TWAIN

The TWAIN scan engine allows you to capture images from a scanner using TWAIN drivers. The TWAIN driver appropriate for the given scanner must be installed on your machine to use this scan source. This driver will be provided by your scanner's manufacturer if the scanner supports TWAIN.

For any given scanner, TWAIN is usually slower than ISIS, so if speed is a concern and ISIS is available, you may prefer to use ISIS/ScanConnect.

To select and configure TWAIN

1. From the Scan menu, select Choose Scan Source.
2. In the Scan Sources dialog box, choose TWAIN from the drop-down menu. Select Show scan source setup and click OK.

   

3. Choose a scanner from the Scanner Setup dialog box. If your scanner is not listed, install the scanner's TWAIN driver. Click OK.

   

4. To configure additional settings, select Scanning Device Settings or Additional Scanning Device Settings from the Scan menu. The settings available will depend on your particular scanner.
