GUIDELINES FOR USING

TWAIN DRIVER

Overview

To get a picture from the SMX-M8xx Camera you can use the Scanners and Cameras operation - the standard Window's Administrative Tool (Start> Control Panel>Scanners and Cameras).

You can also use almost any of the image editing programs to get the image from the SMX-M8xx Camera using Scanners and Cameras. This action is available in almost all image editing programs.

The information in this section of the document is based on the image editor that is always available in Windows XP - Microsoft Paint.

To use the SMX-M8xx Camera for getting images, you should first install the required software - TWAIN Driver.

Installation and use of TWAIN Driver requires that the needed hardware for the camera use is already installed (see chapter “Installation” ).

Note: Installation and further use of TWAIN Driver is supported only by Windows XP operating system

Installation

If the TWAIN Driver was installed during the SMX-M8x USB2.0 Camera Software

Package installation (see chapter “Automatic Camera Installation” ), it is ready to be used.

If the TWAIN Driver was not installed during the SMX-M8x USB2.0 Camera Software Package installation (see chapter “Automatic Camera Installation” ), browse to the Sumix folder where the SMX-M8xx USB2.0 Camera was installed and open the \SMX-M8X USB2.0 Camera\Drivers\TWAIN folder.
