Visioneer 430 manual Scanning from Twain Interface, Basic Steps to Open the Twain Interface

68VISIONEER PATRIOT 430 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

Scanning from the

TWAIN Interface

You can scan from any TWAIN scanning application instead of scanning from the OneTouch buttons on your scanner or the OneTouch button panel.

A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a widely recognized procedure that software applications use to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. Because the TWAIN interface is essentially the same regardless of the software you use to open it, you can still use the instructions in this User’s Guide for scanning with your Visioneer Patriot 430 scanner. Please refer to an application’s user guide for the appropriate steps to open the TWAIN Interface for your scanner.

For instructions on how to use the PaperPort software press F1 on your keyboard when the PaperPort software is open, or refer to the PaperPort User’s Guide on the installation CD.

BASIC STEPS TO OPEN THE TWAIN INTERFACE

Each TWAIN-compliant software application has its own specific steps to open the

TWAIN interface, but the basic process is the same for most of them.

1.Open an application that is TWAIN-compliant.

2.Use the application’s command that opens the TWAIN interface.

For example, in PaperPort click on the Scan button then choose TWAIN: Visioneer Patriot 430 when prompted. Also, many Microsoft Office applications can access the TWAIN interface from the Insert menu, by choosing Picture then From Scanner or Camera. Select Visioneer Patriot 430 from the drop-down menu.

3.The TWAIN Interface will open.
