Using the TWAIN Data Source

Installation

The TWAIN Data Source is included with the scanner. You can install the
data source from the CD.

1. Insert the CD into the drive.

2. Follow the instructions on each screen as prompted.

After installation is complete, install your application software on the
host PC.

After your application software is loaded and launched, use the TWAIN
Data Source software to setup your scanner.

A sample TWAIN Data Source application, called the Scan Validation
Tool, is also installed during this installation. This application can be
used to validate scanner functionality. The screen captures in this
chapter (from the Scan Validation Tool) document the TWAIN Data
Source graphical user interface (GUI) which can be one option when
creating your own application. If you choose to use programmatic
controls, refer to the Integrator's Guide readme.htm file located in the
Integrator directory on the CD provided with the scanner. The guide is
also available on the website (

www.Kodak.com/go/DI

). The file const.ini,

a shortcut to it is located in your default Windows directory\twain_32\
kodak\kds_i100, includes information you need to setup the TWAIN
Data Source to simulate an i100 Series Scanner in order for you to begin
development work without a physical scanner. This is also documented
in the material linked from the Integrator's Guide readme.htm.
