Import picture slides onto your computer.
The Epson 3170 is a stand-alone scanner typically used to import pictures and hard-copy documents into the computer. However, it is possible to scan other content, including large 2x2 photography slides. These are slightly larger than the standard slides used by 35mm cameras. However, this does not change how the slide is scanned into the computer and it only takes a few minutes to import each image onto your system.
Instructions
1. Connect the Epson 3170 to your computer through the provided USB data cable and install all drivers provide with the scanner if you haven't already.
2. Power on the scanner, then open the scanner lid and place the 2x2 slide onto the scanner bed where the green arrow is pointing to the front corner.
3. Launch the image import program you use most often on your computer. If there is none you may use the Windows Scanner and Camera Wizard located under "Applications" on the Start menu.
4. Select "Scan," then "Preview" and a preview of the 2x2 slide appears on the screen. If the slide is upside down or not correctly positioned you may realign the slide now.
5. Choose "Scan" and a high-resolution image is scanned into the computer. Click "File," "Save" and a save window loads onto the screen. Select a location to save the file to, title the image and click "OK" to save the document.
