Scanning with the TWAIN Interface
Accessing the TWAIN Interface
Each TWAIN-compliant software application has its own specific steps to 
open the TWAIN interface, but the basic process is the same for most of 
them.
Open the TWAIN Interface from One Touch:
If the One Touch configuration you’re using to scan is set to Configure 
Before Scan, and the selected option is TWAIN, the TWAIN interface 
opens when you press the button on your scanner without opening 
another application first.
Open the TWAIN Interface from an Application:
Each TWAIN-compliant software application has its own specific steps to 
open the TWAIN interface, but the basic process is the same for most of 
them.
1. Open a TWAIN-compliant scanning application.
2. Use that application’s command to open the TWAIN interface.
In PaperPort click on the toolbar Scan button then choose TWAIN: 
Xerox DocuMate 250 when prompted. Select Display scanner 
dialog box, then click on the Scan button in the scanning pane.
Many Microsoft Office applications can access the TWAIN interface 
from the Insert menu, by choosing Picture then From Scanner or 
Camera.
The TWAIN interface opens and you’re ready to start scanning.
