Instead of using the AutoScan feature, you can scan from the PaperPort
software application. This is particularly helpful when you’re using
PaperPort to file and save scanned items or if you want to preview an
image and adjust scanning settings prior to scanning.
A Note About Your Scanner and the Twain standard: If your
computer is running Windows 98, Me, or 2000, your scanner can use
the Twain standard for scanning. Twain is a widely recognized
procedure that computers use to receive images from scanners, digital
cameras, and other digital devices. The PaperPort software application
that you received with your scanner uses the Twain standard, and this
guide shows how to scan with it. Many other graphics and imaging
applications also comply with the Twain standard, so you can use your
scanner with those applications too. To use your scanner with other
Twain software, please refer to their user guides.
If your computer is running Windows XP: instead of using the Twain
standard, your scanner uses Microsoft’s Windows Image Application
(WIA) standard for scanning, which is also available from other
applications. Therefore, you can use your scanner with other
applications on a computer running Windows XP too. See “Scanning
from a Computer Running Windows XP” on page 30.
