The following steps explain how to scan an item using the Twain button
in the PaperPort software. You can scan many types of 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 dialog box appears.
Note
: Your Visioneer OneTouch 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.
