Scan from other software programs

You can scan an image directly into one of your software programs if the program is TWAIN-compliant. Generally, the program is compliant if it has a menu option such as Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If you are unsure whether the program is compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that program.
