Scanning with the TWAIN Interface

Scanning with the TWAIN
Interface

You can scan from any TWAIN scanning application instead of scanning
from the One Touch buttons on your scanner or the One Touch button
pane.

A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a
widely recognized standard that software applications use to receive
images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. The
PaperPort and OmniPage applications that you received with your
scanner use the TWAIN standard. You can open the same TWAIN
interface from many other graphics and imaging applications. Because
the TWAIN interface is the same regardless of the software you use, you
can still uses the instructions in this User’s Guide for scanning with your
Xerox DocuMate 162 scanner. To access the TWAIN interface from other
software, please refer to their user’s guides.

Getting Help with the PaperPort Software

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 Getting Started Guide and PaperPort

on the CD.

NOTE:

You can access the TWAIn interface when you’re scanning

from the One Touch software. If the One Touch configuration you’re
using is set to Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is
TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away without opening
PaperPort or any other TWAIN-compliant software first. See the
section “Configure Before Scan” on page 46 for details.
