The Scan Window
The Nikon Scan Plug-in or TWAIN Source
Nikon Scan consists of the following two modules:
• The Scan Window
The scan window is the interface between your scanner and
the imaging application that acts as a host for Nikon Scan. It
is where you adjust scanner settings and perform image en-
hancement before scanning the image into the host applica-
tion, which can be any application that supports TWAIN
(Windows) or Adobe Photoshop 5.0 plug-ins (Macintosh).
• The Nikon Scan Applet
The Nikon Scan applet, or mini-program, serves as a host for
the scan window when no other compatible program is avail-
able, or when you don't have the resources needed to run a
more sophisticated imaging program. When you are using
the Nikon Scan applet, Nikon Scan is said to be functioning
as a "stand-alone" application.
This section describes how to access the scan window and in-
troduces you to scan window controls.
Tutorial: The Scan Window
Opening the Scan Window
Before opening the scan window, make sure that your Nikon
scanner is connected and powered on.
• Opening the Scan Window from a Host Application
To open the scan window from a third-party application such
as Adobe Photoshop, select Nikon Scan from the host's im-
port or acquire menu (see the host application manual for
details). If you are using a Macintosh, the Nikon Scan 3.0 plug-
in must first be copied to the application's Plug-ins folder. In
the Windows version of Adobe Photoshop LE, the File menu
contains a sub-menu of import commands which in-cludes
an option for selecting the TWAIN source; select this option
and choose "Nikon Scan 3.0" from the list of sources that
appears. In the Macintosh version, the scan window can be
opened by choosing "Nikon Scan 3.0" from the sub-menu of
import/export plug-ins under the File menu.
• Using Nikon Scan as a Stand-Alone Application
Double-click the Nikon Scan 3.0 icon in the folder to which
you installed Nikon Scan. Windows users can also start Nikon
Scan by clicking the Windows Start button and selecting
Nikon Scan 3.0 from the Programs sub-menu.
