EchoNoise Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Some Scanners have API Functions built into them... You'll have togo onto the manufacturers site and try and find a developers document or something...Not much help, but yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobby Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Yes you can, if using Windows XP search for WIA (Windows Imaging Aquisition) or TWAIN if 98 onwards.Be aware, its not as simple as you may think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayOK Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 A quick search on PSC for 'twain' returned a few scanner examples. A quick glance shows they use the API calls (twain32.dll) too! Good stuff. I don't think you have to login but if you do it's easy registration. Worth it too. And if you don't wanna register, let me know and I will download it for ya. twain on PSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
