The following steps explain how to scan an item using the Twain button
in the PaperPort software. You can scan many types of paper items, from
small business cards to A4-sized pages.
To scan an item:
1. Open the scanner cover, place the item face down onto the lower
left edge of the scanner glass, and close the cover.
2. If PaperPort isn’t running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the
Windows Desktop to start it. The PaperPort Desktop appears.
3. Click the Twain icon on the Command Bar,
or choose Acquire
from the
File
menu.
The Visioneer Scan Manager Pro appears.
Note: Your Visioneer PhotoPort scanner is initially set to scan from
the PaperPort software with the setting Color Document—Faster. To
scan a black-and-white image, select one of the other settings. To scan
at a higher resolution for a color image, select Color Document—
Better Quality. However, scanning at a higher resolution 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
item that you want to scan.
Note: You can also scan from other applications that have the Twain
capability. See the user’s guides that you received with those
applications for their specific steps to scan.
