Scanning with the TWAIN Interface from PaperPort

Scanning with the TWAIN Interface from PaperPort

Instead of using the scanner buttons or the One Touch Button Panel to scan, you can also scan from the TWAIN interface. The PaperPort application that you received with your scanner provides access to the TWAIN interface. This scanning method is particularly helpful when you’re already using PaperPort to file and save scanned items, or if you want to adjust scan 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 that 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 Xerox DocuMate 272 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. The instructions for scanning are in the section “Scanning with the TWAIN Interface” on page 85.

NOTE: You can also access the TWAIN interface when you’re scanning from the One Touch software. If the One Touch 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 “Configure Before Scan” on page 63 for details.
