Network Security Recommendations

To help deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network environment using appropriate security measures.

Security measures such as these can help deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and fax lines, and other intrusions:

- Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall

Connecting your product directly to the Internet may make it vulnerable to security threats. Instead, connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already have a firewall set up by your Internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.

- Change the default administrator password on your product

If your product has an option to set an administrator password, change the default administrator password to deter access by unauthorized users to personal data stored on your product, such as IDs, passwords, and contact lists.

Scan Resolution Guidelines

The resolution setting in your scanning software, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured, but comes with the following disadvantages:

• Larger file sizes - It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans. • The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper. • The maximum length you can scan is reduced.

If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the resolution from the default resolution set by the software. Follow these guidelines to determine the resolution setting you need:

- You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.

Increase the resolution setting in your scanning software. Increase the resolution by the same amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.

- You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.

Select the resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:

  • Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi
  • Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

Scanning is Slow

If scanning becomes slow, try these solutions:

- Scan your original at a lower resolution, if possible.

- Make sure your system meets the requirements for your operating system. If you are scanning a high-resolution image, you may need more than the minimum requirements. If necessary, increase your system's memory or reduce the resolution.

- If scanning becomes slower after scanning continuously with the ADF for a long time, the scanner may have automatically slowed down to protect the scanner mechanism from overheating or becoming damaged. Let the scanner rest with the power on for 30 minutes, then try scanning again.

- Make sure Slow is set to Off on the scanner control panel.

- If you are running virus protection or other security software, exclude the TWAIN.log files from monitoring or set the TWAIN.log files as read only. See your virus protection or security software instructions for details. The TWAIN.log file is saved in C:\Users\ (username)\ AppData\ Local\ Temp.

Note: You may need to unhide system folders to view files in that location.

- If you are scanning over a network, factors such as interference, network traffic, or weak signal strength may affect your scanning speed.

- Computers with USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) or USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) ports can scan faster than those with USB 1.1 ports. If you are using a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port with the scanner, make sure it meets the system requirements.

Important Safety Instructions

Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the scanner:

- Read all these instructions, and follow all warnings and instructions marked on the scanner.

- Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily.

- Do not use with wet hands.

- When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.

- Do not insert objects into any opening as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.

- Place the product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions. If you place the product by the wall, leave at least 3.9 inches (10 cm) between the back of the product and the wall.

- After replacing consumable parts, dispose of them correctly following the rules of your local authority. Do not disassemble them.

- Do not place or store the scanner outdoors, in a car, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, condensation, high temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.

- Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the scanner or a scanner option by yourself except as specifically explained in this guide.

AC Adapter

- Do not place or store the AC adapter outdoors, in a car, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, condensation, high temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.

- Place the scanner and the AC adapter near an electrical outlet where the adapter can be easily unplugged.

- The AC power cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking.

- Do not place objects on top of the AC power cord and do not allow the AC adapter or the power cord to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep the AC power cord straight at the end and the point where it enters the AC adapter.

- Use only the AC adapter that comes with your scanner. Using any other adapter could cause fire, electrical shock, or injury.

- The AC adapter is designed for use with the scanner with which it was included. Do not attempt to use it with other electronic devices unless specified.

- Use only the type of power source indicated on the AC adapter's label, and always supply power directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC adapter that meets the relevant local safety standards.

- Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

- If you use an extension cord with the scanner, make sure the total amperage rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord's amperage rating. Also, make sure the total amperage rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's amperage rating.

- Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter by yourself except as specifically explained in the scanner's guides.

- If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.

- Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: The AC adapter or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the scanner or the AC adapter; the scanner or the AC adapter has been dropped or the case has been damaged; the scanner or the AC adapter does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. (Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.)

  • Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
  • If you are not going to use the scanner for a long period, be sure to unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.

LCD Screen

• The LCD screen may have uneven brightness or a few small bright or dark spots. This is normal and does not indicate damage. • Use only a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers. - If the LCD screen is damaged, contact Epson. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately. - Do not press too hard on the LCD screen or subject it to heavy impacts. - Do not use a pointy or sharp object, such as a pen or your fingernail, to operate the LCD screen. - If the LCD screen cracks, don't touch or attempt to remove the broken pieces; contact Epson for support. - Do not subject your product to sudden changes in temperature or humidity; this may cause condensation to develop inside the LCD screen and degrade its performance.

Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver

1. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS

1.1 Disputes. The terms of this Section 1 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Epson. The term "Dispute" is meant to have the broadest meaning permissible under law and includes any dispute, claim, controversy or action between you and Epson arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Epson branded products (hardware and including any related software), other transaction involving you and Epson, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. "DISPUTE" DOES NOT INCLUDE IP CLAIMS, or more specifically, a claim or cause of action for (a) trademark infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement, (c) copyright infringement or misuse, or (d) trade secret misappropriation (an "IP Claim"). You and Epson also agree, notwithstanding Section 1.6, that court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of action is for an IP claim.

1.2 Binding Arbitration. You and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration according to this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED.

Pursuant to this Agreement, binding arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized arbitration authority, pursuant to its code of procedure then effective for consumer related disputes, but excluding any rule that permits joinder or class actions in arbitration (for more detail on procedure, see Section 1.6 below). You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 1, (b) this Agreement memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section 1 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

1.3 Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you and Epson agree to try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. If Epson and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within the sixty (60) days, you or Epson may commence an arbitration. Notice to Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3840 Kilroy Airport Way, Long Beach, CA 90806 (the "Epson Address"). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent to the most recent address Epson has in its records for you. For this reason, it is important to notify us if your address changes by emailing us at EAILegal@ea.epson.com or writing us at the Epson Address above. Notice of the Dispute shall include the sender's name, address and contact information, the fact giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the "Dispute Notice"). Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, Epson and you agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.

1.4 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court's jurisdiction and pending only in that court.

1.5 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EPSON AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT ALLOWED. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.

1.6 Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by the rules of JAMS in effect when the arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class or representative basis (the "JAMS Rules"), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for an IP Claim, which is excluded from the definition of "Disputes" in Section 1.1 above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court could, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. In some instances, the costs of

arbitration can exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. The arbitrator's award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange County, California, at your option.

a) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decide to arbitrate a dispute, both parties agree to the following procedure: (i) Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the dispute and the amount of damage sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at http://www.jamsadr.com ("Demand for Arbitration"). (ii) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.

(iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party (same address as the Dispute Notice), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.

b) Hearing Format. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Epson is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.

c) Arbitration Fees. Epson shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for all JAMS filing and arbitrator fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or Epson) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

d) Award in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or Epson seeks 75,000 or less in damages exclusive of attorney's fees and costs, if the arbitrator's decision results in an award to you in an amount greater than Epson's last written offer, if any, to settle the Dispute, Epson will: (i) pay you1,000 or the amount of the award, whichever is greater; (ii) pay twice the amount of your reasonable attorney's fees, if any; and (iii) reimburse you for any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration. Except as agreed upon by you and Epson in writing, the arbitrator shall determine the amount of fees, costs, and expenses to be paid by Epson pursuant to this Section 1.6d).

e) Attorney's Fees. Epson will not seek its attorney's fees and expenses for any arbitration commenced involving a dispute under this Agreement. Your right to attorney's fees and expenses under Section 1.6d) above does not limit your right to attorney's fees and expenses under applicable law; notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may not award duplicative awards of attorney's fees and expenses.

1.7 Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this

Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson Address within thirty (30) days of your assent to this Agreement (including without limitation the purchase, download, installation of the Software or other applicable use of Epson Hardware, products and services) that specifies (i) your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceeding specified in this Section 1. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.

1.8 Amendments to Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and Epson agree that if Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson's address) in this Agreement, Epson will obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the applicable amendment, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in accordance with the language of this Section 1 (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section 1.7, if you timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement). 1.9 Severability. If any provision in this Section 1 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions as provided in Section 1.5. This means that if Section 1.5 is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 1 (but only Section 1) shall be null and void.
