Epson Scan:
http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/pr24p_/pr24p_rf/know_1.htm
Epson Smart Panel is listed here.
There is a TWAIN Driver v5.71A (Rev.F) Available. You current version should
be fine. Twain-compliant Applications.

(don't fix what ain't broke!)
You can get the latest from Epson for the 2400 Photo.

I believe the examples are of the Epson TWAIN interface. Different modes
show different windows.
You get the TWAIN interface when you scan using the TWAIN interface in any
Photo Editor.
Twain-compliant Applications. (repeated link)
http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/pr24p_/pr24p_rf/know_2.htm
More info on the Next button at the bottom of page.
The product brochure says that PhotoShop Elements is included in the
software bundled with this scanner.
If You do not have a Photo Editor such as Photoshop Elements 2 or 3 you can
download and install the free Irfanview and Plug-ins. You must get the
plug-ins also. They are necessary for Irfanview to do all of its great work.
http://www.irfanview.com
In Irfanview the Scanner interface is found by File>Select Source. Select
the Epson scanner.You only have to do this step once.
Then to scan, File>Acquire/Batch Scanning. The Batch mode can autoname files
for you.
That will open the Epson Scan TWAIN interface in Irfanview.
In Photoshop Elements 2 to open the TWAIN, File>Import then on the fly-out
menu, select the Epson Scanner (do not select WIA).
If you have Photoshop Elements 1 (about 2003) the Menu is a little
different. It is still on the File Menu, You may have a Select TWAIN item,
if so select the Epson scanner. Then File>Import.
