EPSON Scan Tool Light
The CX1500 is controlled from your computer using a TWAIN-compliant driver called EPSON Scan Tool Light.
EPSON Scan Tool Light controls scanning on the CX1500. With this software you can scan images in color, grayscale, or black and white and obtain professional quality results. This program is the standard cross-platform interface between the CX1500 and most applications. You can access it from any application that supports the TWAIN standard, such as Adobe Photoshop.
TWAIN is a standard for the application program interface (API) between image input devices (such as scanners) and applications which control the image input devices.
Using a TWAIN-compliant application and a TWAIN-compliant scanner with a TWAIN-compliant driver enables users to operate any scanner in the same manner.
The CX1500 is a TWAIN-compliant device. You can scan images using common TWAIN-compliant applications like Adobe Photoshop.
When you select a scan command from a TWAIN-compliant application, EPSON Scan Tool Light starts and scans the image with the specified settings.
