TWAIN is the interface that links the scanner with scanning software applications. -TWAIN is an industry standard that
enables you to use the ImageReader with any TWAIN-compliant software application.
With the introduction of Windows 95, the TWAIN specification bat been overhauled to take advantage of the 32-bit
architecture. When you install our scanner driver under Windows 95, you will have two TWAIN sources - one for 16-bit
applications and one for 32-bit applications. Use the following as a guide to select the appropriate source.
