Scanning from PaperPort
Scanning from PaperPort
Instead of using a scanner button, you can scan directly from the PaperPort software. This is particularly helpful when you are using PaperPort to file and save your scanned items.
Your Scanner and the TWAIN Standard
Your scanner uses 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-compliant software, please refer to their user guides.
If your computer is running Windows ME or XP
Instead of using the TWAIN standard, your scanner can also use 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 ME or XP too. See "Scanning from Windows ME or XP" on page 51.
Scanning from Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, or XP
The instructions in this section are for scanning with the TWAIN software on computers running Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, or XP. If your computer is running Windows ME or XP and you want to use the WIA software, see "Scanning from Windows ME or XP" on page 51.
To scan an item:
1. Load a stack of documents in the Automatic Document Feeder, or place an item face-down on the glass and align it with the arrow on the reference frame. See "Loading Documents to Scan" on page 16 for details.
