120 VISIONEER STROBE XP SCANNER USER’S GUIDE
SCANNING FROM TWAIN SOFTWARE
In addition to scanning from the on-screen OneTouch panel, you can
scan from the TWAIN software. The PaperPort software is an example
of a TWAIN application. This scanning method is particularly helpful
when you’re using PaperPort to file and save scanned items, or if you
want to adjust scanning settings prior to scanning.
■ If your computer is running Windows XP—you can scan using
either the Visioneer TWAIN Interface or the Microsoft Windows
Image Acquisition (known as WIA).
■ If your computer is running Windows 2000—using WIA is not
available.
A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a
widely recognized standard that computers use to receive images from
scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. This guide shows
how to scan with the PaperPort TWAIN interface, but many other
graphics and imaging applications also comply with the TWAIN
standard, so you can use your scanner with those applications too. To
use your scanner with other TWAIN software, please refer to their user
guides.
Note: If the OneTouch configuration you are using to scan is set to
Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is TWAIN, the
TWAIN interface opens right away without opening PaperPort first.
