Scanning with the TWAIN Interface from PaperPort
Scanning with the TWAIN
Interface from PaperPort
Instead of using the scanner buttons or the One Touch Button
Panel to scan, you can also scan from the TWAIN interface. The
PaperPort application that you received with your scanner provides
access to the TWAIN interface. This scanning method is
particularly helpful when you’re already using PaperPort to file and
save scanned items, or if you want to adjust scan settings prior to
scanning.
A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is
a widely recognized procedure that software applications use to
receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital
devices. The PaperPort software that you received with your
scanner uses the TWAIN standard, and this guide shows how to
scan with it. But you can also open the same TWAIN interface from
many other graphics and imaging applications and scan from them
as well. Because the TWAIN interface is the same regardless of
the software you use to open it, you can still use the instructions in
this User’s Guide for scanning with your Xerox DocuMate 252
scanner. To access the TWAIN interface from other software,
please refer to their user’s guides, then return to this User’s Guide
for the steps to scan. The instructions for scanning are in the
section “Scanning with the TWAIN Interface” on page 89.
NOTE: You can also access the TWAIN interface when you’re
scanning from the One Touch software. If the One Touch
configuration you’re using to scan 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 “Configuring
Before Scanning” on page 63 for details.
