Using the TWAIN datasource
Terminology and features
How do I begin?
The TWAIN datasource is software that communicates with your scanner. It is provided by Kodak with the i1200/i1300 Scanners. Many scanning applications support the TWAIN standard and this datasource can be used to interface with these applications.
This section 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 section to set up your scanner. If you are using the ISIS driver, see the section entitled, “Using the ISIS driver” later in this chapter.

If you have used previous scanners from Kodak, you may be familiar with many of the image processing features already.

Refer to Appendix B, Feature Map for a cross reference of old feature names with new feature names.

Each Settings Shortcut is separately named and contains the scanner settings needed to do a certain scanning job. For additional flexibility, Settings Shortcuts also include device settings, like Energy Star and transport
You can alter and create Settings Shortcuts for your specific scanning needs. In order to create your own custom Settings Shortcut, select one of the default Settings Shortcuts to use as a template, make your desired changes to the settings and then save the Settings Shortcut with a name that is meaningful to you. You cannot modify the default Setting Shortcuts.
