TWAIN is the interface that links the scanner with scanning software applications. -TWAIN is an industry standard that
enables you to use the ImageReader with any TWAIN-compliant software application.
With the introduction of Windows 95, the TWAIN specification bat been overhauled to take advantage of the 32-bit
architecture. When you install our scanner driver under Windows 95, you will have two TWAIN sources - one for 16-bit
applications and one for 32-bit applications. Use the following as a guide to select the appropriate source.

The scanner hardware by itself is not very useful. It takes a combination of the scanner hardware and application
software to perform any task. Before you begin scanning, you need to choose the appropriate application to use for the
task at hand. Please read this section to,gain an understanding of the types of scanning software there are.
Scanning software generally falls into two groups, Graphics (image editing), or OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
Each type has specific features designed to address the technical challenges faced in the scanning of graphics or of text.
