Introduction

LaserSoft®SilverFast™Lite is a TWAIN interface program between your

application software and your EPSON®Expression®800 scanner that lets

you scan images into your software. It is the ideal interface for scanning

photographs on any type of medium: photo paper, positive and negative

transparencies, 35 mm slides and film, even Polaroid®media.

SilverFast Lite does more than transfer images from the scanner—it also

lets you:

◗Preview the image before scanning

◗Adjust the orientation of the image (such as flip it horizontally or

vertically or rotate it)

◗Automatically adjust image exposure

◗Make corrections to the image (such as adjusting brightness, contrast,

and tone quality)

◗Scan multiple frames, multiple images, and even different types of

originals (color, grayscale, and black and white) at one time

◗Quickly scan Polaroid photographs (for Spectra®or 600 size film) to

automatically size the image and adjust the exposure

◗Scan clear newsprint or magazine images with a Descreening filter to

eliminate line screens

If you’re scanning

documents with OCR

(optical character

recognition)

applications, you

should use EPSON

TWAIN Pro instead of

SilverFast Lite for the

best results. See the

electronic

EPSON

TWAIN Pro User’s

Guide

for instructions.
