SCANNING FROM THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE 29
SCANNING AN ITEM WITH THE TWAIN BUTTON
The following procedure provides the basic steps for scanning an item
using the Twain button in the PaperPort software. You can scan many
types of items, from small business cards to A4-sized pages.
To scan an item:
1. Open the scanner cover, place the item face down onto the lower
left edge of the scanner glass, and close the cover.
2. If PaperPort isn’t running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the
Windows Desktop to start it. The PaperPort Desktop appears.
3. Click the Twain icon on the Command Bar, or choose Acquire
from the File menu.
The Visioneer Scan Manager dialog box appears.
Note: Your Visioneer OneTouch scanner is initially set to scan from
the PaperPort software with the setting Color Document—Faster. To
scan a black-and-white image, select one of the other settings. To scan
at a higher resolution for a color image, select Color Document—
Better Quality. However, scanning at a higher resolution creates a
larger file size and takes longer to scan. To minimize the file size and
the time required to get a better quality scan, select just the area of the
item that you want to scan.
Note: When scanning from other Twain software, choose Acquire
from the File menu. Other Twain software usually will not have a
Twain button.
