Key notes

TheEpson Scan 2has some useful buttons on the print page, like add, scan, or preview. These allow you to make changes before you print or scan your document. However, they seem to be conspicuously missing from the print page.

If you’re in the same predicament, we’ve curated this article to help you resolve this issue.

Why is my Epson printer missing the add option?

If you are trying to print a document from your computer, and the printer is not showing the Add option, then this could be due to any of the following reasons:

Recently upgrade to Win 11 and it generally seems ok. 1 issue though is that the action buttons on epson scan no longer show (preview, scan etc). If you click on the area they should be they still work and then appear- which is great if you know where all the buttons are! It worked perfectly fine the 10 min before i did the upgrade then had this issue immediately after. So far only found the issue on this one app.

What can I do if my Epson scan is missing some buttons?

Attempt the following basic steps before the more complex solutions:

1. Update the Printer drivers

Outbyte Driver Updater

2. Reinstall the Epson Scan 2 software

For the most part, you need to update your software to the latest version, and any missing buttons will reappear.

However, in some cases, if you’re operating an earlier version of Epson, you might need to use the Epson Scan Common Updater for Windows 11 software. Otherwise, keep using theALTkey to view the missing button.

If nothing works, try contacting theEpson support pageand see if they offer more solutions.
