NOTE: this version of the file is the same as the previous version (originally posted 4/7/04) except for the installer. Because of the lack of a user interface with these alternative TWAIN drivers, and thus no opportunity (except in some applications) to change the scan settings, this software will not be ideal for all customers. However, it should be noted that some applications, like ScanSoft's PaperPort, rely heavily on the host scanner's TWAIN user interface to change settings such as resolution, color level and page size. In most cases the software used with these TWAIN drivers will control the scanning process and the results will be completely satisfactory. Moreover, alternative TWAIN drivers offer users a streamlined workflow for heavy document management and require less hard drive space for installation than hp photo and imaging scanning software.īefore installing and using the alternative TWAIN drivers, users should be aware that no user interface is supplied with the TWAIN drivers.
