Scanning Images into Your Projects

The Print Shop lets you scan images directly into your projects. Use the Acquire command from the File menu to initiate a TWAIN image acquisition session using the currently active TWAIN compliant device, such as a scanner, on your system. These devices and their software interfaces are not part of The Print Shop and must be installed separately.

NOTE: Only TWAIN compliant scanners work with The Print Shop. If your scanner is not TWAIN compliant, you will have to scan the image using your scanner software, save it, and then import it into your project using the Imported Image command from the Insert menu.

To acquire an image:

  1. Make sure you have correctly installed at least one TWAIN compliant device and its accompanying software.

  2. Choose Select Image Source from the File menu and select your scanner's software. Click OK.

  3. Choose Acquire from the File menu.

  4. A dialog provided by the device manufacturer is displayed, in which you may adjust the parameters available for that device.

  5. When you complete your setup, the image is inserted into your project.
