Scanning Images

You can scan images directly into the HiJaak PRO main screen, the Windows Clipboard or copy them directly to a printer or file from TWAIN compatible hardware using HiJaak Scan.

TWAIN is a protocol developed by leading graphics hardware and software developers that allows you to create a computer file from an image acquired from a TWAIN-compatible hardware device such as a scanner. Using OLE 2.0 or the Windows Clipboard, you can then import these images into your documents, presentations, spreadsheets, etc.

To use TWAIN in HiJaak Scan, you must first select the graphics hardware from which you will acquire the image, then you can import the image. The following types of hardware are compatible with TWAIN:

 Desktop Scanners

 Hand-held Scanners

 Slide Scanners

 Frame Grabbers

 Digital Cameras
