Basic Procedures for Scanning Files Using TWAIN Scanner

This section describes the basic operation for scanning with the TWAIN scanner.

Important

  • To use the TWAIN scanner, a TWAIN-compliant application, such as DeskTopBinder, and the TWAIN driver must be installed on the client computer.

The following procedure uses Windows XP and DeskTopBinder Lite by way of example. DeskTopBinder Lt is not supplied with this machine. If you want to use PageManager, see the manual supplied with PageManager.

1On the [Start] menu, point to [Programs], point to [DeskTopBinder], and then click [DeskTopBinder].

2On the [Tools] menu, click [Scanner Settings...].

3Click [Select Scanner Driver...].

4Select the name of the machine you want to use in the list, and then click [Select...].

5Click [OK].

6Place originals.

7On the [File] menu, point to [Add Document], and then click [Scan...]. The Scanner Control dialog box appears.

Alternately, you can click image on the screen.

A dialog box that is used to control a scanner using the TWAIN driver is referred to as the Scanner Control dialog box.

8Make settings according to such factors as the type of original, type of scanning, and orientation of the original.

For details, see the TWAIN driver Help

9In the Scanner Control dialog box, click [Scan...].

If there are more originals to be scanned, place the next original, and then click [Scan].

If there are no more originals to be scanned, click [Close].

10On the [File] menu, click [Exit].

11Enter the file name, and then click [OK].

The DeskTopBinder viewer closes and the image is stored in DeskTopBinder Lite.

Note

  • If you have already selected a scanner, you do not need to select the scanner unless you want to change it.

  • Using DeskTopBinder, you can edit and print scan files. For more information about DeskTopBinder, see DeskTopBinder manuals.

  • The model name of the connected scanner appears in the title bar of the Scanner Control dialog box. If there is more than one scanner of the same model on the network, make sure you have selected the correct scanner. If you have not, click [Select Scanner Driver...], and then select the scanner again.
