SCANNING AN ITEM WITH THE TWAIN BUTTON

The following steps explain how to scan an item using the Twain button in the PaperPort software. You can scan many types of paper items, from small business cards to A4-sized pages. You can also scan transparencies including 35mm photographic slides and strips of film, as well as presentation slides used with overhead projectors.

Note: Your Visioneer OneTouch scanner is initially set to scan from the PaperPort software for color items. To scan a black-and-white or greyscale item, select one of the other configurations from the Scan Manager Pro’s list of configurations. To scan at a higher resolution for a color image, select Color—Better Quality. However, scanning at a higher resolution creates a larger file size and takes longer to scan. To minimize the file size and the time required to get a better quality scan, select just the area of the item that you want to scan.

To scan an item:

1.Open the scanner cover, place the item face down onto the lower left edge of the scanner glass, and close the cover.

2.If PaperPort isn’t running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the Windows Desktop to start it. The PaperPort Desktop appears.

3.Click the Twain icon on the Command Bar, or choose Acquire from the File menu.

Note: You can also scan from other applications that have the Twain capability. See the user’s guides that you received with those applications for their specific steps to scan.

The Visioneer Scan Manager Pro appears.
