USING THE TWAIN
BUTTON
Instead of using the scanner's buttons or
PaperPort software, you can use the
supplied Twain software to control your
scanner. This lets you scan many types
of objects, from small business cards to
A4-sized pages.
Note: Your scanner is initially set to
scan from the PaperPort software with
the setting

scan a black-and-white image, select
one of the other settings. To scan at a
higher resolution for a color image, se-

Better Quality
.
However, scanning at a higher resolu-
tion 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
object that you want to scan.
Follow these steps to scan using the
Twain button.
1. Open the document cover and place
the object to scan facedown on the
glass. Then close the cover.
2. If the PaperPort software is not cur-
rently running, double-click the
PaperPort icon on the Windows
desktop to start it. The
PaperPort
Desktop
appears.
3. Click the
Twain
icon on the com-
mand bar or click
Acquire
on the
File menu. The
USB Scanner
dialog
box appears.
Note: When scanning from other
Twain software, choose
Acquire
or
Scan
from the File menu. Other
Twain software will usually not have
a
Twain
button.
4. Adjust the desired Twain options.
