SCANNING FROM THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE

SCANNING AN ITEM WITH THE TWAIN BUTTON

The following procedure provides the basic steps for scanning an item using the Twain button in the PaperPort software. You can scan many types of items, from small business cards to A4-sized pages.

Note: Your Visioneer OneTouch 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 item that you want to scan.

To scan an item:

1.Open the scanner cover, place the item face down onto the lower left edge of the scanner glass, and close the cover.

2.If PaperPort isn’t running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the Windows Desktop to start it. The PaperPort Desktop appears.

3.Click the Twain icon on the Command Bar, or choose Acquire from the File menu.

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