Why is my scanner not recognized by the computer?
Check that the USB or FireWire cable is securely connected and the scanner is powered on. Try a different USB port. Confirm the driver is installed correctly. In Device Manager, the scanner should appear under imaging devices. Reinstall the driver if necessary.
How do I scan 35mm film slides with the transparency unit?

What is the maximum optical resolution of this scanner?
The Perfection 2400 Photo has an optical resolution of 2400 x 4800 dpi. This allows high-quality enlargements from photos and film.
Does this scanner work with Windows 10 or macOS Big Sur?
As an older model, official drivers were released up to Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.2. Later systems may not have native drivers. Try using the Windows WIA driver or generic TWAIN driver. For macOS, you may need to use a virtual machine or bootcamp.
How should I clean the scanner glass to avoid scratches?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. Gently wipe the glass to remove dust and smudges. Do not use alcohol, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive materials, as they can damage the glass coating.
What software is included with the Perfection 2400 Photo?

Can I scan documents larger than A4 size?
The flatbed glass area is limited to 216 x 297 mm (A4 / letter size). You cannot scan larger documents directly. For larger items, you would need a different scanner with an extended scanning bed.
How can I reduce dust and scratches when scanning old film?
Handle film with cotton gloves, use a compressed air blower to remove dust, and consider using a film cleaning brush. If available, enable Digital ICE in Epson Scan to automatically detect and repair surface defects.
Is the Perfection 2400 Photo compatible with Mac computers?
Yes, it supports Mac OS 9 and early versions of Mac OS X (up to 10.2). For modern macOS, compatibility is limited; you may need to use a legacy environment or third-party scanner software.
