What is Epson Scan 2 Utility?
Epson Scan 2 Utility is a macOS utility for setting up and managing supported Epson scanners. It is installed with Epson scanner software and is used to connect a Mac to a scanner, especially for network scanning workflows. The utility lets you add and manage scanner connections, enter a scanner’s network address when needed, and adjust certain device settings such as sleep or power-off timing on supported models. Users typically encounter it when configuring a new scanner, reconnecting a scanner after a network change, or troubleshooting communication between the scanner and the Mac. It is a focused companion tool rather than a full document-management app, and it works alongside Epson scanning software used to capture images and documents.
