This step-by-step guide walks you through how to download and install Epson Event Manager on both Windows and macOS systems.

What Is Epson Event Manager?


Epson Event Manager Utility is designed to handle scan jobs and route them to the correct applications. It's especially useful if your scanner’s hardware buttons (e.g., Scan to PC, Scan to Email) aren't working properly or not recognized by your computer. Installing this software restores those scanning features.

Compatible with most Epson WorkForce, EcoTank, Expression, and Perfection series printers/scanners, Event Manager enhances your scanning experience.

Step 1: Check Your Printer or Scanner Compatibility


Before downloading the software, verify that your Epson device supports Epson Event Manager:
  1. Go to the Epson Support website
  2. Enter your printer/scanner model number (e.g., Epson L3150, Epson WorkForce WF-2850)
  3. On the product page, click on Drivers & Downloads
  4. Look for Event Manager Utility under the “Utilities” or “Software” section
📝 Note: Not all Epson models require or support Event Manager. If it’s listed on your model’s support page, it’s compatible.

Step 2: Download Epson Event Manager


Once you’ve confirmed compatibility, it’s time to download the software:

For Windows:

  1. On the Epson support page, select your operating system version (e.g., Windows 10, Windows 11)
  2. Locate Epson Event Manager Utility
  3. Click Download and save the .exe installer file to your computer

For macOS:

  1. Choose your macOS version from the drop-down menu
