Scanning with the TWAIN Interface
The Basic Steps to Open the TWAIN Interface
Each TWAIN-compliant software application has its own specific
steps to open the TWAIN interface, but the basic process is the
same for most of them.
To scan with the TWAIN Interface:
1. Open an application that is TWAIN-compliant.
Applications that are TWAIN-compliant include Microsoft
PowerPoint and Microsoft Word, and many other graphics
applications and word processing applications.
2. Use the application’s command that opens the TWAIN
interface.
For example, in Microsoft PowerPoint, from the Insert menu,
choose Picture then choose From Scanner or Camera. Click
the drop-down menu and choose Xerox DocuMate 752. Then
click Custom Insert. Note that your scanner may be listed
twice. One listing is for choosing TWAIN Interface, the other is
usually for choosing the WIA Interface. See “Scanning with the
WIA Interface” on page 98 to scan from WIA.
Other applications have steps similar to PowerPoint’s.
3. The TWAIN Interface will open. If you’ve already scanned using
TWAIN, the interface that opens is the one you used previously
to scan.
Please refer to an application’s user guide for the appropriate steps
to open the TWAIN Interface for your scanner.
