The TWAIN Datasource
Using the TWAIN
Datasource
A-61848 / TWAIN October 2016
The information in this guide provides procedures for using the TWAIN/
TWAINDSM Datasource as well as descriptions of the features. The
same features should be available on the user interface of the scanning
application you are using (e.g., Kodak Capture Pro Software).
This guide describes the default TWAIN Datasource interface. Your
application may change the TWAIN Datasource user interface to better
suit its purpose. If your application provider has customized the TWAIN
Datasource interface, it may not match the default screen
configurations as described in this guide.
The Kodak i5x50 Scanners can provide a wide variety of electronic
images. This can be done by using the TWAIN Datasource that is
provided in concert with your scanning application. The TWAIN
Datasource is the part of the capture system which links the scanner to
your scanning application.
When using the TWAIN Datasource, the main Scanner window will
display a list of Setting Shortcuts. Each Setting Shortcut is a group of
specific image and device settings. The supplied Setting Shortcuts
represent some common electronic image outputs used for a wide
variety of input documents. If none of the Setting Shortcuts meet your
scanning needs, you can create a customized Setting Shortcut. For
example, you could create a Setting Shortcut called "Invoices" and
whenever you want to scan invoices, you simply select that Setting
Shortcut. For more information, refer to "Changing or creating a Setting
Shortcut" on page 3.
NOTE: If you are using the ISIS Driver, see the Scanning Setup Guide
for the ISIS Driver, A-61849 for more information.
If you do not have a scanning application, you may use the Scan
Validation Tool to access the TWAIN Datasource and scan with your
scanner. The Scan Validation Tool is provided as a diagnostic aid and
may not be the best choice for a high-volume scanning application.
More information on how to use the Scan Validation Tool is provided at
"The Scan Validation Tool" on page 87.
