This program is the standard cross-platform interface between this product and most applications. You can access it from any application that supports the TWAIN standard.
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.
This product is a TWAIN-compliant device. You can scan images using a TWAIN-compliant image processing application.
You can also scan images using common TWAIN-compliant applications such as Adobe Photoshop.
While in a TWAIN-compliant application, when you select a scan command to scan an image, EPSON Scan Tool Light starts and scans the image with the specified settings.
