Introduction
ScanWizard DI is Microtek's scanning software developed exclusively for Document Imaging (DI) scanners. Supporting both TWAIN and ISIS protocols and featuring multiple scanning frames with an all-in-one control panel, ScanWizard DI is easy to use, yet powerful. · Dual-driver support -- ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface Specification) and TWAIN. ISIS is a module-extensible driver for data acquisition, viewing, format conversion, printing and storage. ISIS is best suited for use in high-speed document scanning drivers. TWAIN, on the other hand, is widely used in the market today. If your application program does not support ISIS, use TWAIN instead. · Dual-mode support -- Plug-in mode and Stand-alone mode. In the Plug-in mode, ScanWizard DI is launched within an image-editing or OCR application through the ISIS or TWAIN driver. In the Stand-alone mode, ScanWizard DI is launched as an independent program through the TWAIN driver. · Multiple scanning frames -- ScanWizard DI features full document scanning tools and on-screen proofing. You may assign different attributes on the subframes, and the preview option gives you a quick scan in the preview window. · Duplex scanning support -- With this feature, ScanWizard DI allows the scanning of both sides of a document at the same time. Note: This function is available only in scanners that implement this feature. · Auto-crop and auto-deskew -- The auto-crop function automatically detects the size of the original image, crops the full scan frame to fit the image, and removes unwanted black borders. The auto-deskew function automatically corrects distorted images for proper alignment. · All-in-one control panel -- ScanWizard DI's single-page overall control panel gives you the power to scan photos or documents without having to initiate a scanning session on the screen. It provides a simple and straightforward control over the scanning process. · Programmable function buttons that can be customized --ScanWizard DI lets you assign functions to function buttons for easier access. This function is available only for scanners that implement this feature.
