USING THE TWAIN
BUTTON

Instead of using the scanner's buttons or
PaperPort software, you can use the
supplied Twain software to control your
scanner. This lets you scan many types
of objects, from small business cards to
A4-sized pages.

Note: Your scanner is initially set to
scan from the PaperPort software with
the setting

Color Document

Faster

. To

scan a black-and-white image, select
one of the other settings. To scan at a
higher resolution for a color image, se-
lect

Color Document

Better Quality

.

However, scanning at a higher resolu-
tion creates a larger file size and takes
longer to scan. To minimize the file size
and the time required to get a better
quality scan, select just the area of the
object that you want to scan.

Follow these steps to scan using the
Twain button.

1. Open the document cover and place

the object to scan facedown on the
glass. Then close the cover.

2. If the PaperPort software is not cur-

rently running, double-click the
PaperPort icon on the Windows
desktop to start it. The

PaperPort

Desktop appears.

3. Click the

Twain

icon on the com-

mand bar or click

Acquire

on the

File menu. The USB Scanner dialog
box appears.

Note: When scanning from other
Twain software, choose

Acquire

or

Scan

from the File menu. Other

Twain software will usually not have
a

Twain

button.

4. Adjust the desired Twain options.

Scan Page For — Select one of
these preset options if you want to
use it for scanning. These options
are optimized for the various uses of

for editing text or scanning in color.

settings, see “Pre-Defining Scan
Settings” on Page 17. If you do not
want to use one of these preset
options, you can manually select the
scan configuration options. Note
that when you select a preset
option, scan configuration settings
are for that preset option. You can
also create your own custom config-
urations. See the Help information
