Scanning From The Twain Interface; Getting Help With The Paperport Software - Visioneer Patriot 430 User Manual

CANNING FROM THE
In addition to using the scanner buttons or the OneTouch Button Panel
to scan, you can scan from the TWAIN interface. The PaperPort
application that you received with your scanner uses the TWAIN
interface for scanning. This scanning method is particularly helpful
when you're using PaperPort to file and save scanned items, or if you
want to adjust scanning settings prior to scanning.
If your computer is running Windows XP—you can scan using the
■
TWAIN Interface or the Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition
(known as WIA) interface.
If your computer is running Windows 2000—using WIA is not
■
available.
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. This guide shows
how to scan with the PaperPort TWAIN interface, but many other
graphics and imaging applications also comply with the TWAIN
standard, so you can use your scanner with those applications too. To
use your scanner with other TWAIN software, please refer to their user
guides.
Note: If the OneTouch configuration you're using to scan is set to
Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is Twain, the Twain
interface opens right away without opening PaperPort first. See the
section "Configuring Before Scanning" on page 76 for details.
