I agree, and the reason is possibly (probably) that a document scanner vendor needs to have a proper Twaindriver because Twain is the defacto standard to use document scanners. Good drivers means 3rd party SW runs good and by this specific vendors with good drivers is recommended by xxx SW vendor which in turn gives increased sales. But with MFDs there is another way around which is a better way to work. The MFDs are typically very good at placing files on some folder on the network (per user). Using functionallity like DocServer you will have automatically prosessing of the scanned documents, like barcode recognition, OCR, PDF/A and so on so an automatic documentflow is very easy to setup. And the panels on the MFD is typically easy to setup/program for individual needs.
PixEdit would convert everything for you correct, automatically
There is application(s) able to do cleaning as good as VRS and even more. Know of PixEdit which all kinds of stuff for optimizing scanned images. And it can do this on any scanner and even any file since this functionallity runs on an openend image wherever this comes from scanned, opened file, an MFP or whatever. Automatic determination of greyscale, BW, color page, filtering, deskew, blank page removal, PDF/A and a great feature called PDF/A Compact which makes really small files even when color on pages. Some kind of layering or dividing up the pages in areas. Unbeatable editing like WYSIWYG reordring og pages even between documents and a heck of a lot of other stuff. The ggod thing is also it can use any Twaindriver for all this, you do not need any special expensive stuff like VRS, dedicated hardware boards or anything since it scans in full speed from modern documents scanners using their built-in compression – only connect through standard USB. Has also full programing interface DDE and ActiveX.
Which scanner is this ? I haven’t seen any yet from the major manufacturers, Fujitsu, Canon, Panasonic …
RegardsYou’re probably scanning in uncompressed mode. Switch to compressed
Why re-invent the wheel ? There is off the shelf applications doing this and much more. Like opening a mulitpage PDF/TIFF to separate pages and vice verca. Even scan all pages of a A4 magazin in a feeder duplex as A3, rotation the images, split the pages, reorganize the pages to readable book, do changes on the pages, and running in reverse and priint duplex on an A3 MPF so you have it back. And anything else you like

ISIS drivers are sable but so is good Twaindrivers also. Twaindrivers for “professional” scanners are stable and good. No limitations in Twain, just how much work the manufacturer puts into the driver. Usually there is no problem controlling all features by Twain, specific features are controlled by custom capabilities. Twain has often a bad reputation of beeing less stable than ISIS but lokk at it this way : The unstable Twain drivers with little funtionallity is the low-end scanners like you buy in a shopping center and there is no ISIS drivers for them. So basicly, profesional scanner you can use either Twain or ISIS – your choice. Then you have the 100s or whatever scanners where you have no choice – only Twaindrivers exists. And have you ever seen an ISIS driver to a MFP (copy-machine) ? Possible there is some but I have never seen any. New MFPs will have high-speed scanning (dual sensors for duplex scanning) and customers do not need to buy an expensive document scanner – they can you their MFP in the future.
Anyone have the specification for Kodak custome capabilities ? 😀
Anyone seen a native 64 bit driver for a real scanner yet ?
Better way is to scan full resolution jpeg compressed an let the application work on the pages afterwards to determine if each page should be converted to greyscale, black and white and so on, and to reduce resoluton on the greyscale and color pages if required. Even better is to use like PDF/A Compact which compressed colorpage way down, if not much data on them it is nearly like black and white scans. Then you are not dependent on specific scanners supporting multiimage scans, there is alos difference in functionallity and many limitations in the scanners if “mulit-image” is enable. Thrust me, stay away from it for a long time yet.
Why use VRS ? Skip the cost and do everthing in the application. Modern documentsscanners delivers jpeg compressed data so a straight forward USB connection is more than enough to drive even high-speed scanners at full speed. A good app uses the mulitcore in modern PCs to scan and process the documents at the same time
No need to use ISIS. Much more Twaindriver. Have you ever seen an ISIS driver to a MFC (copying machine) ?
Demo with PixEdit, it also read many Dicom format images
You need a professional progam like PixEdit which drive scanners at full speed utilizing compression in scanner whatever the driver supports, in file transfer mode, memory mode … Using this yu do not need expensive stuff like VRS, everything you need is inside the application not in the driver.
