In addition to using the OneTouch Button Panel to scan, you can also
scan using the TWAIN interface. Many applications can use TWAIN
for scanning.
A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a
widely recognized procedure that computers use to receive images from
scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. Because the TWAIN
interface is essentially 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 Visioneer Patriot 780 scanner. The steps below show
the basic process to open the TWAIN interface, but to open it in
specific software applications please refer to their user’s guides, then
return to this User’s Guide for the steps to scan.
Note: If the OneTouch configuration you are using to scan is set to
Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is TWAIN, the
TWAIN interface opens right away. You don’t need to open it from
another application as explained in the following steps.
