Easy Scan
Scanning by a single touch. After the user taps this action, the page is immediately scanned to a predefined destination. You can define multiple destinations where the scanned document is sent to and set scan parameters in MyQ.
For information on how to configure the Easy Scan action and define its destinations and parameters, check Easy Scan settings in the MyQ Print Server guide.
If enabled on the server, users can change their scan settings from the terminal screen.
You can also create new custom parameters to be used in the scan metadata, or as parts of file names, addresses, subjects and email bodies, and as paths to folders, passwords to folders etc. You can find further details in Create custom parameters on the MyQ Print Server guide.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) can be used with Easy Scan, by creating OCR profiles and enabling users to select them on the embedded terminal. You can find further details in OCR on the MyQ Print Server guide.

Continuous Scan via ADF has to be supported by the device firmware. It is not possible to combine Continuous Scan via ADF and via glass.
Scan cancellation - If a single-page file format, such as jpeg, tiff, single PDF, etc., is selected, then scanned pages will be sent and will be recorded in the job_log. If multi-page file format is selected, all including scanned pages are canceled (Information obtained from Epson support).
ADF scan - If a scan is canceled by tapping the cancel button or if a user logs out, the MFP sends scanned documents up to that point. The MFP does not discard the scanned documents. A notification about the scanned job contains no information regarding the number of scanned pages.
The default A4 paper orientation (= not rotated paper = iso_a4_210x297mm) is landscape (= insert short edge to ADF) on all models regardless of the printed infographics on the ADF.
