II. Summary: I will teach you how to use the new Epson Expression 1680 scanner that is

     on a PC in the 242 HM lab.  This scanner uses the software Adobe Photoshop 7 along

     with Silver Fast and it scans with perfection.

 

III. Step by Step Instructions:

 

      1.) Place your picture or document face down on the scanner.

 

      2.) Open Adobe Photoshop 7 (under programs).

 

      3.) Once Adobe Photoshop is open, go to “file”---“import”---“WIA-Epson

            Exp1680.”

 

      4.) Epson Expression will open and a “Scan Pilot” will pop up on the left side of the screen. 

 

      5.) The buttons on the “Scan Pilot” are the buttons you will use to alter your image after you’ve saved it.

 

      6.) If you place the cursor over the button (on the Scan Pilot) that you want to use, a box will pop up

            explaining what the button means.

 

      7.) After you pre-scan and decide that the image is what you want, finalize the scan and save it.

 

     8.) To save, go to “file”---“save as”---and save the file with the name and location

              that you choose.

     

      9.)  After the scan is finished, you can use the Scan Pilot to alter the image.  If you make any changes to the

scanned image, make sure to   save it again.

 

     10.) To print, go to “file”---“print”---and your image will print.
