Checking the Connection Status (Windows)

Use Epson Scan 2 Utility to check the connection status.

Note:

Epson Scan 2 Utility is an application supplied with the scanner software.

  1. Start the Epson Scan 2 Utility.

    • Windows 10
      Click the start button, and then select EPSON > Epson Scan 2 Utility.
    • Windows 8.1/Windows 8
      Enter the application name in the search charm, and then select the displayed icon.
    • Windows 7
      Click the start button, and then select All Programs or Programs > EPSON > Epson Scan 2 > Epson Scan 2 Utility.
  2. On the Epson Scan 2 Utility screen, open the Scanner list, and then click Settings to open the Scanner Settings screen.

    If the Scanner Settings screen is already displayed instead of the Epson Scan 2 Utility screen, go to the next.

  3. If the scanner is not displayed on the Scanner Settings screen, your scanner is not detected.

    Click Add, and then add your scanner on the Add Network Scanner screen.

If you cannot search for the scanner or cannot scan even if the correct scanner is selected, see the related information.
