SCANNING FROM THE TWAIN INTERFACE 81
SCANNING FROM THE TWAIN INTERFACE
You can scan from any TWAIN scanning application instead of
scanning from the OneTouch buttons on your scanner or using the
OneTouch button panel.
A NOTE ABOUT THE TWAIN STANDARD
Your scanner uses the TWAIN interface to scan photographs and
documents. TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use
to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital
devices. The TWAIN scanning interface can be accessed from any
TWAIN scanning application you have installed on the computer.
Applications such as Nuance PaperPort and ArcSoft PhotoImpression,
which were provided with your scanner, and many other applications,
will use the TWAIN interface for scanning. This section specifically
describes how to use the features of the TWAIN interface for scanning,
however, the instructions in this section may use the PaperPort software
as an example only.
Refer to the User Guide you received with your other scanning
application for instructions on setting up that application to access the
TWAIN interface. As previously stated, the scanning method is the
same, but you will need to refer to your product's user guide for
instructions on how to access the scanner and how file handling works.
Instructions for setting up the PaperPort software to access the TWAIN
interface is provided in this User’s Guide.
