Windows by typing WIN at the DOS prompt (C:\>) and pressing Enter.
NOTE: As you use a variety of TWAIN compliant software, it may be helpful to
know how the TWAIN specifications expect applications to perform. The specifi-
cations provide for a consistent software interface by encouraging software
developers to include two specific commands — S
ELECT S OURCE and A CQUIRE — on
the F
ILE
menu. The specification intends that users should first choose S
ELECT
S
OURCE
which should display a list of TWAIN compliant device drivers installed
on the system. After the user selects a driver from the list, he/she should be
returned to the application. The user should then choose A
CQUIRE which should
open access to the device and allow the user to obtain image data. However, all
software does not implement the specifications as intended.
IMPORTANT: Some image-editing software takes all available RAM by default at
start-up. The TWAIN driver will not work if this occurs. To avoid the problem, set
the memory preference for your application (often found on the F
ILE menu) so that
there is at least one megabyte of free RAM.
