USING THE TWAIN

BUTTON

Instead of using the scanner's buttons or PaperPort software, you can use the supplied Twain software to control your scanner. This lets you scan many types of objects, from small business cards to A4-sized pages.

Note: Your scanner is initially set to scan from the PaperPort software with the setting Color Document— Faster. To scan a black-and-white image, select one of the other settings. To scan at a higher resolution for a color image, select Color Document— Better Quality. However, scanning at a higher resolution creates a larger file size and takes longer to scan. To minimize the file size and the time required to get a better quality scan, select just the area of the object that you want to scan.

Follow these steps to scan using the Twain button.

1.Open the document cover and place the object to scan facedown on the glass. Then close the cover.

2.If the PaperPort software is not cur- rently running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the Windows desktop to start it. The PaperPort Desktop appears.

3.Click the Twain icon on the com- mand bar or click Acquire on the File menu. The USB Scanner dialog box appears.

Note: When scanning from other Twain software, choose Acquire or Scan from the File menu. Other Twain software will usually not have a Twain button.

4.Adjust the desired Twain options.

Scan Page For — Select one of these preset options if you want to use it for scanning. These options are optimized for the various uses of scanned images, such as scanning for editing text or scanning in color. For more information about these settings, see “Pre-Defining Scan Settings” on Page 17. If you do not want to use one of these preset options, you can manually select the scan configuration options. Note that when you select a preset option, scan configuration settings are for that preset option. You can also create your own custom config- urations. See the Help information for details.
