Document Capture Pro is an application that allows you to easily digitize originals such as documents and forms.

You can save scanned images to a speciﬁed folder, send by email, and perform copying functions by linking to a

printer. You can also split documents by using separation information such as barcodes and automatically process

new ﬁles. is allows you to streamline the way electronic documents are handled, such as reading large

documents and making best use of network capabilities.

Document Capture Pro is for Windows only. For Mac OS, use Document Capture, and for Windows Server, use

Document Capture Pro Server.

See the Document Capture Pro help (Windows) or Document Capture (Mac OS) for details on using the

the job. By assigning a job to the scanner’s control panel, you can start a job from the control panel (Button

Assignment).

Separation Function:

You can automatically process complicated sorting or organizing by using a variety of detection methods such as

blank pages with/without barcodes which are inserted between the originals, or barcodes on the originals.

You can also sort multiple scanned images as separate ﬁles and save each ﬁle in speciﬁc folders by using these

methods or by setting speciﬁc pages.

Document Capture Pro Server

Document Capture Pro Server is an application for Windows Server that allows you to manage up to 100 scanners

on the network through servers.

By using a web browser, you can register and monitor scanners or register jobs: 1. Scan > 2. Save > 3. Send and

❏ Curled originals

❏ Coated paper

Note:

❏ Because carbon-less paper contains chemical substances that may harm the rollers, if paper jams occur frequently, clean

the pickup roller and the separation roller.

❏ Crinkled originals may scan better if you slow down the feeding speed during scanning or smooth out the crinkles before

❏ To scan delicate originals or originals that are easily crinkled, use the Carrier Sheet (sold separately).

❏ To scan originals that are incorrectly detected as double feeds, set the DFDS Function to On on the control panel before

you resume scanning or select Oﬀ in Detect Double Feed on the Main Settings tab in Epson Scan 2.

❏ Labels or stickers must be ﬁrmly stuck to the originals with no glue protruding.

❏ Try to ﬂatten the curled originals before scanning.

Speciﬁcations of Originals and Placing Originals

You can reﬁll the originals up to the maximum capacity during scanning.

Placing Standard Size Originals

1. Extend the input tray extension. Slide out the output tray, extend the output tray extension, and then raise the

stopper.

Note:

❏ For A4 size or larger originals, make sure you pull out and extend the input tray extension.

❏ Make sure you pull out and extend the output tray extensions so that they are a little bit longer than the length of the

original, and raise the stopper so that the ejected originals can be stacked comfortably on the output tray.

❏ e stopper can move forward and backward on the output tray extension so that you can easily adjust the stopper

position to the best position for the originals being scanned.

❏ If thick originals bump into the output tray and fall from it, store the output tray and do not use it to stack the

ejected originals.

❏ If scanned images are still aﬀected by ejected originals hitting the surface below the scanner, we recommend placing

the scanner on the edge of a table where the ejected originals can drop freely and you can catch them.

2. Slide the edge guides on the input tray all the way out.

User's Guide

Speciﬁcations of Originals and Placing Originals

3. Fan the originals.

Hold both ends of the originals and fan them a few times.

4. Align the edges of the originals with the printed side facing down and slide the leading edge into a wedge

shape.

5. Load the originals into the input tray facing down with the top edge facing into the ADF.

Slide the originals into the ADF until they meet resistance.

User's Guide

Speciﬁcations of Originals and Placing Originals

6. Slide the edge guides to ﬁt the edge of the originals making sure there are no gaps between the originals and

the edge guides. Otherwise, the originals may be fed skewed.

Note:

❏ When scanning originals with punch holes such as loose leaf paper, load the originals with the holes facing to the side

or facing down. ere must not be any holes within a 30 mm (1.2 inches) strip at the center of the originals.

However, there can be holes within 30 mm (1.2 inches) from the leading edge of the originals. Make sure that the

edges of the punch holes do not have burrs or curls.

❏ When scanning thin paper with crinkles that are causing paper jams or double feeds, you may be able to improve the

situation by enabling Slow. To do this, on the control panel, tap Settings > External Scan Settings > Slow and set it

to On to slow down the feeding speed.

❏ You need to specify the paper size in Epson Scan 2. ere are three ways to specify the paper size in Epson Scan 2, if

the paper length is 3,048 mm (120 inches) or less, you can select Auto Detect (Long Paper) to detect the size

automatically.

If the paper length is more than 3,048 mm (120 inches), you need to select Customize and enter the size of the paper.

If the paper length is 5,461 mm (215 inches) or less, you can use Detect paper length instead of entering the paper

height. If the paper is longer than 5,461 mm (215 inches), you need to enter the width and height of the paper.

❏ Support long paper at the input side so that it does not drop out of the ADF, and on the output side so that the

ejected paper does not fall from the output tray.

Scanning Speed Slows Down when Scanning Continuously

When scanning continuously using the ADF, scanning slows down to prevent the scanner mechanism from

even if the power is oﬀ.

Scanning Takes a Long Time

ports. If you are using a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port with the scanner, make sure it meets the system requirements.

❏ When using security soﬅware, exclude the TWAIN.log ﬁle from monitoring, or set the TWAIN.log as a read-

only ﬁle. For more information on your security soﬅware’s functions, see the help and so on supplied with the
