SCANNING WITH THE TWAIN INTERFACE 93

Scanning with the

TWAIN Interface

Instead of using the scanner buttons or the OneTouch Button Panel to scan, you can scan from the TWAIN interface. The PaperPort application you received with your scanner uses the TWAIN interface for scanning. This scanning method is particularly helpful when you’re already using PaperPort to file and save scanned items, or if you want to adjust scanning settings prior to scanning.

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. The PaperPort software you received with your scanner uses the TWAIN standard, and this guide shows how to scan with it. But you can also open the same TWAIN interface from many other graphics and imaging applications and scan from them as well. Because the TWAIN interface is 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 9750 scanner. To access the TWAIN interface from other software, please refer to their user’s guides, then return to this User’s Guide for the steps to scan.

Note: You can also access the TWAIN interface when you’re scanning from the OneTouch software. If the OneTouch configuration you’re using to scan is set to Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away without opening PaperPort or any other TWAIN-compliant software first. See the section “Configuring Before Scanning” on page 73 for details.
