Another technique for loading an ImGearPage Class object involves obtaining the image from a device, like a scanner or a camera. ImageGear supports the acquisition of images from TWAIN-compliant devices.

ImageGear supports TWAIN 2.4 and all previous versions, working with a wide variety of scanner devices, digital cameras, and video capture boards. No TWAIN toolkit is easier or more comprehensive.

ImageGear includes a wide array of methods, providing the developer with detailed control of the scanning process, including control of the following:

• TWAIN version
• TWAIN transfer mode
• Available TWAIN device listing
• Scanning area
• Brightness and contrast
• Dots-per-inch (resolution)
• Display of the TWAIN UI
• Setting an event to gain control during scanning
• ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) for multi-page scanning
• Scanner capabilities

For a complete description of how to use ImageGear TWAIN namespace, see the ImageGear.TWAIN Namespace API Reference.
