`

`
`Installing the Parallel Interface Card
`Follow the steps in this section if you need to install the
`bidirectional parallel interface card in your computer. You may
`also need to configure the card before you install it.
`
`Some computers come with a built-in bidirectional parallel
`interface. You do not need to install the parallel interface card if
`your computer has a built-in interface that you are not
`currently using. If you will connect the scanner to an existing
`interface, skip to "Setting Up the Scanner" on page 7.
`
`Note:
`Standard (unidirectional) and bidirectional parallel interfaces look the
`same but operate differently. Your scanner does not work with a
`standard parallel interface, so check your computer manual to make
`sure you have an unused bidirectional parallel interface before you
`connect the scanner to it.
`
`Configuring the Card
`
`The parallel interface card contains jumpers that select the port
`address (LPT1 or LPT2) and interrupt (IRQ5 or IRQ7) it uses.
`You may need to change the jumper settings if there is a
`conflict with your computer's parallel port settings. See your
`computer manual for information about the port address and
`interrupt used by its parallel port.
`
`The bidirectional parallel interface card default settings are:
`
`U Port address LPT2
`
`CJ Interrupt IRQ5.
`
`Your computer's parallel port probably uses LPT1 and a
`different IRQ setting. However, if it uses LPT2 or IRQ5, follow
`the steps in this section to change the interface card's jumper
`settings.
`
`PANASONIC CORP., et al.
`
`Ex 1308, p. 7 of 27
`
`

`
`1. Carefully remove the interface card from its packaging,
`holding it only by its top edges. Then place it on a flat,
`clean surface.
`
`Caution:
`Avoid touching the components or the gold contacts on
`the interface card; they can be damaged by static
`electricity.
`
`2. Locate jumpers Jl and J2 on the interface card, as shown
`below.

`
`3. The settings are printed on the circuit board next to the
`jumpers. To change a setting, lift off the jumper cap and
`reinstall it over the appropriate pair of pins.
`
`Caution:
`Be careful not to bend the jumper pins.

`
`Installing the EPSON Scanning Utilities
`The EPSON Scanning Utilities include EPSON Scan! II and
`EPSON TWAIN. Scan! uses TWAIN to capture images and
`then saves and exports these images in a variety of file formats.
`It also calibrates your scanner and output devices to produce
`images nearly identical to the originals.
`
`EPSON TWAIN is a set of drivers designed to access your
`scanner's advanced features for any software that supports
`TWAIN. TWAIN drivers are an industry standard for
`acquiring image data from a variety of external sources
`without leaving your application program.

`
`c__
`
`N~ s
`
`i
`
`Several factors affect how closely your scanned image reflects
`the original, especially when you print the images on paper.
`The next sections discuss basic calibration techniques and
`resolution settings you can use in EPSON Scan! II to help you
`achieve the results you want. See your EPSON Scanning
`Utilities User's Guide for information on other, more
`sophisticated methods of modifying your scan.

`
`

`
`Calibrating Your System
`
`Calibration allows you to match your scanner and your output
`device so you can reproduce color images that are very close to
`the originals.
`
`because monitors use a different method to display color
`images than printers use to print them, images look different
`when displayed than when printed. Also, each output device
`may produce different printed results. For example, an image
`printed on an electronic color printer looks dramatically
`different when printed on a printing press.
`
`EPSON Scan! II calibrates your scanner with your monitor,
`application, and printer by analyzing the results of a calibration
`sample at each stage of the process. The basic calibration
`process consists of:
`
`q Calibrating your monitor to your scanner
`
`q Enabling screen calibration
`
`q Exporting a calibration chart to your application
`
`LI Creating calibration profiles for your printers
`
`0 Scanning using the calibration profile.
`
`These procedures are described in the following sections.
`
`Calibrating your monitor to your scanner
`Follow these steps to calibrate your monitor to your scanner:
`
`1. Select EPSON Scan! II in the EPSON Scanner program group
`or folder.
`
`2. Choose Screen Calibration from the Calibrate menu.

`
`1. From the File menu, choose Acquire to start EPSON TWAIN.
`
`2. Choose Advanced. You see the advanced TWAIN screen.
`
`3. Select Configuration; you see the Configuration dialog box.
`

`
`

`
`Exporting a calibration chart
`To calibrate your printer to your scanner, you need to export a
`calibration chart from Scan! II to your application and then
`create a calibration profile.
`
`Note:
`If you have any of these EPSON Stylus ® ink jet printers, Scan! II
`provides printer calibration profiles for you so you do not have to
`create them:

`
`9. Choose the Scan icon. The program scans the calibration
`chart and creates a calibration profile.
`
`Now you can use this calibration profile when you scan images.
`
`Scanning using calibration
`Follow these steps to use a calibration profile when you scan:
`
`1. Choose Acquire from the File menu of EPSON Scan! II or
`choose Scan from the File menu of Image-In. You see the
`EPSON TWAIN advanced screen. (If you see the easy
`screen, select Advanced.)
`
`2. Choose the Destination button; you see the Destination
`dialog box.
`
`3. If you have one of the EPSON ink jet printers listed in the
`Note on page 20, select the printer from the Destination
`Name pull-down menu. The Calibration description is
`assigned automatically. Go to step 5.
`
`If you just created a calibration profile for your printer, type
`a unique name for the profile, such as Color 1 Profile, in the
`Destination Name field. Go to step 4.
`
`4. From the Calibration pull-down menu, select the description
`of the printer you used when you scanned the profile (for
`example, Color Printer 1).
`
`5. Choose Save.

`
`

`
`6. Choose OK. You see the EPSON TWAIN advanced screen.
`
`7. Select the Scan button. The scanner scans using the
`information in the calibration profile to produce the best
`possible image for your printer.
`
`Selecting the Correct Resolution
`
`To select the best resolution for scanning an image, you must
`consider three factors:
`
`q Type of image you are scanning
`
`q Final output device type
`
`q Acceptable file size.
`
`You'll select different resolutions for scanning line drawings
`and halftones than for scanning photographs.
`
`The final output device is the device on which you plan to
`ultimately print the image. This may be a printer connected to
`your computer or a commercial printing press.
`
`In addition, the file size of the scanned image may determine
`the resolution you select. The file size may be very large for
`high resolution scans, taking up valuable disk space and
`causing longer processing or printing time. Generally, the
`higher the resolution you choose, the larger the file.
`
`Note that a very high resolution scan may not produce a
`betterquality printed image because your output device may
`not recognize the high resolution information stored in the file.
`In other words, there is no point in scanning at a higher
`resolution than your output device is capable of. To keep file
`sizes manageable, select the lowest resolution that provides
`acceptable quality on your output device.

`
`

`
`To scan at the optimum resolution for your image and final
`output device, select your resolution based on the
`recommendations in the table below. The resolutions are listed
`in dots per inch (dpi) or pixels per inch (ppi).

`
`You can change resolutions using EPSON TWAIN by choosing
`the Destination button on the advanced screen. In the
`Destination dialog box, select the box beneath the resolution
`type you want to change (Drawing/Halftone or Photo); then
`choose the resolution for that type from the pull-down menu.
`
`For more information on resolution, see your scanner
`User's Guide and the EPSON Scanning Utilities User's Guide.
`
`Now that you know the basics, you're ready to begin scanning.
`For additional information, see the manuals for your scanner,
`the scanning utilities, and Image-In.
