Scanning from TWAIN
This chapter includes:
• Accessing the TWAIN Interface on page 92
• Scanning with the TWAIN Interface on page 93
• The Options in the TWAIN Interface on page 94
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 PaperPort and OmniPage, which were provided with your
scanner, and many other applications, can use the TWAIN interface for scanning.
The TWAIN interface, described in this section, is the one provided with your scanner and you will see it
when scanning from PaperPort or OmniPage. Other TWAIN compliant scanning applications may also
access this interface. 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.
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.
The PaperPort and OmniPage user guides are located on the installation disc you received with the
scanner.
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 on your keyboard or choose
PaperPort help from the Help menu.
