You can use several different methods to scan with your scanner: OneTouch Scanner Buttons--Each scanner button is set up to scan for a particular function, such as Email to attach a scanned item to a new Email message, or Photo to scan photographs to the Corel Paint Shop Pro software where you can touch up the colors. See "Scan with the Scanner Buttons" on page 24. OneTouch Button Panel--Scanning from the on-screen OneTouch Button Panel is the same as pressing a scanner button, except you click an icon that represents the scanner button. See "Scan from the OneTouch Button Panel" on page 29. TWAIN Interface--This option is for scanning 35mm slides and negatives, but you can also use it to scan paper items.

The TWAIN interface has two options--the Basic Interface and the Advanced Interface. You use the Advanced Interface to scan 35mm slides and negatives. See "Scanning 35mm Slides and Negatives" on page 63 and "Scanning From the TWAIN Interface" on page 32 Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)--This option uses the Microsoft Windows set of choices for scanning paper items only.

Based on the recommended installation of PaperPort and the scanner driver, your scanner is preconfigured to scan items for various basic tasks, such as email or fax, then send the scanned image to an appropriate, pre-selected Destination Application. To change the button settings see "Selecting New Settings for a Button" on page 76. If PaperPort is not installed, then the options for sending to word processing applications such as Microsoft Word will not be available. The following table describes the preconfigured button settings.

This means you can make exact copies of your photos and documents, as well as scan 35mm slides and both positive and negative filmstrips. A NOTE ABOUT THE TWAIN STANDARD Your scanner uses the TWAIN interface to scan Photographs, Documents, 35mm Slides and Negatives. TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. The TWAIN scanning interface can be accessed from any TWAIN scanning application you have installed on the computer. Three TWAIN compliant software applications are provided with your scanner: Nuance PaperPort, Corel Paint Shop Pro, and ArcSoft Suite. This section specifically describes how to use the features of the TWAIN interface for scanning, however, the instructions in this section may use the PaperPort software as an example only. Refer to the User Guide you received with your other scanning application for instructions on setting up that application to access the TWAIN interface. As previously stated, the scanning method is the same, but you will need to your product's user guide for instructions on how to access the scanner and how file handling works. Instructions for setting up the PaperPort software to access the TWAIn interface is provided in this User's Guide.
