READY - Newsletters & Booklets includes support to allow you to place

READY projects. You'll learn how easy it is to use and how quickly
you can incorporate digital images into READY documents.
This new feature simply allows READY to communicate with your
digital imaging hardware and allows you to place digital images
directly into your READY document. Once you have brought an
image into READY, the images becomes part of the READY document.
To take advantage of this exciting new feature, you will need to have
a TWAIN compliant scanner or digital camera hooked up to your
computer. If you have questions about installing or using your
scanner or digital camera, please contact the hardware manufacturer.
To add an image from your scanner or digital camera to your document:
If you have a single TWAIN device installed to your computer
1. With a READY document open on the design desk, choose
Acquire Image from the Object menu.
This accesses your scanner or digital camera and calls up the
software which your hardware device uses to capture images. Every
scanner or digital camera has software that is unique.
2. Once the device has been accessed by READY, you simply
follow the instructions for operating the hardware.
The image or photograph you scan will be saved as a part of your
READY document.
If you have multiple TWAIN devices installed to your computer
1. With a READY document open on the design desk, choose
Select Image Source from the Object menu.
This allows you to select the scanner or digital camera you wish to
use from a list of the devices which you have previously installed
to your system.
2. After you have selected the device you wish to use, click OK to
confirm your selection and close the dialog box.
3. Select Acquire Image from the Object menu and follow the
instructions which are supplied by the scanner or digital camera's
manufacturer.
