Scanning Overview
You can use your Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series to turn pictures and text into editable images on your
computer.
The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use
the image or document after you scan it into your computer. For the best results, use these
recommended settings.
Type Resolution
Documents 300 dpi black-and-white or 200 dpi grayscale or color
Documents of poor quality or that contain small text 400 dpi black-and-white or 300 dpi grayscale
Photographs and pictures 100–200 dpi color or 200 dpi grayscale
Images for an inkjet printer 150–300 dpi
Images for a high-resolution printer 300–600 dpi
Scanning beyond these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If
you require a resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of
the image by previewing (or pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
Installing the Scan Driver
If you plan to import scanned images directly into an application (such as Adobe
®
Photoshop
®
or
Microsoft® Clip Organizer), or scan images directly to your computer, you must install a scan driver.
For Windows
To install the scan driver from the Software Disc:
1. Turn off the printer and the computer.
