NTERFACE
Instead of using the OneTouch Button Panel to scan, you can scan from
the TWAIN interface. The PaperPort application that you received with
your scanner uses the TWAIN interface for scanning. This scanning
method is particularly helpful when you’re using PaperPort to file and
save scanned items, or to adjust scanning settings prior to 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. This guide shows
how to scan with the TWAIN interface from PaperPort. But you can
also open the 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. 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.
G ETTING H ELP WITH THE P APER P ORT S OFTWARE
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 User’s Guide on the CD.
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 without opening PaperPort first.
