Can TWAIN be used for direct control of scanner head movemen

[Anonymous]

So I am trying to find out if this is possible before I dive into programming this. I would like to use an old scanner in a robotics project. Instead of tearing it apart and using my own stepper controller it would be nice to use TWAIN to control the stepper controller built into the scanner. So is it possible to get to a low enough level with TWAIN to move the scanner head to a specific position and then have it stop there. Then move it to another position and stop there? If this is not possible with TWAIN is there any other methods that this would be possible with such as HP’s Scanner Control Language? Any direction would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Jack Gassett

I havent seem any part of the twain spec that deals with the movement you’re talking about

And I’m sorry to say, I don’t know of any other direction to take.
