TWAIN is an industry accepted, yet flexible standard for communicating with PC peripherals such as scanners and cameras. The TWAIN standard is not a strict standard and hardware vendors may declare their devices are TWAIN compatible because they have implemented and tested a few functions defined in the TWAIN standard. However, there are multiple functions in the TWAIN standard and not all functions are required. Therefore a hardware manufacturer may be accurate in their statement that a particular model is TWAIN compliant, and still may not support all required TWAIN functions needed to work with RDA. To help increase the number of scanners that will be compatible with RDA, our provider has developed an alternative method of getting

images from scanners called Windows Image Acquisition (WIA). This method may be available for some scanner models as well. It requires.net 2.0 be installed on the user's PC and will install it if it is not. If the.net installation does not succeed on the user s PC then RDA will not work. Even with these two methods of image capture, not all scanners will be compatible with RDA.
