Scanning via TWAIN Interface
The TWAIN program is a very important piece of software that comes with your
scanner. This program acts as an interface between the scanner hardware and the
image-editing software you are using to view and edit images. The TWAIN program
allows you to adjust a number of settings to define the quality of the scanned image.
The following describes how you may use your TWAIN compatible program to scan
via the TWAIN interface. When you get familiar with the scanning, you may
alternatively use other TWAIN compatible scanning program or image-editing
application to do your scanning projects.
