Introduction

ISIS

®

(Image and Scanner Interface Specification), is an industry standard way of controlling a scanner and

transferring the data it outputs into a computer system. ISIS consists of a system of software modules, each
of which performs a specific imaging-related function. For application developers, ISIS provides a robust
and consistent interface for the integration of scanners into applications. Because ISIS is an industry
standard, users of ISIS scanner drivers can be confident that the hardware they have purchased will be
supported by a wide variety of compatible applications.

This guide explains how to set up and use Pixel Translations’ ISIS driver for the EPSON GT-30000 color
image scanner. The instructions are by necessity somewhat generic and describe a typical use of the driver
by an ISIS application. Illustrations, descriptions, and instructions refer to the built-in user interfaces
available in the ISIS driver. However, developers of ISIS applications have the freedom to create their own
user interfaces and bypass the built-in ones. Therefore, appearance and operation of the scanner within your
application may differ from the descriptions provided in this guide.
