Scanning photos on Epson WF 2650

    My Epson WF2650 scans documents perfectly but when I try to scan photos, they appear as if in the middle of an A4 sheet of paper and are always too dark. I am sure it is something to do with the settings but I'm pretty clueless on these things unless they are straightforward. Any simple advice for a dummy?



    I know I could get them scanned professionally etc but the current task doesn't require that - just some 'snapshots' that I want to scan.Thanks

    You're not following the correct procedure so.

    Preview
    Draw box around item you want (photo)
    Scan

    Windows Key + R, enter WIAACMGR and hit return.

    are you using epson software to scan or importing in a different app?

    Thanks but my previous scanner used to give me an obvious Preview option but the Epson doesn't - I can't see a preview option.
    Yes, I'm using Epson software.

    I have an Epson Scanner. If I change it back to Home Mode it looks like this.

    Circled is the Preview Button. When the area you require is selected you press Scan.
