5.1. Overview
TWAIN defines a standard software protocol and API (application programming interface) for
communication between software applications and image acquisition devices (the data
source). The sharpVISION™ TWAIN driver complies with these specifications.
The sharpVISION™ TWAIN driver allows to acquire images from the sharpVISION digital
camera and import them into many applications, such as Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Image
Ready®, Adobe Acrobat®, Microsoft Imaging®, Microsoft Office® and so on.
The applications that comply with the TWAIN specifications have added two options to their
menu (Select Source and Acquire). The options allow the user to select the sharpVISION
camera and import acquired images in the application.
5.2. Select source
When the user chooses the Select Source option, the application requests that a Select
Source dialog box is displayed. A list of all the available devices appears. The user may
highlight and select the sharpVISION camera and click OK. See the picture below.
