Running the OmniPage Scanner Wizard

If you are unable to scan with the Automatic Document Feeder using the Twain driver in Omnipage, you need to run the OmniPage Scanner Wizard first.

1. Click on [Start], [Programs], [ScanSoft OmniPage SE 2.0], then [Scanner Wizard].
   
   
   
   
2. Click [Next].
   
   
   
   
3. Choose [Twain}, then click [Next].
   
   
   If the Twain driver is not listed, click on [Other drivers...] and add it.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Click [Yes], then [Next] to test the scanner.
   
   
   
   
5. Put the "check mark" in [Configure Advanced Settings], then click [Next].
   
   
   
   
6. Choose "Show native user-interface" and then click [Next].
   
   
   
   
7. Click [Next].
   
   
   
   
8. Make sure there is a "checkmark" in the box marked "with automatic document feeder (ADF)".
   
   
   
   
9. Click on [Next] for the next four windows and then click [Finish].
   
   
   
10. Now you will be able to put a "checkmark" in the box "Use Automatic Document Feeder".
