All About The Windows Event Manager and scanner events in
Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows
Vista
Windows Platforms provide a mechanism for software to handle external events for
a scanner device like the OLIVETTI
d-Copia 200D/201D
series products. This
mechanism is controlled by the device manager on a device basis. Applications that
can handle events from a scanner/camera device register with the Windows Event
Manager and shown as available in the registered applications. The path an event
takes to get to the user's selected application depends upon the event settings for
the device.
