Scanning from PaperPort
Instead of using a scanner button, you can scan directly from the
PaperPort software. This is particularly helpful when you are using
PaperPort to file and save your scanned items.
Your scanner uses the TWAIN standard for scanning. TWAIN is a
widely recognized procedure that computers use to receive images
from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. The
PaperPort software application that you received with your scanner
uses the TWAIN standard, and this guide shows how to scan with
it. 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-compliant
software, please refer to their user guides.
Instead of using the TWAIN standard, your scanner can also use
Microsoft's Windows Image Application (WIA) standard for
scanning, which is also available from other applications.
Therefore, you can use your scanner with other applications on a
computer running Windows ME or XP too. See "Scanning from
Windows ME or XP" on page 51.
The instructions in this section are for scanning with the TWAIN
software on computers running Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, or XP. If
your computer is running Windows ME or XP and you want to use
the WIA software, see "Scanning from Windows ME or XP" on
page 51.
To scan an item:
1. Load a stack of documents in the Automatic Document Feeder,
or place an item face-down on the glass and align it with the
arrow on the reference frame. See "Loading Documents to
Scan" on page 16 for details.
