Scan only ONE page although multiple are in feeder?

Hi,

I'm using vintasoft twain library V 5.
I have one of those "Bad" Scanner, Brother MFC-8220 (Shows Twain Version 1.9). When scanning more than one page in the feeder, only the last one will show up.
Is it possible to scan only page from the feeder although more than one is in the feeder or is that something automated by the printer that we can't control?
The idea is that if we can't make the multiple-page scan work without the scanner UI, maybe we can scan one page at a time and simulate regular feeder behavior?

Thanks
Sam

Hello Sam,

Sorry for a delay.

Yes, with "bad" scanners you should try to disable feeder and scan images one by one.

Hi,

I also have this problem, this is the sequence of events:
- I placed 2 pages of ADF
- start acquire
- get the first image (correctly)
- get the second image, and the first one is also a copy of second
- result 2 pages with the content of the second scanned page

If you get the first one correctly how it can happen that it is overwritten? Is this because of twain?
Maybe you can make a smart work around ;)

Hello,

What scanner do you have? Please generate log-file of scanner's work and send it to support@vintasoft.com.

Here are steps which you should do to generate a log-file of scanner's work:
  • Set the IsLoggingEnabled property to True before the StartDevice method.
  • Set the path to log-file with the LogFilePath property if path "c:\vstwain.log" is not accessible by your application.
  • Run your application.
  • Send us a log-file and detailed description of the problem.
Best regards, Alexander
