Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and
monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the
software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.
To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart settings (if
available) and try scanning again:
• If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale, adjust the Contrast setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White or Grayscale, adjust the Color Enhance setting.

Characters are Not Recognized During Conversion to Editable Text (OCR)
If characters in your scanned images are not recognized during OCR conversion, try these solutions:
• Make sure your original is loaded straight on your product.
• Use an original with clear text.
• When saving scanned images as Searchable PDFs, make sure the correct OCR language is selected.
• Adjust the following Epson Scan 2 settings if available, and try scanning again:
• On the Main Settings tab, make sure you select the correct Image Type for your original.
• On the Main Settings tab, set the Resolution between 200 and 600 dpi.
• On the Advanced Settings tab, select Text Enhancement and choose a setting.
Note: The Text Enhancement setting depends on the selected Image Type.
• If the Image Type is set to Black & White, adjust the Threshold setting on the Advanced Settings
tab. (The Image Option must be set to None.)
