DocuMate 742 Scanning from TWAIN
Scanning from TWAIN
You can scan from any TWAIN scanning application instead of scanning from the One Touch
buttons on your scanner or the One Touch button panel.
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. The TWAIN scanning interface can be accessed from any TWAIN scanning application
you have installed on the computer. Applications such as Nuance OmniPage, which was
provided with your scanner, and many other applications, can use the TWAIN interface for
scanning. Because the TWAIN interface is often 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
DocuMate 742. 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 access the TWAIN interface when you’re scanning from the One Touch
software. If the One Touch configuration you are using is set to Configure Before Scan, and the
selected option is TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away when pressing the button on
your scanner without opening any other TWAIN-compliant software first. See the section
“Configure Before Scan” on page 14 for details.
The OmniPage user guide is located on the installation disc you received with the scanner.
The OmniPage 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 on your
keyboard or choose OmniPage help from the Help menu.
