Using This Manual To get the most out of this manual, you should follow the steps below: To understand EPSON scanners Read through the overview once, and then read the Command Usage section in depth. To write a scanner control program Read through the overview once, then read the Command Usage section.
4 Introduction.
Chapter 1 Overview This chapter provides a brief description of scanner operations and concepts. The special features of EPSON brand scanners are also outlined in this chapter.
What Is a Scanner A scanner is a device that performs the following functions: ❏ Reflects light off your documents ❏ Separates the light by color and intensity ❏ Converts that reflected light to.
Main scan The horizontal scanning direction Sub scan The vertical scanning direction By combining the main scan and sub scan data, an entire page can be converted into organized digital data.
Reading color By illuminating the document with three lights, red (R), green (G), and blue (B), the scanner can analyze and separate a document’s three color components. The computer can then overlay this color-separated data to produce full-color images.
EPSON Scanner Features EPSON scanners feature the following special attributes. ❏ A unified control code structure All scanner features are controlled by EPSON’s ESC/I scanner control codes, so the commands for each feature are the same for all scanner models.
❏ Optional automatic document feeder An automatic document feeder can be mounted on the GT-8000 (ES-800C), GT-6500 (ES-600C), GT-8500 (ES-1000C), or GT-9000 (ES-1200C) scanner models, allowing you to automatically load and scan multiple documents.
Control Code Construction Function level The EPSON image scanner control language currently has the following function levels: B1 to B5 and A5. The relationship of each level is shown in the following diagram. Each level contains the commands and features of all lower levels.
Computers and Handshaking Scanners are connected to their host computers by some kind of interface. Since a scanner sends data to the computer, the interface must carry data not only from the computer to the scanner, but also from the scanner to the computer.
Image Data The manner in which an image is converted into data and the way the data is sent to the computer is predetermined. The following sections describe this process. Image data format The smallest element of image data is called a pixel (short for picture element).
As you increase the amount of data, you dramatically increase the number of minute differences in color you can represent. Bits per pixel Monochrome shades Colors 1 bit/color/pixel 2 8 2 bits/color/pi.
Line data transfer The scanner reads one horizontal line of data (main scan) and sends it to the computer. After the computer confirms it has received the data, the scanner sends the next line of data. The scanner repeats theses steps until data for the entire image is sent to the computer.
Block data transfer Line data transfer sends the data to the computer line by line. However, block data transfer sends multiple lines of data to the computer all at once. You can use commands to specify the number of lines sent at one time; in this way you can select the most efficient block size to send your data.
Functions EPSON scanners feature a number of various functions. A brief overview of these functions is provided below. For more detailed explanations, see the following chapter on using these functions, as well as the command reference section. Image definition Brightness This function allows you to set the brightness at which images are scanned.
Gamma correction Gamma correction is a function that adjusts the light intensity so it matches the output device. Although an image may display clearly on your CRT display, your printer may not produce it the same way. Since image reproduction depends on the output device (CRT, printer, etc.
Halftoning Halftoning adjusts the shade and color of each pixel according to the shade and color of the surrounding pixels. Setting halftoning to large results in a sharper contrast between dots. Setting halftoning to small results in reduced contrast.
Data form definition Data format The data format function determines how many bits are used to represent one pixel. Increasing the bits increases the number of shades and intensity that can be expressed. However, the data required to represent an image is also increased.
Resolution The resolution determines how detailed a scan is. The resolution is normally defined as the number of dots scanned per inch. The units of resolution are dots per inch. You can also think of it as the density of pixels in the image. The greater the resolution, the greater the image detail you can scan.
Zoom The zoom function causes an image scanned at the same resolution as the output device to be output at a greater size than the original. The zoom function can be set independently from the resolution setting.
Scanning area The maximum scannable area for each scanner is determined by the physical dimensions of the document table. You can also use commands to tell the scanner to scan only a certain portion of your document. You set the scanning area in units of pixels.
Color setting Setting the color determines the method used for scanning. If you select monochrome scanning, you can specify either red (R), green (G), or blue (B) as the dropout color. The scanner then ignores the specified dropout color when scanning a document.
Image processing Halftoning For documents with many shade gradations (like a photograph) in full-color mode (24-bit data), you can faithfully reproduce the image on a full-color output device.
Halftone mode C None Dither mode A Dither mode B Dither mode C Dither mode D 1-22 Overview.
Color correction Colors expressed on different types of color output devices vary slightly depending on each device’s characteristics. The color correction feature allows you to adjust colors on output devices to more closely approximate your original document.
Scanning multiple shade documents for bi-level output devices capable of black and white only When you scan multiple shade documents and output them to devices capable of expressing only black and white, use the following feature settings for best results.
Chapter 2 Command Usage 2 Command Usage 2-1.
Execution Commands Execution commands tell the scanner to send back data to the computer. Use execution commands to begin image data transfer from the scanner to the computer, to obtain the scanner ID and status, and to obtain information on the current scanner settings.
2. Request ID (ESC I) When the scanner receives this command, it relays the scanner ID information to the computer in the following order. Scanner command level Available resolution values Maximum sca.
5. Request condition (ESC S) This command causes the scanner to send a data block to the computer that contains the current values of the settings for all the scanner’s features. The features available are different for each scanner model. Following is a sample of a B4-level data block sent when the scanner receives this command.
Data Form Commands Data form commands regulate the amount of image data sent to the computer (as determined by the setting for scanning color, resolution, tone, and zoom). 1. Set Color Mode (ESC C) This command sets either color or monochrome scanning.
For example, if you specify 8 bits per pixel for each color, the scanner produces 8 bits of data per pixel per color. This requires eight times the data necessary to represent 1 bit/pixel/color.
3. Set Resolution (ESC R) You can set different values for the resolution for the main scan (horizontal direction) and the sub scan (vertical direction). You can find the resolutions available by reading the scanner’s user’s manual or, from within a program, sending the ID Request command.
Set zoom and other commands. The combination of this command and the ESC R (Set resolution) command determine the maximum number of dots you can scan. You can calculate the number of dots by multiplying the zoom percent by the original dot setting. 5.
Image Setting Commands Image setting commands are commands that tell the scanner what kinds of image processing to perform on the image data. Brightness settings and gamma correction (adjusting for input and output brightness) settings are examples. 1.
2. Set gamma correction (ESC Z) This command adjusts the scanned data according to the type of output device you plan to use. The gamma correction setting is independent of any other scanner settings.
CRT Display B This setting is suitable for 256-color displays and other displays that are capable of showing multiple color levels. On these types of displays, scanned data appears dark and grainy. CRT Display B gamma correction processes the image data to appear more continuous, improving its display appearance.
3. Download gamma table (ESC z) Using this command, you can select the table used for gamma correction. You can specify the type of output adjustment produced for each of the 256 available color tones. For example, to achieve the following type of image correction, you can set the values determined by the equation below.
Image Processing Commands Image processing commands are used to modify scanned data before sending it to the computer. Two commands are available: halftone processing and color correction. 1. Set halftoning mode (ESC B) Th is c o mm and enab l es or d i sab l es ha lft one p r ocess i ng f o r b i-l eve l da t a a nd quad -l eve l d a t a .
❏ Dither mode B Processes data using a 4 × 4 spiral pattern ❏ Dither mode C Processes data using a 4 × 4 screen pattern ❏ Dither mode D Processes data using a 8 × 4 screen pattern ❏ User-de.
ESC B and other commands The scanner ignores the image processing you select with the ESC B command if you have already selected 3 bits/color/pixel or higher with the ESC D command. 2. Download dither pattern (ESC b) This command defines the dither pattern that is selected when you use ESC B to select user-defined dither patterns A and B.
To determine the data for a typical spiral dither pattern like the one shown in figure a, multiply the threshold value by 16 and add 8; the results are the values shown in figure b.
❏ CRT displays Use for color CRT displays ❏ User defined setting Use for your customized output. ❏ No color correction ESC M and other commands The ESC M command is effective only after you select color line scanning or byte scanning with the ESC C command.
Auxiliary Commands Auxiliary commands are provided for physical operation of the scanner. These commands include the reset command and option operation commands. 1. Initialize the scanner (ESC @) This command returns all scanner settings to their original values (the values when the scanner is first turned on).
3. Set the line counter (ESC d) Sending this command causes the scanner to send data in block format. If you don’t send this command at the beginning of each job, the scanner defaults to line mode and sends data after each line is scanned. You can set the parameter in this command from 1 to 255 lines.
4. Control option (ESC e) This command is effective only when an option has been installed on the scanner. If you send these commands when no option is installed, the scanner returns a NAK signal and a command error results. You can check if an option is installed by either using the ESC f command or by checking the option flag in the status byte.
2. Abort scanning (CAN) Usually you send an ESC G command to start scanning and, after the scanner sends a data block, the computer responds with an ACK code to confirm the data was received. If the computer sends a CAN code instead of the ACK code, the scanner cancels scanning and stops sending data.
Command Order By using the Request ID (ESC I) command, you can determine the scanner model. This allows you to create software that sends only the commands featured on that particular model. Always check the scanner ID before making settings with software commands.
3. Maximum scannable area This value is expressed in units of dots (main scan × sub scan), based on the maximum scannable area available when the scanner is set to the highest available resolution and zoom is set to 100%. Control flow Using the ID information, you should send commands to the scanner in the following order.
Recommended command order Send commands in the following order to control the scanner properly. Make sure to send the ESC R, ESC H, ESC A, and ESC G commands in the following order.
5. Following the order on the previous page, send the command to set the scanning area and send any other commands necessary to prepare for scanning. For details on these commands, see Chapter 3. 6. Send the ESC f command. Check if the option is enabled and make sure no error has occurred.
Data Block Transfer Order The computer sends commands and parameters to the scanner in 8-bit code format. The scanner sends data to the computer in groups of 8-bit codes called ‘‘ blocks. ’’ Data block structure Data blocks can take two forms: line data structure and block data structure.
Block data structure Block data consists of a 6-byte information block followed by n lines of image data ( n is the value of the line counter in the information block). You specify block data transfer with the ESC d (set line counter) command. By sending multiple lines of data at once, you can shorten the total data transfer time.
Status byte This byte indicates the color of the image data or the state of the scanner. Each bit in the Status byte has a different meaning, as shown in the following diagram. Currently, bits 0, 1, and 6 are reserved (not used). Error flag (bit 7) This flag is set to ‘‘ 1 ’’ when an error other than a command error occurs.
Scanning color (bits 2 and 3) These bits indicate the scanning color. When monochrome is selected, these bits indicate the dropout color (if a dropout color is selected). Byte counter The byte counter indicates the number of data bytes contained in each data line.
Data This is the data block following the information block. The type of data in the data block depends on the type of information requested by the computer.
The scanner function level The available resolutions The maximum scannable area The basic format of this data is as follows: The first two bytes show the scanner function level, in ASCII character format. The scanner function level tells you which commands are supported by the attached scanner.
Scanner state data This is the data sent in response to the ESC S (Request condition) command. The example below is for a B4-level scanner. The first two bytes are the ESC C (Set color) command’s parameters. The next 5 bytes are the ESC R (Set scanning resolution) command’s parameters.
Image data Monochrome, color line, and color byte scanning Use when sending monochrome and color line scanning data or color byte scanning data. This includes monochrome scanning when a dropout color is selected.
Color page scanning Use when sending color page data. 2-34 Command Usage.
Single data blocks Use when you expect single data blocks in response to the ESC I (Request ID) command, the ESC S (Request condition) command, the ESC F (Request status) command, and the ESC f (Request extended status) command.
Resolution, zoom, and maximum scannable area The ID information provides you the following values. R MAX (in dpi) : The maximum scannable area available X MAX (in dots) : The maximum main scan value (.
The main scan reading length ( n 3 ) must always be set in exact multiples of eight (8-dot units equal units of 1 byte). The main scan skip length ( n 1 ), sub scan skip length ( n 2 ), and sub scan reading length ( n 4 ) can be set in 1-dot increments.
Setting the scanning area Use the ESC R, ESC H, and ESC A commands to set the scanning area. The diagram below shows the relationship between the ESC R, ESC H, and ESC A command parameters and the scanning area.
n 1 = INT L X 1 × R X × H X 100 n 2 = INT L Y 1 × R Y × H Y 100 n 3 = 8 × INT L X 2 × R X × H X 100 × 1 8 n 4 = INT L Y 2 × R Y × H Y 100 n 1 .
Image trimming (1) This section explains how to trim a rough image, and how to use the ESC R, ESC H, and ESC A commands to rescan at the same resolution and zoom values. This is useful when you want to check the image from within your software and then reset the scanning area for the next scan.
Determining setting values after trimming After trimming an image, you should resend the ESC A command using the following parameters. N 1 = INT n 1 × R X 2 × H X 2 R X 1 × H X 1 .
Image trimming (2) This section explains how to use the ESC R, ESC H, and ESC A commands to print a trimmed image on your printer. Rough scanned image Printing size after trimming R X1 : Main scan res.
Determining the setting values for printing Based on the size of the image you plan to print and on the resolution of the printer, use the following formulas to determine the final scanning settings.
Error Processing EPSON scanners have four types of potential errors: command errors, communications errors, system errors, and option errors. An option error can occur only with scanner models on which the optional Automatic Document Feeder or Transparency Unit can be installed.
The communications (interface) settings are incorrect. Scanner’s response: The lamps turn off and the scanner stops moving. The scanner stops accepting commands. Error recovery procedure: After correcting the communications problem, perform one of the following.
Bit 7 (error flag) of the status byte is set to ‘‘ 1. ’’ The appropriate bit in the extended status byte is set. The scanner only accepts these commands: ESC F, ESC f, and ESC @. Error recovery procedure: After correcting the cause of the problem, perform one of the following.
Function Level and Commands Each function level builds on the previous level, so all commands and parameters in previous levels are included in higher levels. Extended commands are available regardless of function level. Using the function level Higher function levels include all the commands of lower function levels.
Commands and function level table The following table shows which commands are available at each function level. Command type Command name Command Function Level Execution commands Request ID ESC I B1.
Function level and commands The commands added at each function level are listed in the table below. Function level Command B1 ESC G (Start scanning) ESC I (Request ID) ESC F (Request status) ESC S (R.
Items not affected by function level Although higher command levels include all the previous commands of lower command levels, the parameters for commands used to set the scanning area (ESC R, ESC H, ESC A) are independent of function level.
Typical Programming Errors and Solutions This section lists several concrete examples of programming errors, their causes, and sample solutions to these problems. Problem: The scanner does not scan correctly when a scanner with a different maximum scannable area is connected.
Problem: When connecting a different scanner model in your SCSI daisy chain, an error message such as the following appears; ‘‘ The EPSON scanner is not connected. ’’ Cause When you sent the SCSI inquiry command, the computer checked the scanner’s model name in the Vendor Unique Parameter.
Problem: After connecting a scanner with a higher function level than the previous scanner, the new scanner does not operate properly. Cause Although you used the ESC I command to obtain the function level information, your program was set up to work only when the function level was the same as the previous scanner.
Problem: The scanner scans properly when you use a bi-directional parallel interface, but when you switch to SCSI, the scanner no longer operates properly. Cause During block data transfer mode, your program does not read the entire block at one time, but performs multiple read commands for each data block.
Problem: When connecting a different scanner model, a time-out occurs on your computer and you can no longer scan. Cause The time required for the initialization process and for the preparation time when you send an ESC G command differs by scanner model.
General ❏ Always reset the scanner at the beginning and end of your programs ❏ Use the ESC @ command to reset the scanner. This allows you to use the same program with different interfaces. ❏ The time required for resetting differs by scanner model.

ESC S Request condition Format: B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 A5 Command: ASCII: ESC S Decimal: 27 83 Hexadecimal: 1B 53 Parameter: (none) Handshaking: 1 ESC S command 2 Data block Explanation: This command asks the scanner to send back a data block that contains the current parameter values set in the scanner.
ESC G Start scanning Format: B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 Command: ASCII: ESC G Decimal: 27 71 Hexadecimal: 1B 47 Parameter: (none) Handshaking: The handshaking procedures are different for the monochrome mode, color page sequence mode, color line sequence, and color byte sequence mode.
The color image data is sent as a set of three primary color pages. 1 ESC G command 2 Data block (image data for one block) 3 ACK code 4 Last data block (last line of each color page) ❏ Steps 2 and 3 should be repeated for the number of lines (minus 1) specified for each color page of green, red, and blue until the last data block is encountered.
❏ Steps 2 and 3 should be repeated for the three colors for the number of lines (minus 1) specified for the image until the last data block is encountered.
Explanation: When this command is received, the scanner starts a scanning operation (image reading) for the specified reading area, and sends the image data to the host computer as data blocks. Image data of one line (one main scan of data) is sent as a data block, and a data block is sent for each sub scan reading length.
1 ESC G command 2 Data block (image data for one block) 3 ACK code (acceptance of the data block) 4 CAN code (abort scanning) 5 ACK code Sending the CAN code does not reset the parameter settings in the scanner, unless the ESC @ (initialize the scanner) command is sent, or the scanner is turned off and back on.
Data Form Definition Commands ESC C Set color mode Format: B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 A5 Command: ASCII: ESC C Decimal: 27 67 Hexadecimal: 1B 43 Parameter: i Handshaking: 1 ESC C command 2 ACK code 3 Parameter (i.
Parameter range: i=00 H (0): Monochrome scanning (standard), no dropout color specified B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 A5 i=10 H (16): Monochrome scanning, dropout color is Red B2 B3 B4 B5 i=20 H (32): Monochrome sca.
Explanation: This command specifies the reading color (color or monochrome), the page, line, or byte sequence mode in color reading, and the dropout color in monochrome reading.
❏ Dropout colors (monochrome reading only) The dropout color is the color that is treated as white, and is not read during the scanning operation. On a color scanner a dropout color can be chosen from among green, red, or blue. Dropout color can be used to avoid reading a certain color of the document.
ESC D Set data format Format: B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 A5 Command: ASCII: ESC D Decimal: 27 68 Hexadecimal: 1B 44 Parameter: i Handshaking: 1 ESC D command 2 ACK code 3 Parameter (i) 4 ACK code Parameter range:.
In the color scanning mode, the data format setting defines tones for each of the three primary colors, green, red, and blue. Data format Monochrome Color 1 bit/pixel/color 2 grays 8 colors 2 bit/pixe.
❏ Upper bits beginning with the MSB are valid. Lower bits not in use are fixed to 0. 3-24 Command Reference.
ESC R Set resolution Format: B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 A5 Command: ASCII: ESC R Decimal: 27 82 Hexadecimal: 1B 52 Parameter: n1 L n1 H n2 L n2 H Handshaking: 1 ESC R command 2 ACK code 3 Parameter (n1, n2) 4 ACK.
Explanation: This command sets the reading resolution of the main scan and sub scan. n1 = Main scan resolution setting in dpi n2 = Sub scan resolution setting in dpi The settings available on each scanner model are listed in Appendix B.
ESC H Set zoom Format: B2 B3 B4 B5 A5 Command: ASCII: ESC H Decimal: 27 72 Hexadecimal: 1B 48 Parameter: i1 i2 Handshaking: 1 ESC H command 2 ACK code 3 Parameter (i1, i2) 4 ACK code Parameter range: .
Explanation: This command specifies the zoom values for the main scan (i1) and the sub scan (i2) in the range of 50% to 200%. The zoom value increment is 1% or 10%, depending on the scanner model. See Appendix B for details. When the zoom is set with the control panel, the zoom value of the main scan and sub scan are equal.
ESC A Set scanning area Format: B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 A5 Command: ASCII: ESC A Decimal: 27 65 Hexadecimal: 1B 41 Parameters: n1 L , n1 H , n2 L , n2 H , n3 L , n3 H , n4 L , n4 H Handshaking: 1 ESC A command.
Default value: Varies according to scanner model. See Appendix B for details. Explanation: This command specifies the scanning area as a rectangle measured from the origin, with lengths for the main scan and sub scan. The setting is made in units of dots (pixels).
The offset and scanning lengths (n1 to n4) should be integer values within the available range of the main scan length and sub scan length. The maximum main scan and sub scan lengths are determined by the current resolution and zoom settings, and the parameter range for the ESC A parameter falls within the values shown below.
The physical distance of the offset lengths and scanning lengths depends on the current dpi and zoom settings. For example, when the main scan and sub scan lengths are set to 400 dots and 640 dots respectively (at 100 dpi and 100%), the physical lengths are 4 inches (10.

ESC K Set data order Format: B5 A5 Command: ASCII: ESC K Decimal: 27 75 Hexadecimal: 1B 4B Parameters: i Handshaking: 1 ESC K command 2 ACK code 3 Parameter (i) 4 ACK code Parameter range: i = 00 H (0.
Explanation: This command selects the order of image data. The position of the origin is not affected by the order. Command Reference 3-35.
Image Definition Commands ESC L Set brightness Format: B2 B3 B4 B5 A5 Command: ASCII: ESC L Decimal: 27 76 Hexadecimal: 1B 4C Parameter: i Handshaking: 1 ESC L command 2 ACK code 3 Parameter (i) 4 ACK.
Parameter range: Default value: i = 00 H (center) Command Reference 3-37.
Explanation: This command sets the brightness level of the scanned image data. Seven values for i are available: 00 H , 01 H , 02 H , 03 H , FF H , FE H, and FD H . The graph below shows the differences between the brightness settings when gamma correction is set for the CRT Display A setting.
ESC Z Set gamma correction Format: B2 B3 B4 B5 A5 Command: ASCII: ESC Z Decimal: 27 90 Hexadecimal: 1B 5A Parameter: i Handshaking: 1 ESC Z command 2 ACK code 3 Parameter (i) 4 ACK code Parameter rang.
Explanation: This command specifies the gamma correction setting for the output device. The gamma correction refers to the gamma correction table stored in the scanner’s internal memory, and adjusts the conversion ratio between the input intensity of the original image and the output image data values.
Printer Output A (High density printers) This setting is appropriate for printing on high density printers, such as 24-dot printers and laser printers. Since high density printing increases the darker components of the image, this setting compensates by producing data that is lighter than that used by a CRT display.
