SCANNING WITH THE TWAIN INTERFACE FROM PAPERPORT
In addition to using the Scan button or the OneTouch Panel to scan,
you can scan from the TWAIN interface. The PaperPort application
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 adjust
scanning settings prior to scanning.
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 TWAIN interface from PaperPort. But you can
also open the 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. 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.
GETTING HELP WITH THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE
The PaperPort software includes a complete set of help topics that
answer questions about each feature of the software. To open the Help
Topics window, press the F1 key or choose PaperPort Help from the
Help menu.You can also refer to the PaperPort User’s Guide on the CD.
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.
