IDEALScanOS supports Twain or Isis compliant scanners. They can be controlled from the Scan Station menu ScanèTwain or ScanèIsis.
To use a TWAIN or ISIS compliant scanner in IDEALScanOS, you first have to install the driver on your PC. Please refer to the documentation that came with the scanner. It is recommended to test the driver installation on the program that came with the scanner.
Back in IDEALScanOS, you then have to select the scanner. This is done by clicking the menu item ScanèTwainèSelect Scanner for TWAIN scanners or by clicking the menu item ScanèIsisèSelect Scanner for ISIS scanners.
This will bring up a small dialog box with a list of all installed TWAIN/ISIS scanners. Select your scanner from that list and hit OK. This procedure must be performed each time you restart IDEALScanOS or each time you want to switch from one scanner to another.
To scan a single page document with your TWAIN scanner select the menu item ScanèTwainèScanèSingle Page. To scan a single page document with your ISIS scanner select the menu item ScanèIsisèScanèSingle Page.
To scan a multi-page document with your TWAIN scanner select the menu item ScanèTwainèScanèMultipage. To scan a multi-page document with your ISIS scanner select the menu item ScanèIsisèScanèMultipage.
For both types of scanners this will bring up the native scanner control panel. How to operate this panel and the look of this panel varies from scanner to scanner. Different scanners will also have different features. Please refer to the documentation that came with the scanner.
