EPSON Expression 1640XL Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro 1. Start your host application (for example, Adobe Photoshop LE). 2. Select your scanner driver.

In the Select Source dialog box, select EPSON TWAIN Pro(32-bit). Then click Select. If you have a Macintosh, click File, Import, Twain Select. In the Select a source dialog box, choose EPSON TWAIN Pro and click OK. The command you choose from the File menu differs from one host application to another. With other host applications, you might choose Acquire or Select Source instead of Import. 3. Open the scanner software.

If you need to remove color cast from your image, use the Gray Balance Intensity feature. 7. When you've finished making adjustments, click the Scan button.
