After having read that many people has same problems getting the scanner Epson 2480 work, i want to share what i found out.

If youre having problems with the Epson software, drivers or resolution on a flatscreen, keep reading. Might work for you..

Software problems:

I had problems opening the software "Epson Scan", as well as making both Windows XP and Vista accept appearence of the scanner in system.

This simple procedure worked for me on both platforms; probably works in 7 as well:



  • Rightclick ”Epson Scan”-shortcut on desktop
  • Choose “Properties”
  • Choose “Compatability”
  • In “compatability Mode” check the box, and choose “Windows 98 / Windows ME”

Software resolution:
If youre using a flatscreen, change the Epson software screen resolution by following steps 1-3 from above.

Now check the box:
“Disable display scaling on high DPI settings”

Drivers:

You can find updated drivers on Epsons webpage.

Note the Vista driver pacage should include drivers for XP as well.


basic installation of Epson 2480:

For basic install procedure by Epson follow this link:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/s...odoid=46048265

The PDF in the link basically says:

  • Disconnect all antispy- and virus programs
  • Install software from cd
  • Connect Epson 2480

Im not saying this will work for everyone, but did for me.
