The following steps explain how to scan an item using the Twain button
in the PaperPort software. You can scan many types of paper items, from
small business cards to A4-sized pages. You can also scan transparencies
including 35mm slides and negatives.
To scan an item:
1. Open the scanner cover, place the item face down onto the lower
left edge of the scanner glass, and close the cover.
2. If PaperPort isn’t running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the
Windows Desktop to start it. The PaperPort Desktop appears.
3. Click the Tw ai n icon on the Command Bar, or choose Acquire
from the File menu.
The Visioneer Scan Manager Pro appears.
Note: Your Visioneer OneTouch scanner is initially set to scan from
the PaperPort software for color items. To scan a black-and-white or
greyscale item, select one of the other configurations from the Scan
Manager Pro’s list of configurations. To scan at a higher resolution for
a color image, select Color—Better Quality. However, scanning at a
higher resolution creates a larger file size and takes longer to scan. To
minimize the file size and the time required to get a better quality
scan, select just the area of the item that you want to scan.
Note: You can also scan from other applications that have the Twain
capability. See the user’s guides that you received with those
applications for their specific steps to scan.
