University of Arizona Information Commons Training 2
Introduction and Overview
THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES between the 1670 Scanner and the older 1650 models are:
1. The image to be scanned is placed face down with the image facing toward the scanner
buttons) in the lower left corner. This is exactly opposite of the 1650 (and most other
scanners).
2. The scanning software has three modes instead of two. Basically, the Manual Mode has
been split into a Home Mode and a Professional Mode, each of which have some of the
options formerly found in the Manual Mode. The Professional Mode has the most
advanced options.
3. Multiple images (photos, etc.) may be placed on the scanner bed and as long as they
are spaced at least 8/10 inch apart, they can be scanned and saved as separate files,
thus saving time in scanning multiple pictures. (This can be done in all 3 modes.)
********************************************************************************************
In this module, we will cover the basics in using the EPSON 1670 Scanner to scan images.
Topics will include resolution, file types, scanning through Adobe Photoshop and using the
Epson Scan interface. (Optical Character Recognition scanning for use in a word processor is
covered in the Scanning Text module.)
Scanner Buttons are located on the front of the scanner. Do not use these to scan! Several of
the buttons are for functions that are not available in the Information Commons computers. It is
easiest to follow the following instructions in this handout, rather than using the buttons.
Materials that can be scanned:
•
•
•
•
•
images on paper (photographs, art work, etc)
text (as an image or as editable text)
even 3-dimensional objects!—just be careful not to damage the scanner’s glass bed!
with the Film/Slide holder—check out at Help Desk:
35mm negative film (“negatives” such as the ones you get with your photos after
developing)
35mm positive film (slides)
Cleaning the scanner bed:
The scanner bed is made of glass and will become smudged with fingerprints after much use.
The easiest way to clean the scanner bed is to use a soft paper towel (not the kind in the
bathrooms!) wetted with rubbing alcohol. Let dry. You may also use the screen wipes used for
cleaning the computer monitors. Sometimes these leave streaks though; remove any streaks
with the microfiber cloth. All these cleaning materials are available in the supply cabinet near the
Information Commons Help Desk.
Never spray anything directly onto the glass scanner bed! Liquid can seep inside and
damage the scanner.
Never push down on the glass scanner bed! Doing so can loosen, crack or even break the
glass!
Warning: Settings in the scanning interface may default to those set at last use.
