About scanners and scanner drivers
Pagis Pro provides a number of built-in scanner drivers referred
to as ISIS drivers. These drivers support many popular, older
scanners (more than a year old).
In addition, Pagis Pro provides support of TWAIN drivers for
scanners and digital cameras. TWAIN drivers are provided by
scanner or camera manufacturers, and are now the industry
standard.
Pagis Pro controls ISIS scanners, and many TWAIN devices,
directly. However, TWAIN drivers vary in their level of
compliance to the TWAIN specification.
As a result, Pagis Pro can still connect to, but cannot directly
control, some TWAIN scanners, and all digital cameras.
In such cases, you start the scanning process in Pagis Pro. Then,
you control scanner or camera settings and operation through the
device’s own TWAIN interface.
When scanning is complete, the TWAIN interface passes the
scanned image or photograph to Pagis Pro.
