Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Is it possible from a TWAIN application to know if a scanner is a flatbed scanner or not?

TWAIN-- Standard for image acquisition devices.
Answer: Yes, it is. If CAP_FEEDERENABLED is not supported or it is but it cannot be set to true then it is safe to assume the scanner is a flatbed-only device (at least, this is the functionality that can be accessed from its TWAIN Data Source). If CAP_FEEDERENABLED is supported and can be set to true then the scanner is equipped with a feeder. If CAP_AUTOFEED is supported and can be set to true then the feeder is an automatic document feeder (ADF).

What is the difference between "ISIS" and "TWAIN" scanner protocols and why doesn't CFC use "TWAIN"?

Solomon Institute Corporation - FAQ
Several years ago Pixtran developed software drivers for most all of the high-speed scanners and named them "ISIS".

Yes, provided that your scanner or digital still image camera has a TWAIN driver.

What to do if my scanner is not supported by Mac OS X? Does it support TWAIN?

FAQs
If your scanner does not come with an Image Capture compliant scanner drive, you could have a look at TWAIN-SANE.
