Visioneer XP 450 manual Scanning from PaperPort, Your Scanner And The Twain Standard

22VISIONEER STROBE XP 450 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE

Scanning from

PaperPort

Instead of using the scanner button, you can scan from the PaperPort software application. Use this method if you want to preview an image and adjust scanning settings prior to scanning.

YOUR SCANNER AND THE TWAIN STANDARD

Your scanner uses the TWAIN standard for scanning. TWAIN is a widely recognized methodology that computers use to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. The PaperPort software application that you received with your scanner uses the TWAIN standard, and this guide shows how to scan with it. Many other graphics and imaging applications also comply with the TWAIN standard, so you can use your scanner with those applications too. To use your scanner with other TWAIN-compliant software, please refer to their user guides.

IF YOUR COMPUTER IS RUNNING WINDOWS ME OR XP

Instead of using the TWAIN standard, your scanner can also use Microsoft’s Windows Image Application (WIA) standard for scanning, which is also available from other applications. Therefore, you can use your scanner with other applications on a computer running Windows Me or XP too. See “Scanning from Windows Me or XP” on page 45.
