9-4 Using KODAK Drivers with Windows Applications — PC

4. If it has not been configured to start automatically, start Microsoft

Windows by typing

WIN at the DOS prompt (C:\>) and pressing Enter.

NOTE: As you use a variety of TWAIN compliant software, it may be helpful to

know how the TWAIN specifications expect applications to perform. The specifi-

cations provide for a consistent software interface by encouraging software

developers to include two specific commands — S

ELECT SOURCE and ACQUIRE — on

the FILE menu. The specification intends that users should first choose SELECT

SOURCE which should display a list of TWAIN compliant device drivers installed

on the system. After the user selects a driver from the list, he/she should be

returned to the application. The user should then choose A

CQUIRE which should

open access to the device and allow the user to obtain image data. However, all

software does not implement the specifications as intended.

IMPORTANT: Some image-editing software takes all available RAM by default at

start-up. The TWAIN driver will not work if this occurs. To avoid the problem, set

the memory preference for your application (often found on the F

ILE menu) so that

there is at least one megabyte of free RAM.

Adobe Photoshop 2.5 and 3.0 for Windows

Once you have installed the TWAIN driver(s) as described in Chapter 7,

and are in Windows, you use the driver by following these steps.

NOTE: Refer to the “Important” statement just above.

1. Run Adobe Photoshop for Windows.

2. Choose S

ELECT TWAIN SOURCE on the ACQUIRE submenu on the Adobe

Photoshop F

ILE menu; the SELECT SOURCE dialog box appears.

3. Click the scanner choice.

4. Click S

ELECT; you are returned to Adobe Photoshop.

NOTE: The choice of source, and other settings you establish while using the

driver, are maintained in a preferences file for the TWAIN compliant driver;

you do not need to repeat steps 2 through 4 each time you use the driver.
