What is TWAIN?
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
has been overhauled to take advantage of the 32-bit architecture.
Your scanner installation software contains two TWAIN sources
— one for using your scanner with 16-bit applications (i.e.
InfoCenter Lite) and one for using your scanner with 32-bit
applications (i.e. Adobe Photoshop). Use the following as a guide
to select the appropriate source.
16-bit applications are legacy Windows 3.x programs that you are
running under Windows 95.
32-bit applications are programs specifically designed for
Windows 95, to take advantage of performance enhancements
provided by the new architecture.
Please Note: Windows 3.1x does not support 32-bit applications,
therefore the 16-bit scanning source should always be selected
when running Windows 3.1x. You may experience scanning
problems if you do not use the appropriate source.
A note about application software
The scanner hardware by itself is not very useful. It takes a
combination of the scanner hardware and application software to
