DocuMate 250 Scanner Installation Guide
Scanning from PaperPort
Instead of using the scanner button, you can scan from the
PaperPort software application. Use this method if you want to
preview an image and adjust scanning settings prior to scanning.
Your Scanner and the TWAIN Standard
Your scanner uses the TWAIN standard for scanning. TWAIN is a
widely recognized methodology that computers use to receive
images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices.
The PaperPort software application that you received with your
scanner uses the TWAIN standard, and this guide shows how to
scan with it. Many other graphics and imaging applications also
comply with the TWAIN standard, so you can use your scanner
with those applications too. To use your scanner with other TWAIN-
compliant software, please refer to their user guides.
If your computer is running Windows ME or XP
Instead of using the TWAIN standard, your scanner can also use
Microsoft’s Windows Image Application (WIA) standard for
scanning, which is also available from other applications.
Therefore, you can use your scanner with other applications on a
computer running Windows ME or XP too. See “Scanning from
Windows ME or XP” on page 40.
