Support Scanners DS Series Epson WorkForce DS-6500

How can I remove dust marks from my originals as I scan them?

  • Using the Dust Removal feature in EPSON Scan, you can virtually "clean" the dust marks from your originals as you scan them.

    Note:
    • Before scanning your originals, carefully remove any dust from your original(s).
    • Do not use Dust Removal to scan originals that do not contain dust or scratch marks; otherwise your scanned image may be distorted or blurred.
    See one of these sections for instruction on removing dusk marks from your original(s).

      • The result of the Dust Removal does not appear in the image(s) in the Preview window.
