Introduction - Microtek ArtixScan DI 1210 Reference Manual

Introduction

ScanWizard DI is Microtek's scanning software developed exclusively for Document
Imaging (DI) scanners. Supporting both TWAIN and ISIS protocols and featuring
multiple scanning frames with an all-in-one control panel, ScanWizard DI is easy to
use, yet powerful.
• Dual-driver support — ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface Specification) and
TWAIN. ISIS is a module-extensible driver for data acquisition, viewing, format
conversion, printing and storage. ISIS is best suited for use in high-speed
document scanning drivers. TWAIN, on the other hand, is widely used in the
market today. If your application program does not support ISIS, use TWAIN
instead.
• Dual-mode support — Plug-in mode and Stand-alone mode. In the Plug-in mode,
ScanWizard DI is launched within an image-editing or OCR application through
the ISIS or TWAIN driver. In the Stand-alone mode, ScanWizard DI is launched
as an independent program through the TWAIN driver.
• Multiple scanning frames — ScanWizard DI features full document scanning
tools and on-screen proofing. You may assign different attributes on the
subframes, and the preview option gives you a quick scan in the preview
window.
• Duplex scanning support — With this feature, ScanWizard DI allows the
scanning of both sides of a document at the same time. Note: This function is
available only in scanners that implement this feature.
• Auto-crop and auto-deskew — The auto-crop function automatically detects the
size of the original image, crops the full scan frame to fit the image, and removes
unwanted black borders. The auto-deskew function automatically corrects
distorted images for proper alignment.
• All-in-one control panel — ScanWizard DI's single-page overall control panel
gives you the power to scan photos or documents without having to initiate a
scanning session on the screen. It provides a simple and straightforward control
over the scanning process.
• Programmable function buttons that can be customized —ScanWizard DI lets
you assign functions to function buttons for easier access. This function is
available only for scanners that implement this feature.
