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.
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
When you scan a document with the TWAIN driver, you cannot save it in multi-page TIFF format. After scanning the file with the TWAIN driver, change the file format.
Basic Procedure for Using the TWAIN Scanner
Start a TWAIN supported application on the computer.
In some applications, specify the machine as the scanner to use in the setting screen such as the scanner settings.
Display the configuration screen of the TWAIN driver.
Specifying the original orientation.
To display the scanned pages in the correct vertical orientation on the computer, specify the orientation that matches the orientation of the original placed on the machine in the TWAIN driver.

If there are more originals to be scanned, place the next original.
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 [Use a specific scanner.] check box, and then specify the IP address or host name of the scanner you want to use.
