Without it, many of the advanced scanning buttons on your Epson machine may not function correctly.

This complete guide walks you through how to download, install, and configure Epson Event Manager Software on both Windows and macOS.


📌 What Is Epson Event Manager Software?


Epson Event Manager is a lightweight utility that runs in the background and listens for scan commands sent from your Epson printer or scanner. It is required to activate scanning features like:
  • Scan to PC
  • Scan to Email
  • Scan to PDF
  • Custom scan workflows
It is especially useful for models that don’t include full scanning functionality in the base driver or if you want to use one-touch scanning directly from the printer’s hardware buttons.
