    • Year/Month or Season/Subject: Set the file name settings.
    • Create a subfolder for this batch of pictures: Create a new subfolder for the scanned images.
    • Do not prompt me to describe my photos when scanning: Skip this screen the next time you scan. You will not be prompted to describe your photos.
  3. 3Click Start Scanning.

    Note:

      See the User's Guide supplied with the scanner for instructions on cleaning.

    • If multiple photos feed through at the same time, press the (Slow Mode) button to slow down the feeding speed. Press the button again to return to normal speed.

  4. 4After scanning is completed, the following screen is displayed:

    If you want to continue scanning, click Scan Next Batch. If you are finished scanning, click Done Scanning.

  5. 5The photos are scanned and saved in the location you chose. Check the scanned images.

    The following rules apply to file naming:

    • No identifier is added: These are the original scanned images. No enhancements were applied.
    • Added "_a" at the end: These images include automatic color enhancements.
    • Added "_b" at the end: These are the scanned back sides of the photo. You can enable back side scanning from Settings > Scan Settings tab.

After scanning, you can share, upload, or edit the images using Epson FastFoto. You can also change the view setting of thumbnails.
