Scanning With Epson Twain; Selecting Twain From Your Application - Epson Perfection 1240U PHOTO User Manual

Scanning with EPSON TWAIN

Scans are performed from within a host application—the application into which you
plan to import the scanned image or document, such as Adobe PhotoDeluxe or other
TWAIN-compliant program. You have to start this application before you can access
EPSON TWAIN, your scanner software.
Once you've started your application, you need to select the scanner "source" you
want to scan with. Your EPSON Perfection 1240U scanner comes with the EPSON
TWAIN 5 driver. You need to select this driver as the source in your application.
This section contains step-by-step instructions for doing this. Since Adobe
PhotoDeluxe comes with your scanner, this section uses it as an example, but you can
