如果您有扫描仪,您可能知道TWAIN标准。如今,大多数扫描设备都支持TWAIN驱动程序,因此用户可以在扫描图像时享受无忧的体验。在本文中,我们将介绍TWAIN是什么以及如何在 Windows 10计算机上安装 TWAIN 驱动程序。(install TWAIN driver on Windows 10)
什么是TWAIN,它如何(How)使图像扫描变得容易?
TWAIN是扫描设备的标准。它于 1992 年首次发布,适用于在Windows和Macintosh操作系统上运行的计算机。TWAIN的发布使图像扫描过程变得无忧无虑。在TWAIN之前,用户必须选择一个特殊的应用程序从扫描仪接收图像,然后将图像保存到磁盘。之后,他们可以在他们选择的软件中打开该图像以使用。
使用TWAIN,无需将扫描的图像保存在磁盘上。TWAIN在图像处理软件和扫描仪、数码相机等设备之间建立了通信链接。这使用户可以直接在他们用于图像处理的软件中打开扫描的图像,前提是他们在系统上安装了TWAIN驱动程序.
