Press connect button to connect remote computer and get list of available scanners and settings for selected scanner.

This combo box contains list of available scanners on remote computer. When you change selected scanner RemoteTwain requests settings for selected scanner.

If scanner supports several sources (e.g. flatbed and document feeder) this option allows to appropriate on.

ADF is Automatic Document Feeder

Shows resolutions that selected scanner supports. As a rule at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) is a recommended resolution for documents. Most OCR engines will be able to recognize correctly characters on documents with such resolution. Selecting higher resolution will lead to slower scanning although the quality will be better.

 

Shows color mode that scanner supports. Usually: Black/White, Gray or Color.  If black and white images with better quality are required use “Image Enhancement” feature instead of scanning with Black/White color mode. To use it select Gray color mode and go to “Image enhancement” tab and check “Binarize” and “All images” options. Please see details about image enhancement features available in RemoteTwain in topic “Image Enhancement”.

Some scanners allow selecting orientation and scanner driver will automatically rotate images according this option. If selected scanner does not support this option Rotate feature from “Image Enhancement” tab can be used, please see topic about image enhancement.

Most scanners allow selecting paper size and either A4, Letter or any other documents supported by selected scanner can be chosen.

 

Allows selecting simplex (one side of paper) or duplex (both sides) mode to scan if scanner supports.

TWAIN compliant application can either show TWAIN scanner configuration dialog or do not show it. If option “Always show UI” is selected application will always show RemoteTwain configuration dialog. If option is unchecked scan application will not ask TWAIN driver to show configuration dialog different configuration will not be possible. Although this option can be always reverted back by changing RemoteTwain INI file ( In Microsoft Windows 7 it is available at <SYSTEM DRIVE>:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\ScanWorks\RemoteTwain\remotetwain.ini ). Change settings as it is shown below.
