Using EPSON Smart Panel

Scanning Film and Slides

To open EPSON Smart Panel, press the ] Start button on

your scanner or select EPSON Smart Panel on your desktop.

The top of the Perfection 2580 Photo scanner cover has an

automatic film loader that lets you load 35 mm negatives

without even opening the cover. You can use the slide holder to

scan a 35 mm slide from the scanner glass.

Note: In Windows, if you see a message when you press the ] Start

button, select EPSON Smart Panel, click Always use this program

for this action, then click OK.

Tip: Make sure your negatives or slides are dust-

free for the best scan. You can also select the Dust

Removal setting in EPSON Scan to improve your scan.

Epson Smart Panel opens on your computer.

Before scanning negatives or a slide, lift the scanner cover all the

way up and slide the reflective document mat up and off of the

scanner cover.

Note: Make sure the transparency unit cable is connected to the back

of the scanner.

For details on using EPSON Smart Panel, click the ? button.

3. Flip out the metal film guide and press it down until it

clicks into place.

7. When you finish scanning the film strip, press the Eject

button inside the auto film loader to eject the film. Wait for

the ] Start light to stay on green, then remove the film

strip.

Caution: Before loading a film strip, make sure it contains at

least 2 photos, but no more than 6. Don’t load folded, creased,

curled, or sticky film into the auto film loader or it may damage

the film or your scanner.

Caution: Don’t turn off the scanner with a film strip loaded in the

auto film loader. Never pull film out of the loader by force.

4. Place the film strip in the film loader with the shiny base

side facing down. Your images and any wording on the film

strip should appear backward on the side that faces up.

8. Flip the film guide back inside the auto film loader and

press it down until it clicks into place.

9. Close the auto film loader cover.

10. Replace the document mat before you resume scanning

reflective (paper) documents.

Scanning a Slide

1. Make sure you removed the reflective document mat, as

described in the previous column.

2. Place the slide holder on the top of the scanner glass so that

the tab labelled “D” fits into the area labelled “D” on the

document table.

5. Slowly slide the film into the loader. Let go of the film when

the scanner begins to automatically feed it into position.

6. To scan each frame in your film strip as a separate image,

press the 4 Scan and Save button or open EPSON Smart

Panel and select Scan and Save. This scans each frame

using ideal settings in Full Auto Mode and opens each one

separately in ArcSoft PhotoImpression for viewing, editing,

holder in the scanner cover. Slide the holder into the cover,

then replace the document mat.

for an extended period of time, you need to lock the scanner’s

carriage to prevent damage.

1. Plug in the scanner, connect it to your computer, and wait

until the carriage moves to the home position (position

nearest the buttons). While the ] Start light is green,

unplug the scanner.

2. If the cover cable is attached, disconnect it.
