Applications designed for macOS that facilitate communication with and operation of scanning devices manufactured by Epson are essential for digitizing documents and images. These applications provide a user interface and the necessary drivers to enable a computer running macOS to control the scanner’s functions, such as resolution settings, scan area selection, and file format output.
The availability of compatible applications ensures users can effectively utilize their scanning hardware for various tasks, including archiving paper documents, creating digital copies of photographs, and facilitating optical character recognition (OCR) for editable text files. Historically, device manufacturers provided specific programs alongside their hardware; however, modern operating systems often include generic drivers that offer basic scanning capabilities. Still, dedicated applications frequently provide enhanced features and superior performance.
