ADPro 1.0.3 Loader Version 2.2.0
ADPro 2.1.0 Loader Version 3.0.2
To Disk Version 2.2.1
We're Sorry! We added another feature!
The ability to control the EPSON ES-300C in its monochrome mode was added
after the manual went to press. Here's a description of how to use the
monochrome mode from the user interface:
In the fine scan window, select Monochrome scan mode. This will enable the
button controlling which halftoning method the scanner will use. There are
four choices for halftoning method, including no halftoning which will
produce a simple black and white monochrome image. The brightness of
monochrome scans is affected by the setting of the brightness button.

Special 68030/68040 Version
If you own an accelerated machine (a 68030, or 68040 only) and are
experiencing problems with the scanner software through ADPro, please try
the 68030 version of the scanner software. To install this version, double
click on the Install-030 icon. This will install a new loader into ADPro
named EPSON_ES300C_030. If you are still having problems, please contact
Technical Support at (608) 273-6585.

Additional ARexx Programming Information
Because new features have been added to the support of the EPSON ES-300C,
here is updated ARexx programming information which describes how these new
features may be addressed.
If you own ADPro, the scanner can be controlled completely from ARexx.
Choose the loader as you would any other format with the LFORMAT command.
Then, the following syntax may be used to perform a scan:
LOAD "XXX" R X Y W H T S_OPTS C_OPTS
where:
"XXX" Is any name. Recall that all LOAD commands must have a file name.
This argument is required.
R Is any of the standard resolutions (DPI) of the scanner. This is
the resolution at which the scan will occur. This argument is
required.
X Is the X offset. This specifies the left edge of the area to be
scanned. See below for how this field can be specified. This
argument is required.
Y Is the Y offset. This specifies the top edge of the area to be
scanned. See below for how this field can be specified. This
argument is required.
W Is the width. This specifies the width of the area to be scanned.
See below for how this field can be specified. This argument is
required.
H Is the height. This specifies the height of the area to be
scanned. See below for how this field can be specified. This
argument is required.
T Is the type. This must be one of ``COLOR'', ``GRAY'', or ``MONO''.
This argument is required.
S_OPTS S_OPTS are scanner dependent options which give you control over
special features which this scanner might provide. For this
scanner, the following may be specified:
-- If COLOR is specified as the scan type, then one of ``CRT'',
``DMP'', ``TTP'', or ``IJP'' must be specified. These correspond
to the color correction types appropriate for CRT display, dot
matrix printer, thermal transfer printer, or ink jet printer
respectively.
These color correction types are implemented by the scanner itself.
-- If MONO is specified as the scan type, then one of ``NONE'',
``HARD'', ``SOFT'', or ``NETSCREEN'' must be specified. These
correspond to the different types of monochrome halftoning that the
scanner is capable of using.
-- A keyword of ``BRIGHTNESS'' may be specified. If so, it must be
followed by an integer value between -3 and 3 inclusive. Remember
that negative numbers need to be quoted in ARexx. This number
will set the scanner's brightness control to one of its 7 preset
values.
-- A keyword of ``GAMMA'' may be specified. If it is, it must be
followed by one of the following: ``CRTA'', ``CRTB'',
``PRTINTERA'', ``PRTINTERB'', or ``PRTINTERC''. This argument pair
sets the scanners own internal gamma correction capability.
C_OPTS Are composition options. See the ADPro manual for more
information. These arguments are optional.
The X and Y offsets and the width and height are real world measures. They
can be specified in any of the following ways:
[number]
[number]in
[number]cm
[number]px
Where [number] represents a fractional number like 1.3 or 2.5. In the
first form, the default unit of measure is inches. If ``in'' immediately
follows the number, then the unit of measure is also inches. Similarly,
``cm'' means centimeters, and ``px'' means pixels.
For example, the following two commands will scan exactly the same area:
LOAD "XXX" 100 100px 100px 200px 200px "COLOR" "CRT"
LOAD "XXX" 100 1in 1in 2in 2in "COLOR" "CRT"
