    If you have a problem with the scanner or other TWAIN device we recommend trying the following things:
    1. Get the latest version of the scanner's driver from the manufacturer's web site and re-install it.

    2. Make sure you have the latest version of VintaSoft Twain ActiveX.

    3. Some "bad" TWAIN drivers may fail if application tries to set "not supported" capabilities of driver.
      Try to test scanner work using our TWAIN Simple Demo because TWAIN Simple Demo is very simple application, it just scans images from scanner and does not set any device capability. All other our demos (TWAIN Advanced Demo, etc) set device capabilities.

    4. If you still have the problem, please send information about your problem to our support team and we will try to help you.
      We need:
      • Snippet of your code, working project which demonstrates the problem will be welcome
