Getting photos from a scanner (TWAIN)
ACDSee's Get Photos Wizard guides you through the process of downloading files from your scanner. You can preview the images you want to download, and specify a location for them on your hard drive.
To use the Get Photos Wizard, your scanner needs to use Windows Imaging Acquisition or TWAIN.
To download photos from a scanner:
Connect your scanner to your computer. Make sure your scanner is turned on, and the cable is properly connected to your computer.
Click File | Get Photos, and select From Scanner.
On the Welcome page, select the Skip this step next time check box to bypass the Welcome page the next time you use the wizard. Click Next when you are ready to continue.
On the Source Device page, select TWAIN from the Type list. In the Device list, select the specific name of the scanner from which to download your files. Click Next when you are ready to continue.
On the File Format Options page, select a file format to save your images. You can click the Options button to select any file-specific options available for your chosen format. Note that not every file format has additional options. Click Next when you are ready to continue.
Finally, on the Output Options page, specify whether you want to rename your acquired images using a name template, and where to place them on your hard drive. When you are ready, click Next to copy your images.
Select Browse to your images if you want to view the files in the Browser, and click Finish to return to ACDSee.
