How to configure your scanner in Readiris
In order to scan documents in Readiris, your scanner must be configured correctly.
Before you configure the scanner in Readiris:
1. Make sure your scanner is connected to your computer, and switched on.
Note: the scanner should be physically connected to your computer with a USB cable. An
ethernet or wireless connection may also be used if the Twain driver supplied by the
manufacturer has been engineered with that capability.
2. Make sure you have the latest available Twain driver installed for your scanner.
In general, drivers can be found on the website of your scanner manufacturer. They are not
provided by I.R.I.S. Note that some scanner drivers may not work under the latest versions of
Windows. See the documentation supplied with your scanner to find out which platforms are
supported. If necessary, contact your scanner manufacturer.
Configuration
• Click the down arrow beneath Scan in the ribbon.
• Then click Settings.
• When you do this for the first time, the Scanner Model list appears automatically.
In this list you select your scanner profile. The scanner profiles allow you to access features
specific to your scanner. For example, duplex scanning.
Do not worry if you don't see your scanner in the list; not all scanners have specific scanner
profiles.
Important note: in case you don't find the exact same profile, do not select a profile that
resembles it. Instead, select a universal Twain profile. Different Twain profiles are available:
Select <Twain><OTHER MODELS> when you are using a regular, flatbed scanner.
Select <Twain><OTHER MODELS>(User interface) if you want to use your scanner user
interface to scan documents instead of Readiris.
Select <Twain><OTHER MODELS with duplex feeder> when you are using a duplex
scanner, which scans both the front and backside of a page.
