Hi.
I’m new to twain and I need to program an app that scans from all connected scanners automatically, every hour, without any human intervention (so no dialog).
Therefore, I need to do the following :
– get the list of connected scanners
– loop through all these scanners
– for each scanner, scan and save the file in a folder
– once the loop is over, wait for 60 min and start over.
I tried with WIA but some bug made it basically impossible.
I thought i’d try with TWAIN but to my newbie eyes, it seems so much more complicated ! 🙁Anyone has a good tutorial ?
I am particularly struggling to find how to get the list of connected scanners.
anyone can help ?
Thanks
VincentYou might want to look at a third party toolkit if you’re implementing in vb.Net. Try Twain.Net (it’s free — except for your time) http://code.google.com/p/twaindotnet/, Dynamsoft (TWG member): http://www.dynamsoft.com/, or Atalasoft (TWG board member, and full disclosure — my employer): https://www.atalasoft.com/ If you go to Atalasoft you’ll probably want to look for the DotTwain product.
