Setting Original Orientation on the TWAIN Scanner

To correctly display the top/bottom orientation of the scanned original on a client computer, the placement of the original and the settings made in the Scanner Control dialog box must match.

1Open the Scanner Control dialog box.

For details about how to open the Scanner Control dialog box, see Basic Network TWAIN Scanner Procedure.

2Make settings in the [Original Size] area.

The following table shows the relationship between the original orientation and the Scanner Control dialog box settings:

Note

  • Originals are normally rectangular (Illustration of an original) or horizontally long (Illustration of an original). However, the table above uses squares to make original orientation easier to understand. Even if the actual shape of the original is different, the combination of original orientation and the orientation specified on the scanner driver does not change.
