SCANNING FROM THE TWAIN INTERFACE
In addition to scanning from the OneTouch software, you can scan
from TWAIN software. The PaperPort software that you received with
your scanner uses the TWAIN interface for scanning. This scanning
method is particularly helpful when you’re using PaperPort to file and
save scanned items, or if you want to preview an image and adjust
scanning settings prior to scanning.
A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a
widely recognized procedure that software applications use to receive
images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. The
PaperPort software you received with your scanner uses the TWAIN
standard, and this guide shows how to scan with it. But you can also
open the same TWAIN interface from many other graphics and
imaging applications and scan from them as well. Because the TWAIN
interface is the same regardless of the software you use to open it, you
can still use the instructions in this User’s Guide for scanning with your
Visioneer Strobe XP 220 scanner. To access the TWAIN interface from
other software, please refer to their user’s guides, then return to this
User’s Guide for the steps to scan.
Note: You can also access the TWAIN interface when you’re scanning
from the OneTouch software. If the OneTouch configuration you’re
using to scan is set to Configure Before Scan, and the selected option
is TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away without opening
PaperPort or any other TWAIN-compliant software first. See the
section “Configure Before Scan” on page 95 to select this option.
