TWAIN is an industry-standard communications
protocol for sending instructions to hardware
(such as a scanner) and receiving data back (such
as an image). If you are using a program that
supports TWAIN, you can start
directly from that program.
HP ScanJet scanners and HP scanning software
can use TWAIN, but the programs you use to
create projects may not be TWAIN-compatible.
If a program can use TWAIN, it should have a
command named
Acquire
on one of its main menus, usually the
Import
menu.
Selecting one of these commands launches the
scanning software selected with the
command.
Editable text cannot be transferred using TWAIN.
