    Does the scanner has a "Twain" interface?

    Twain is (was) a standard interface to exchange data between programs and scanners and some video capture devices for still images. A lot of scanners where having a Twain interface and a lot of scanner programs where using a Twain interface. VB users can use some Twain API’s to get some data from the scanner. In W2K is a MS program “Imaging” that is using a Twain interface. So read the spec’s of your scanner if Twain is supported.

    My scanner is hp "psc1210 all in one".
    I think it is supported Twain Interface. And now, what can I do? Can you show me sample examples?
