TWAIN is the interface that links the scanner with scanning
software applications. TWAIN is an industry standard that enables
you to use the ImageReader with any TWAIN-compliant software
application.
With the introduction of Windows 95, the TWAIN specification
has been overhauled to take advantage of the 32-bit architecture.
Your scanner installation software contains two TWAIN sources
— one for using your scanner with 16-bit applications (i.e.
InfoCenter Lite) and one for using your scanner with 32-bit
applications (i.e. Adobe Photoshop). Use the following as a guide
to select the appropriate source.
16-bit applications are legacy Windows 3.x programs that you are
running under Windows 95.
32-bit applications are programs specifically designed for
Windows 95, to take advantage of performance enhancements
provided by the new architecture.
Please Note: Windows 3.1x does not support 32-bit applications,
therefore the 16-bit scanning source should always be selected
when running Windows 3.1x. You may experience scanning
problems if you do not use the appropriate source.

combination of the scanner hardware and application software to
