Scanning Images into Other Applications
Nikon Scan can be used as a “stand-alone” application for scanning images and saving them to disk as
described above. It can also be used to scan images directly into any application that supports TWAIN
(Windows) or Adobe Photoshop 5.0 acquire plug-ins (Mac OS 9 or earlier). Nikon Scan can not be used to
scan images into third-party applications in Mac OS X.
Windows
Select Nikon Scan from the application’s list of “Acquire” or “Import” sources.
Mac OS 9 or Earlier
Before starting the application, make sure that the Nikon Scan 3 plug-in (Nikon Scan Plugin 3.1) has been
copied into the Import/Export folder in the application’s plug-in folder. You can then scan images into the
application by selecting Nikon Scan from the application’s list of “Acquire” or “Import” sources.
For more information, see the documentation for the application in question.
Mac OS 9 or Earlier
Open the Nikon Software folder in the location to
which you installed Nikon Scan (the default location
is the root directory of the startup disk) and double-
click the Nikon Scan 3.1 icon.
Mac OS X
Open the folder Applications : Nikon Software :
Nikon Scan 3 on the startup disk and double-
click the Nikon Scan 3 icon.
