Flexibility-Epson Scan Epson Scan software differs slightly by scanner model. Different scanners offer three of these four distinct scan modes to meet the needs of novice, intermediate, advanced, and business users.  Full Auto Mode: For the novice user-Epson Scan automatically previews the images and recognizes the document source and type. This mode then automatically crops, uses the auto-exposure settings to optimize images, and scans the image.  Home Mode: For the intermediate user-allowing adjustments of the basic image settings. Icons represent common scan settings. Available options include automatic sizing, one-touch color restoration, brightness and contrast adjustment, and destination/resolution choices. This mode allows the advanced amateur to select the best of automated features and user-controlled settings.  Professional Mode: For the advanced user-many options are available to give you greater control over your scanning. This mode allows the advanced user to have complete control over many sophisticated elements of pre-scanning. These elements include the Densitometer (a tool that allows a user to hit a specific color via numerical data), Multiple Marquee (for batch scanning), and Histogram (to correct tonal distribution).  Office Mode: For the business user-the Office Mode is helpful when you need to scan a large number of documents with the same size, using the optional Automatic Document Feeder. You can scan documents easily and quickly without preview in this mode.
