color management options in your printer software.
  • For best results, use genuine Epson paper.
  • If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility.

Note: Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality by cleaning the print head.

Solving Scanning Problems

    • Mac: Open the Applications folder, click Epson Software, and click Epson Scan 2 Utility. Make sure the correct product is selected. If necessary, select the Other tab and click Reset.
  • Make sure you do not have multiple versions of Epson Scan 2 installed. If you do, uninstall both versions and install one version.
  • If you upgraded your operating system but did not reinstall Epson Scan 2, try reinstalling it.

Solving Scanned Image Quality Problems

Image Consists of a Few Dots Only

If your scanned image consists only of a few dots, try these solutions:

  • Make sure you placed your original for scanning facing the correct way.
  • If the Image Type setting is Black & White, adjust the Threshold and scan again.

Line of Dots Appears in All Scanned Images

If a line of dots appears in all your scanned images, clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth or use a small amount of glass cleaner on the cloth, if necessary. Paper towels are not recommended.

Caution: Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the scanner glass.

Straight Lines in an Image Appear Crooked

If straight lines in an original appear crooked in a scanned image, make sure to place your original straight when you scan it.

Image is Distorted or Blurry

If a scanned image appears distorted or blurry, try these solutions:

  • Do not move your original or your product during scanning.
  • Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place your product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions.
  • Adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:
    • Increase the Resolution setting.
    • If the Image Type setting is Black & White, adjust the Threshold setting.
    • If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale, select the Unsharp Mask setting.
    • If the Image Type setting is Black & White, select Text Enhancement. If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale, change the Text Enhancement setting to High.

Image Colors are Patchy at the Edges

If you are scanning a thick or warped original, cover its edges with paper to block external light as you scan it.

Image is Too Dark

If your scanned image is too dark, try these solutions:

  • If the Image Type is set to Color or Grayscale, adjust the Brightness setting.
  • Check the brightness and contrast settings of your computer monitor.

Back of Original Image Appears in Scanned Image

If an image from the back of a thin original appears in your scanned image, try these solutions:

  • Place a piece of black paper on the back of the original and scan it again.
  • Adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:
    • Select the Advanced Settings tab and adjust the Brightness setting.
    • If the Image Type is set to Black & White, select Text Enhancement. If the Image Type is set to Color or Grayscale, change the Text Enhancement setting to High.

Ripple Patterns Appear in an Image

You may see a ripple pattern (called a moiré) in scanned images of printed documents. This is caused by interference from differing pitches in the scanner's screen and your original's halftone screen. To reduce this effect, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:

  • Select the Descreening setting
  • Select a lower Resolution setting.

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 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:

  • If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale, adjust the Contrast setting.
  • If the Image Type setting is Black & White or Grayscale, adjust the Color Enhance setting.

Scanned Image Edges are Cropped

If the edges of a scanned image are cropped, make sure your original is placed correctly for scanning. If necessary, move your original away from the edges of the scanner glass slightly.
