Introduction

EPSON®TWAIN is the interface program between your application

software and scanner that lets you scan images into your software. It is

the ideal interface for producing professional quality images, scanning

text into optical character recognition (OCR) programs, and managing

text pages in NewSoft™ Presto!™ PageManager™.

EPSON TWAIN includes many features for previewing and modifying

your images for the perfect scan:

◗Captures all kinds of image types, from black and white text to 36-bit

color images

◗Automatically locates and exposes the image

◗Opens a preview image allowing you to change settings and view their

effects before you scan

◗Provides a helpful marquee feature so you can frame the exact image

borders or only portions of it for scanning

◗Uses EPSON’s Auto Area Segmentation and Text Enhancement

Technology features to improve text recognition and provide clear

separation from graphic areas when you scan images with text

◗Gives you predefined settings for a variety of image types and output

destinations and lets you customize your own settings
