Scanning Documents into an Application on a Computer Using TWAIN
Use the TWAIN scanner from a computer to scan the original placed on the machine into an application that supports TWAIN.
Connect the machine to the network and install the TWAIN driver in advance.
Installing the TWAIN/WIA Driver
TWAIN supporting application
To use the TWAIN scanner, install an application that supports TWAIN on the computer. Various image editing applications support TWAIN. For the installation and operation procedure of each application, see the use manual provided with the application.
The TWAIN driver operates in 32-bit mode. On a computer running an operating system in 64-bit mode, use an application operating in 32-bit mode.
Connect the machine and computer in the same network segment as shown below.
The IP addresses of the machine and computer match except in the last number "ddd" in "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd"
The machine is connected via the link local address when using IPv6
You cannot specify the file format as multi-page TIFF when you use the TWAIN driver to scan. Change the file format of the document after saving it.

If you are scanning another page, place it in the same location and continue scanning until all pages are scanned.
If you have already selected a scanner, you do not need to select the scanner unless you want to change it.
The model name of the connected scanner appears in the title bar of the Scanner Control dialog box. If there is more than one scanner of the same model on the network, make sure you have selected the correct scanner. If you have not, click [Selct. Specfd. Scnnr.], and then select the scanner again. If the correct scanner does not appear in the list, check that the scanner is correctly connected to the network and that its IPv4 or IPv6 address has been specified. If the correct scanner still does not appear; in the Network Connection Tool that is installed with the TWAIN driver, select the [Specify scanner(s) to use.] check box, and then specify the IP address or host name of the scanner you want to use. For details, see Network Connection Tool Help.
The Blank Page Detect function is not available when you are using the TWAIN scanner.
When the machine is used as a TWAIN scanner, the screen switches automatically to the initial scanner screen as you use the client computer to scan a document using the TWAIN driver. Press [Exit] to use functions other than TWAIN scanner.
