EPSON TWAIN

EPSON TWAIN is the software driver that lets you control your scanner.

When you select a scan command in a TWAIN-compliant application, it activates EPSON TWAIN to scan the image according to the specified settings.

While the application may appear to be controlling your scanner, it is EPSON TWAIN which is actually doing the job.

You can use the EPSON TWAIN screen to specify various settings for scanning.

You can operate EPSON TWAIN in the same way on both Windows and Macintosh. This guide explains the operation procedure using Windows examples.
