System and Memory Requirements

❏DOS 5.0 or higher

❏Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 3.1x, Windows for

Workgroups 3.1x, or Windows NT 3.5x or higher

Note:

To use 32-bit scanning features, your system must be running

Windows 95 or Windows NT.

soft2 Page 2 Friday, September 20, 1996 1:35 PM

System and Memory Requirements 3

❏A 486-based (or higher) IBM compatible computer or an

IBM PS/2®

❏CD-ROM drive (some software is provided on CD-ROM; if

you need diskettes, contact the software manufacturer)

❏An Adaptec®SCSI adapter or a bidirectional parallel

interface (either the standard bidirectional parallel interface

or a PS/2 standard printer port)

Note:

❏EPSON supports some Adaptec-compatible SCSI adapters.

❏If you do not have Windows 95 or Windows NT and you are

using an Adaptec SCSI adapter, you need to install the

Adaptec EZ-SCSI software, as described in your Adaptec

documentation.

❏A Video Graphics Array (VGA) or other Windows

compatible display adapter card or built-in interface

supporting at least 16 colors for simple color scanning. To

adequately view an average-complexity color scan, the card

or interface must support 256 colors, while high-quality,

realistic color scans require a card supporting 16 million

colors.

❏A color monitor compatible with the card or interface you

are using.

Note:

The quality of color or tone reproduction depends on the display

capability of your computer system, including the video controller,

monitor, and software.

❏At least 50MB of free hard disk space (more may be required,

depending on your application and images)

❏At least 8MB of available RAM (more may be required,

depending on your application and images).

4Before You Begin

Before You Begin

Be sure to read the safety instructions and guidelines for

choosing a place for your scanner in your Expression 636 User’s

Guide.

Setting Up the Scanner

1. Take the scanner out of the box and remove all packing

materials.

2. Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface with the scanner’s

rear panel facing you.

3. Release the transportation lock lever by sliding it to the

UNLOCK position.

4. Connect the power cable to the power inlet on the back of the

scanner and plug the other end into a properly grounded

outlet as shown below.

cCaution:

There are several versions of this scanner designed for different

voltages, and it is not possible to change the scanner's voltage. If

the label on the back of the scanner does not show the correct

voltage for your country, contact your dealer.

Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer 5

5. If any of the scanner’s lights come on, press the OPERATE

button to turn off the scanner.

cCaution:

Whenever you turn off the scanner, wait at least 10 seconds before

turning it back on. Rapidly turning the scanner on and off may

damage it.

Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

Your scanner has both a bidirectional parallel interface and a

SCSI interface. Cables can be connected to both interfaces at the

same time, and the scanner automatically switches to the

appropriate interface.

Note:

❏This guide contains instructions for using the SCSI interface. If

you are using the bidirectional interface, see your Expression 636

User’s Guide.

❏If you are already using the SCSI port on your computer for

another SCSI device, such as an external hard disk, you need a

SCSI cable with a 50-pin connector on one end and a connector to

match your other SCSI device on the other end. You can then

connect the scanner to your other SCSI device, following the

instructions in your Expression 636 User’s Guide.

Follow the instructions in this section to connect the scanner

directly to the SCSI port on your computer using the SCSI

interface and cable included with the scanner. The SCSI ID is

already set to 2 and the SCSI terminator is on.

soft2 Page 5 Friday, September 20, 1996 1:35 PM

6Installing the Scanner Software

cCaution:

Make sure that the scanner, the computer, and any other SCSI

devices are turned off and unplugged from the power source.

1. Install the SCSI board in your computer, if necessary. Follow

the instructions that came with your SCSI board.

2. Connect the 50-pin end of the cable to either the top or

bottom SCSI connector of the scanner; then squeeze the wire

clips together until they lock in place on both sides.

3. Plug the 25-pin connector into the SCSI port on your

computer. Tighten the two screws on the sides of the

connector.

4. Plug in the power cables of your computer, scanner, and

other external SCSI devices.

5. Turn on your scanner, then your computer. (Always turn the

scanner on before the computer.)

Note:

If you are using Windows 3.1, you need to install the SCSI software

included with your SCSI adapter. See your SCSI adapter documentation

for instructions.

Installing the Scanner Software

Now that you have connected the scanner to your computer, the

next thing to do is install your scanner software. Instructions for

installing all of the software included with your scanner are in

this section. You do not need to install all the software, but you

do need to install the EPSON Scanning Utilities.

soft2 Page 6 Friday, September 20, 1996 1:35 PM

Installing the EPSON Scanning Utilities 7

Note:

❏Different combinations of software are packaged with the EPSON

Expression 636. Some of the software listed may not have been

included with your scanner.

❏Some software is available for Windows 95 only.

For the software that comes on diskettes, it is a good idea to

make backup copies before you install it.

Remember to register your software with the manufacturer.

Installing the EPSON Scanning Utilities

The installer program automatically detects your operating

system and installs 32-bit or 16-bit files as necessary.

Note:

For Windows NT 4.x, follow the Windows 95 instructions.

For Windows NT 3.5x or Windows for Workgroups, follow the

Windows 3.1 instructions.

1. Start Windows 95 or Windows 3.1.

soft2 Page 7 Friday, September 20, 1996 1:35 PM

8Installing the EPSON Scanning Utilities

Note for Windows 95 SCSI users:

After you connect your scanner to your computer, you see the screen

below when you install or start Windows 95, or when you select the

Add New Hardware in the Control Panel.

Choose Do not install a driver and click OK. You do not need to

install EZ-SCSI, even if you are using an Adaptec SCSI card.

If you do not see this screen, make sure your SCSI adapter is set up

correctly. See your SCSI adapter documentation.

2. Insert the EPSON Scan! II program diskette 1 in a diskette

drive.

3. From Windows 95, click Start and then Run.

From the Windows 3.1 Program Manager, open the File

menu and select Run.

4. Type A:\SETUP (or B:\SETUP if you inserted the diskette in

drive B) and click OK. After a few moments, you see the

initial setup screen.

5. Click OK to continue. A dialog box displays the path in

which the installer software will install the EPSON Scan! II

program. The default path is C:\EPSCAN32 for Windows 95

or C:\EPSCAN2 for Windows 3.1.
