Software Guide (Scanning)

scanner driver

Software for controlling the scanner. The printer is provided with two drivers: The

ScanGear MP and the WIA driver (for use with Windows XP).

TWAIN (Technology without an interested name)

Industry-standard protocol for transferring information from devices such as scanners

and digital cameras to a computer.

Industry-standard protocol for an application programming interface (API) for input

devices such as scanners. If both the device and the application comply with the

standard, they will be compatible regardless of differences in manufacturer or model.

For example, with TWAIN-compatible image-processing software, you can start the

scanner’s TWAIN driver (ScanGear MP) from the software’s menu, scan the document

and return the scanned image to its original image-processing software.

WIA (Windows Image Acquisition)

Standard for downloading images from scanners or digital cameras. The printer

includes a TWAIN-compliant driver (ScanGear MP) and a WIA-compliant driver. The WIA-

driver can only be used with Windows XP. With either driver, you can scan documents

with the printer in applications which support the TWAIN interface (Photoshop etc.).
