It is designed to be easy to use, with no knowledge of TWAIN being needed to achieve results. Importing an image is done in four simple programming steps: (1) selecting the device to be used from a list generated by the control, (2) configuring any non-default settings that are required, such as resolution, image size etc., (3) acquiring the image, and finally (4) copying the image to another control for display, saving to a file, or copying to the clipboard. Acquisition of multiple images and use of automatic document feeders (ADF) is supported. Saves images as BMP, JPEG, TIFF or PDF files, including multi-page TIFFs and PDFs. Control of brightness and contrast supported.
