This bulletin describes the necessary steps to implement the Epson TWAIN driver in a Windows 3.1 session under OS/2 Warp 3.0. This procedure will cover both current versions of Epson TWAIN (1.03 and lower as well as 2.02 and higher) using bidirectional parallel and SCSI interfaces.

NOTE:

TWAIN v1.03 and lower will not work with the Epson ES-1200C scanner. You must use TWAIN 2.02 or higher. If you are using the ES-1200C with a program that has Epson scanner support, you may need install the EPSN.SYS device driver for that Windows session. To do this, follow steps 6 through 16 below. You will need to obtain EPSNSY.EXE from the Epson BBS. This file has the EPSN.SYS driver included in it. Simply copy the driver to the root directory of your boot drive.
