device is correctly connected to your
computer.

Click File, then Select TWAIN device.

From the Sources list, click the desired device
to select it.

Click Select to choose the selected device
and to close the dialog box.
5.
Click File, then Input from TWAIN device.
→ The driver interface for the device
selected in the Select Source dialog box
appears.
6.
Specify the necessary settings for importing
an image, and then import the image.
→ When the image transfer between the
scanner (or other device) and the driver is
completed, the imported image will be
pasted in a Design Page of the Original
Image Stage.

Note:
If no TWAIN device is installed, there will be
no names displayed in the Sources list.
First, install the driver software for the
TWAIN device that you want to use.
