Accessing the Scanner Interface
Every scanning application will access the scanner using a different method. Below is a brief list of
common applications and how to initiate a scan from within that application, including some of the
applications which may have been provided with your scanner. Please refer to the application’s user
guide for instructions on using the application and accessing the scanner.
•
Visioneer OneTouch: Open the Visioneer OneTouch properties window and under the configuration
list select
Configure Before Scan. Click on OK to save the changes and close Visioneer OneTouch.
The next time you scan using that button, the scanner interface will open for you to set the scan
options and start scanning.
•
Nuance PaperPort: On the toolbar click on the scanner icon to open the scan pane on the left side
of the PaperPort desktop. Click on the
Select... button to open the scanner selection window. Select
either the TWAIN or WIA driver for your scanner model and then click
OK. If you get a message
that the scanner is not in the PaperPort database, follow the instruction on-screen to run the
Scanner Setup Wizard.
•
Nuance OmniPage: Go to Tools, then select Options.... Click on the Scanner tab, then click on Setup.
Follow the instructions on-screen to setup OmniPage to work with the scanner.
Choosing TWAIN or WIA
A note about your scanner and the TWAIN standard:
TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use to receive images from scanners and
digital cameras. The TWAIN scanning interface can be accessed from any TWAIN scanning application
you have installed on the computer. The driver interface described herein is the TWAIN driver that has
been developed for your scanner. However, there are some applications that have their own TWAIN
interface. If you are scanning from a software application, and see the interface shown in this section,
you can use these instructions to scan with the TWAIN interface. If you do not see this TWAIN
interface, please refer to your scanning application’s user guide for instructions.
A note about your scanner and Microsoft WIA (Windows Image Acquisition):
The WIA platform has been developed to enable image transfer from devices using standard Windows
applications, such as Paint or Windows Fax and Scan, without the need to install additional scanning
software. Microsoft has developed its own interface for using the scanner with the Windows
applications, as well as any other WIA compatible applications you may have installed. However, when
using a WIA 2.0 compatible application, the default behavior will display the TWAIN interface as
described in this document. You can change the driver behavior to show the Windows interface instead
of the custom interface described herein. Please refer to Driver Settings for the Hardware Properties
and Interface Behavior on page 186 for more information.
Please refer to your Windows documentation for WIA scanning instructions if you do not see the
interface described below, or if you have any questions regarding Windows scanning applications.
