Installation

features
A-61580 November 2007
The TWAIN Datasource is included with the scanner. You can install the
Datasource from the CD.
1. Insert the CD into the drive.
2. Double-click the setup.exe file.
3. Follow the instructions on each screen as prompted.
After installation is complete, install your application software on the
host PC.
A sample TWAIN Datasource application, called the Scan Validation
Tool, is also provided as part of this installation. This application can be
used to validate scanner functionality. The screen shots in this chapter
(from the Scan Validation Tool) document the TWAIN Datasource
graphical user interface which can be one option when creating your
own Setting Shortcut.
All Kodak Scanners have the capability of providing a wide variety of
electronic images. This can be accomplished by using the provided
TWAIN Datasource 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 Kodak 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. If none of the
Setting Shortcuts meet your scanning needs, you can create a
customized Setting Shortcut.
This chapter provides descriptions of the scanner features using
options on the TWAIN Datasource tabs. If you are using the TWAIN
Datasource, follow the procedures in this chapter to set up your
scanner. If you are using the ISIS driver, see Chapter 4, Using the ISIS
Driver.
If you have used previous scanners from Kodak, you may be familiar
with many of the image processing features already. With the new
graphical user interface in the TWAIN Datasource, some of the names
of those features have changed. Refer to Appendix A, TWAIN Image
Processing Terminology for a cross reference of previous names with
new names.
