To begin using the Epson Sheet Feed Scanner,  open the software on the computer by clicking the icon labeled ‘Epson Scan’.

The dropdown menu in the upper left-hand corner allows the user to select different interface modes, with “Home
Mode” being the most basic and “Professional Mode” being for advanced users. This guide will cover
“Office Mode.”
