Scanning with the TWAIN Interface
74 DocuMate 262i Scanner User’s Guide
Scanning with the TWAIN
Interface
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 standard 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 262i 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 PaperPort software includes a complete set of help topics that
answer questions about each feature of the software. To open the Help
Topics window, press the F1 key or choose PaperPort Help from the
Help menu.
You can also refer to the PaperPort Getting Started Guide and PaperPort
User’s Guide on the Installation CD.
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 57 for details.
