Scan Resolution Guidelines

The Resolution setting, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your

scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detailed captured but comes with the following

disadvantages:

• Larger file sizes

• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans

• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper

Select a Resolution setting based on how you plan to use the scanned image:

• Email, view on a computer screen, or post on the web: 96 to 150 dpi

• Print, fax, convert to editable text (OCR), or create a text searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

Note: If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, increase the resolution

by the same amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if you

normally scan your image in its original size at 300 dpi but plan to double the image size later, change

the Resolution setting to 600 dpi. If you are scanning long documents, you may not be able to scan

above 300 dpi.

Binding Margins on a Scanned Booklet are Blurry

booklet or scanner.

Ripple Patterns Appear in an Image

You may see a ripple pattern (called a moiré) in scanned images of printed documents. This is caused

by interference from differing pitches in the scanner's screen and your original's halftone screen. To

reduce this effect, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:

• Select the Descreening setting.

• Select a lower Resolution setting.

Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors

Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and

monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use

CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).

Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the

software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.

To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try

scanning again:

• If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale, adjust the Contrast setting.

• If the Image Type setting is Black & White or Grayscale, adjust the Color Enhance setting.

Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver

1. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND

CLASS ARBITRATIONS

1.1 Disputes. The terms of this Section 1 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Epson. The term

"Dispute" is meant to have the broadest meaning permissible under law and includes any dispute, claim,

controversy or action between you and Epson arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Epson

branded products (hardware and including any related software), or other transaction involving you and

Epson, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation,

ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. "DISPUTE" DOES NOT INCLUDE IP CLAIMS, or more

specifically, a claim or cause of action for (a) trademark infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement,

also agree, notwithstanding Section 1.6,that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of

action is for an IP Claim.

1.2 Binding Arbitration. You and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration

according to this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE

OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED.

Pursuant to this Agreement, binding arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized

109

arbitration authority, pursuant to its code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes, but

excluding any rules that permit joinder or class actions in arbitration (for more detail on procedure, see

Section 1.6 below). You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C.

§1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 1, (b) this Agreement

memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section 1 shall survive termination of this

Agreement.

1.3 Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you and Epson agree to

try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. If Epson and you do not reach an agreement to

resolve the Dispute within the sixty (60) days), you or Epson may commence an arbitration. Notice to

Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3840 Kilroy Airport Way,

Long Beach, CA 90806 (the "Epson Address"). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent to the most recent

address Epson has in its records for you. For this reason, it is important to notify us if your address

changes by emailing us at EAILegal@ea.epson.com or writing us at the Epson Address above. Notice of

the Dispute shall include the sender's name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the

Dispute, and the relief requested (the "Dispute Notice"). Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, Epson

and you agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.

1.4 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small

claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court's jurisdiction and is pending only

in that court.

1.5 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EPSON AGREE THAT

EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL

CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR

REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE

CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE

ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING

WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT ALLOWED.

ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN

ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS

WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION

PROCEEDING.

1.6 Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by

the rules of JAMS that are in effect when the arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration

on a class or representative basis (the "JAMS Rules"), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling

1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. All Disputes shall be resolved by a

single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the

selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not

any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising

out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement,

including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad

110

delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or

cause of action is for an IP Claim, which is excluded from the definition of "Disputes" in Section 1.1

above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under

law or in equity. The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court could, and may award

declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent

necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. In some instances, the costs of

arbitration can exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration

than in court. The arbitrator's award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of

competent jurisdiction.

You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by

telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange

County, California, at your option.

a) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decides to arbitrate a Dispute, both parties

agree to the following procedure:

(i) Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount

of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at

http://www.jamsadr.com ("Demand for Arbitration").

(ii) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North

State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.

(iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party (same address as the Dispute

Notice), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.

b) Hearing Format. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed

to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Epson is entitled.

The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during

the arbitration.

c) Arbitration Fees. Epson shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for, all JAMS filings and arbitrator

fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or Epson) pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.

d) Award in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or Epson seeks $75,000 or less in damages exclusive

of attorney's fees and costs, if the arbitrator's decision results in an award to you in an amount greater

than Epson's last written offer, if any, to settle the Dispute, Epson will: (i) pay you $1,000 or the amount

of the award, whichever is greater; (ii) pay you twice the amount of your reasonable attorney's fees, if

any; and (iii) reimburse you for any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney

reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration. Except as

agreed upon by you and Epson in writing, the arbitrator shall determine the amount of fees, costs, and

expenses to be paid by Epson pursuant to this Section 1.6d).

e) Attorney's Fees. Epson will not seek its attorney's fees and expenses for any arbitration commenced

involving a Dispute under this Agreement. Your right to attorney's fees and expenses under Section

111

1.6d) above does not limit your rights to attorney's fees and expenses under applicable law;

notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may not award duplicative awards of attorney's fees and

expenses.

1.7 Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual

arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this

Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson Address within thirty (30) days of your assent

to this Agreement (including without limitation the purchase, download, installation of the

Software or other applicable use of Epson Hardware, products and services) that specifies (i)

your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding

individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in

this Section 1. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all

other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.

1.8 Amendments to Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you

and Epson agree that if Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and

class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson's address) in this Agreement, Epson will

obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the

applicable amendment, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in

accordance with the language of this Section 1 (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section 1.7, if you

timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement).

1.9 Severability. If any provision in this Section 1 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be

severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not

apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions as provided in Section 1.5. This

means that if Section 1.5 is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 1 (but only Section 1)

shall be null and void.

UnZipSFX binary (including SFXWiz) as part of a self-extracting archive; that is permitted without

inclusion of this license, as long as the normal SFX banner has not been removed from the binary or

disabled.

3. Altered versions--including, but not limited to, ports to new operating systems, existing ports with new

graphical interfaces, versions with modified or added functionality, and dynamic, shared, or static library

versions not from Info-ZIP--must be plainly marked as such and must not be misrepresented as being

the original source or, if binaries, compiled from the original source. Such altered versions also must not

be misrepresented as being Info-ZIP releases--including, but not limited to, labeling of the altered

versions with the names "Info-ZIP" (or any variation thereof, including, but not limited to, different

capitalizations), "Pocket UnZip," "WiZ" or "MacZip" without the explicit permission of Info-ZIP. Such

altered versions are further prohibited from misrepresentative use of the Zip-Bugs or Info-ZIP e-mail

addresses or the Info-ZIP URL(s), such as to imply Info-ZIP will provide support for the altered versions.

4. Info-ZIP retains the right to use the names "Info-ZIP," "Zip," "UnZip," "UnZipSFX," "WiZ," "Pocket

UnZip," "Pocket Zip," and "MacZip" for its own source and binary releases.
