Using the TWAIN imaging program
You can use the TWAIN imaging program in PaperPort to perform scan functions
using TWAIN-compatible items.
To scan an item using the TWAIN imaging program:
1. Open the scanner cover, place the item face down on the corner of the glass near
the reference icon, and close the cover.
2. If PaperPort is not running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the desktop.
3. Click the TWAIN icon on the Command Bar in the PaperPort desktop, or select
Acquire from the File menu to open the IdeaScan 2000 Scan Manager window.
4. Use the following options to customize the scan in TWAIN:
Scan Page For
You can use the Scan Page For section in the TWAIN window to select scan
options for the image. For information on the best scan settings to use, see
"Using the preset scan configurations" on page 1-10. If you do not want to
use the default settings in a preset scan configuration, you can manually
change the settings.
Scan Configuration
If you want to change the default settings in a preset scan configuration, you
can use the Scan Configuration section in the TWAIN window to manually
adjust the following scan configuration settings:
– Mode
From left to right, the modes are Color, Grayscale, and
Black-and-White. In the displayed configuration list, the icons for these
modes are displayed next to the preset configuration to indicate the
configuration mode setting. Click a mode to select it for the scan.
– Res
This is the dpi resolution setting for the scan. Click the drop-down
arrow, and select a dpi resolution setting from the displayed list. To
create scan images with greater definition, use higher dpi settings.
Higher dpi resolution settings are usually required for precision work,
such as photographs or fine artwork. However, scanning with higher
dpi resolution settings produces larger file sizes.
