Scanning is slow when I scan with Epson ScanSmart. What should I do?

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