Scanning with EPSON TWAIN

Scans are performed from within a host application—the application into which you plan to import the scanned image or document, such as Adobe PhotoDeluxe or other TWAIN-compliant program. You have to start this application before you can access EPSON TWAIN, your scanner software.

Once you’ve started your application, you need to select the scanner “source” you want to scan with. Your EPSON Perfection 1240U scanner comes with the EPSON TWAIN 5 driver. You need to select this driver as the source in your application.

This section contains step-by-step instructions for doing this. Since Adobe PhotoDeluxe comes with your scanner, this section uses it as an example, but you can perform the same steps with most TWAIN-compliant graphics programs, such as Adobe Photoshop® or CorelDRAW.® The electronic Reference Guide on your CD-ROM has detailed instructions on how to use the EPSON TWAIN driver (see page 23). For instructions on using a creative software application, see its electronic manual or online help.

Selecting TWAIN from Your Application

Once the document is placed on the scanner and the scanner is turned on, you can start EPSON TWAIN to capture the image into your graphics application.

Follow these steps (the steps may vary, depending on your application):

1.Start your application.

2.Select the scanner source. Open the File menu and choose Select Source,

Import, or Acquire, and then select either Select TWAIN_32 Source

(Windows) or TWAIN Select (Macintosh).
