Scanning Items
You can scan from the PaperPort software or other TWAIN
software.
Your Scanner and the TWAIN Standard
Your XEROX DocuMate 510 scanner uses the TWAIN standard for
scanning. TWAIN is a widely recognized procedure that computers
use to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other
digital devices. The PaperPort software application that you
received with your scanner uses the TWAIN standard, and this
guide shows how to scan with it. Many other graphics and imaging
applications also comply with the TWAIN standard, so you can use
your scanner with those applications too. To use your scanner with
other TWAIN-compliant software, please refer to their user guides.
If Your Computer is Running Windows ME or XP
Instead of using the TWAIN standard, your scanner can also use
Microsoft’s Windows Image Application (WIA) standard for
scanning, which is also available from other applications.
Therefore, you can use your scanner with other applications on a
computer running Windows ME or XP too. See “Scanning from
Windows ME or XP” on page 35.
Scanning from Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, or XP
The instructions in this section are for scanning with the TWAIN
software on computers running Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, or XP. If
your computer is running Windows ME or XP and you want to use
the WIA software, see “Scanning from Windows ME or XP” on
page 35.
To scan an item:
1. Load a stack of documents in the Automatic Document Feeder,
or place an item face-down on the glass and align it with the
arrow on the reference frame. See “Loading Documents to
Scan” on page 14 for details.
