Launching from another program
If you are creating a project such as a greeting card or a
calendar, and want to include a picture from a
photograph, you might be able to scan the photograph
directly into the program you are using. To do this, the
program must have a TWAIN command such as
Acquire
, which is probably on one of its main menus.
1
Open the program in which you will place the
scanned image.
2
If necessary, select the program’s
Select Source
command and choose
HP PrecisionScan Pro
.
3
Select the program’s TWAIN command.
After the scanning software window appears, the
scanner automatically performs a
Preview
scan and
displays the preview image.
4
Create a selection area in the preview image, make
necessary adjustments, and select
Return to
<application>
from the
Scan
menu. The final scan
occurs and the image is placed in the calling
program.
TWAIN is an industry-standard communications
protocol for sending instructions to hardware
(such as a scanner) and receiving data back (such
as an image). If you are using a program that
supports TWAIN, you can start
HP PrecisionScan Pro
directly from that program.
■
HP ScanJet scanners and HP scanning software
can use TWAIN, but the programs you use to
create projects may not be TWAIN-compatible.
■
If a program can use TWAIN, it should have a
command named
Acquire
,
Acquire Image
, or
Import
on one of its main menus, usually the
File
menu.
■
Selecting one of these commands launches the
scanning software selected with the
Select Source
command.
■
Editable text cannot be transferred using TWAIN.
