SCANNING WITH THE TWAIN INTERFACE

In addition to using the scanner buttons or the OneTouch Button Panel to scan, you can also scan using the TWAIN interface. Many applications can use TWAIN for scanning.

A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. Many word processing, graphics, and imaging applications comply with the TWAIN standard, and you can use your scanner with any application that is fully TWAIN-compliant.

Note: If the OneTouch configuration you are using to scan is set to Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away. You don’t need to open it from another application as explained in the following steps.

To scan with the TWAIN Interface:

1.Open an application that is TWAIN-compliant.

Applications that are TWAIN-compliant include Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word, and many other graphics applications and word processing applications.

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

For example, in Microsoft PowerPoint, from the Insert menu, choose Picture then choose From Scanner or Camera. Click the drop-down menu and choose Visioneer Patriot 680. Then click Custom Insert. Note that your scanner may be listed twice. One listing is for choosing TWAIN Interface, the other is usually for choosing the WIA Interface. See “Scanning with the Windows Image Acquisition” on page 125to scan from WIA.

Other applications have steps similar to PowerPoint’s.

3.The TWAIN Interface will open. If you’ve already scanned using TWAIN, the interface that opens is the one you used previously to scan.

Please refer to an application’s user guide for the appropriate steps to open the TWAIN Interface for your scanner.
