Capturing Images From Within Applications

When you scan an image from within an application using EPSON TWAIN, you follow these basic steps:

Access TWAIN from within your application’s File menu

Choose either the easy or advanced TWAIN screen

Select the correct image type and destination settings

lPreview the image and select the scan area (advanced screen only)

lScan the image

Close TWAIN and edit the image in your application.

Guidelines for performing each of these basic steps are provided in this chapter.

If you don’t need to preview the image you are scanning and want only to specify the document source (if available), the image type, and the destination, you can use the easy screen; see page 3-3.

If you want to select calibration profiles, or add, delete, or modify an image or destination before you scan, you must use the advanced screen; see page 3-5. (To use the special effects features on the advanced screen, see Chapter 4)

If your application does not support TWAIN, you can use EPSON Scan! II to scan an image and export it in format your image editing software can use. See Chapter 5 for more in formation.
