Scanning images
Scanning images with your ImageReader scanner is a relatively simple
process. The steps below walk you through selecting the appropriate
TWAIN source to use, and then scanning an image or document. If
you experience problems during any of these steps, please refer to
the appendix, Troubleshooting. You may need to modify the
configuration.
Select the TWAIN source
Before you can scan with your ImageReader, you need to tell the
application what scanner you are using. The scanner is referred to as
the “source,” and you need to select the appropriate source for the
application you are using.
Note: In some cases, an application’s User Guide may direct you to
use the application’s custom “ImageReader” driver. In these cases,
the instructions provided below are inappropriate for that application.
Refer to that application’s user guide for scanning instructions.
1. Start the image editing application software in Windows.
2. Choose Select Source from the File menu.
3. Follow the appropriate instructions for the Windows version you
are running.
Windows 3.1 and 3.11
Select Flatbed Scanner_16
Windows 95 or later
Select either Flatbed Scanner_16 or Flatbed Scanner_32 from the
Source list, depending on what type of application you are
scanning into.
Note: If you are using a 16-bit application, and select Flatbed
Scanner_32 as your source, you may get a TWAIN error and not
be able to scan. Be sure to select the correct source to use with
32-bit applications and 16-bit applications. Refer to Chapter 1,
What is TWAIN for more information.
4. Click OK.
The application is now set to use your ImageReader Express to scan.
