The TWAIN program is a very important piece of software that comes with your
scanner. This program acts as an interface between the scanner hardware and the
image-editing software you are using to view and edit images. The TWAIN program
allows you to adjust a number of settings to define the quality of the scanned image.
The following describes how you may use our bundled application (NewSoft Presto!
PageManager), OCR software (ABBYY FineReader Sprint Plus) and Business card
Recognition Software (HotCard BizCard Finder) to scan via TWAIN interface. When
you get familiar with the scanning, you may alternatively use other TWAIN compatible
scanning program or image-editing application to do your scanning projects.
