About TWAIN drivers and plug-ins

The scanner can be launched directly from an image-processing application like Adobe
Photoshop Elements. When the scanner utility software is installed in a computer with a Windows
operating system, a TWAIN driver is automatically installed with it. Although the TWAIN driver
cannot be seen, it allows the utility to be launched from an application as well as allowing the
computer and scanner to communicate.
When the scanner utility software is installed on a Macintosh computer, a plug-in file is placed in
the scanner utility folder. By simply dragging and dropping the plug-in file into an applications
import folder, the scanner utility software can be launched from that application.
