Viewing test images
Understanding your scanning environment
The images you scanned can be found in the TWAIN folder on the C drive. Files will be named using the following naming convention: image0000001A.jpg is a front image; image0000001B.jpg is a back image.
Because factory default settings were used, the image quality may not be optimized to meet your needs. To learn more about image processing features, see Chapter 4, Image Processing, or refer to your capture application documentation.
When testing has been completed, delete the test images.
Now that your scanner is installed and tested, you are ready to select your production capture application. A capture application is a graphical user interface used to scan and organize electronic images. Some scanning applications are available on the CDs packed with your scanner. Capture applications will use either the ISIS driver or TWAIN datasource which are provided with your scanner as part of the Kodak Scanner Driver Software installation. The TWAIN datasource or ISIS driver links the scanner to your capture application.
