Click open the icon, and you either use the icons at the top of the menu of you can use the drop down menu. Click on the batch icon, name your document, and scan! It's that easy.

You need to install the Twain driver and unless you use other software then you can use the software that came with the scanner. The driver should have been supplied on a CD or you can download it for the model scanner.

You need to follow the instructions at the site above *exactly* as they're written. What is it you "don't see"? The scanner in your Mac's settings window? The driver on the website above?

Mine came with instructions, I can try to scan it to you, but not sure I can do that here.

There is nothing wrong with the scanner. It is your printer. Set it at a better resolution. Or try wipe the front of cartiage clean.

You can purchase the USB cable from scannermaster.com and then download the software Freescan to program you scanner.

You can't (unless the things you want to scan all fit on the scanner at once). HP might have a document loadder that you could buy as an add on.

You can choose either before scanning. HP even offers an APP to handle the scanning from your PC.

I don't know, I don't use the software. Software comes with the scanner, you might try that first and see how that works for you.

Programing the scanner to specific frequencies is very easy. If you're not into reading manuals, you can go to YouTube, which is what I did, and watch a little kid show you how it's done.

Transfer the scanned docs to your computer and use the computers printer. If you have a printer that will let you read the micro disk, that would work also.

The scanner has a usb plug, and should come with said cable...all you do is hook up the cable to an available usb port on your computer.Install the cd that came with the scanner first...and it does automatic updates.

No - if you haven't bought it don't! I bought one several years ago - it worked for about a month. It was glitchy and cumbersome to use. Brother, who makesthe scanner had little/no support.

Never had to try it, but you would still have to hold down the scan button...there is a way to automatic scan, but we don't use it for our purposes.

I have snow leopard. I think I went to Epson's website and accessed the directions for the scanner. I'm not very tech-savvy, but it wasn't really all that complicated.

I haven't found a way to do it easily, unfortunately. I have just been disconnecting the scanner. I'm using iPhone 5

There's really nothing to this. 1. Plug into USB port. 2. Turn computer on. 3. When the scanner is on, point it at the little sheet of paper that has all the bar codes and Chinese writing on it. 4. Scan the code you want. It will 'program' the device to work with your computer. See my earlier posting on this to see which scan code is right for you. To test: 1. Open notepad or word or text editor. 2. Find a barcode on something. 3. Scan the barcode with the trigger. The numbers of the barcode will type out on the screen. Note: windows XP, 2000, 7 and 8 as well as all flavors of MAC OS X will see this device as a run-of-the-mill input device, and will treat each barcode scanned as if you had typed the numbers on a keyboard and hit enter.
