PMView Pro Forums _ PMView - OS/2 Technical Support _ TWAIN

Posted by: Mark Apr 2 2000, 08:52 PM

I have registered copies of both PMView2k and Impos/2. I mostly use Impos/2 for scanning. They use TWAIN drivers from either CFM or STi. I think probably from CFM. Is there any way for PMView to use the installed TWAIN drivers from my Impos/2 installation?

Mark,

If you're using STi TWAIN, you'll have a file called TWAIN.DLL somewhere. If you're using CFM TWAIN, you'll have a file called TWAINOS2.DLL somewhere.

Make sure that one of these files are in your LIBPATH. If you have STi TWAIN you also need to make sure that there is a "TWAIN" environment variable pointing at the location where STi TWAIN is installed.

No other settings should be needed for PMView to see your TWAIN driver.

Peter,

Thanks for your quick reply!

Neither of these files appear. The driver for my scanner appears to be the file SCNHP.DRV.

Mark,

Yes, that's what I thought . AFAIK, Impos/2 uses a home-brewed scanner interface. It does not provide a standard TWAIN mechanism. If this was the case, then you would have a TWAIN.DLL file somewhere. (Or TWAINOS2.DLL in the case of CFM since CFM decided to go with a non-standard file name...)

Too bad.

Thanks for the help.
