Scanning via TWAIN Interface

The TWAIN program is a very important piece of software that comes with your
scanner. This program acts as an interface between the scanner hardware and the
image-editing software you are using to view and edit images. The TWAIN program
allows you to adjust a number of settings to define the quality of the scanned image.
The following describes how you may use our bundled business card recognition
software (NewSoft Presto! BizCard) to scan via TWAIN interface. When you get
familiar with the scanning, you may alternatively use other TWAIN compatible scanning
program or image-editing application to do your scanning projects.
Select the Scan Source:
If you have more than one scanner or other imaging devices installed on your
computer, you need to set this scanner as the default scanning source before you
acquire TWAIN program.
1. For Presto! BizCard: From the File menu, click Select Scanner.

set this scanner as the default scanning source.
