Usage Notes

HighStone will check for availability of the necessary component file before initiating the relevant scanning function - and will give a non-fatal warning message if the component has not been installed.
There is a very wide range of TWAIN scanning devices available on the market and there is no guarantee that any particular device will be compatible (in part or in full) with the component library. However DotTWAIN is known to operate satisfactorily with a very wide range of devices and provided the intended scanner is comparatively modern and includes a TWAIN compatibility it would be expected to be compatible. Claremont Controls have tested the component library with a limited number of desk-top scanners and have found integration satisfactory.
