    IG_TWAIN_source_close
    In This Topic

    This function closes the currently opened Data Source.

    Declaration:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_TWAIN_source_close()
    

    Arguments:

    None

    Return Value:

    Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call. If there are no errors, the return value is IGE_SUCCESS.

    Supported Raster Image Formats:

    This function does not process image pixels.

    Remarks:

    When an application is finished with a Data Source, it must formally close the session between them using this function. This is necessary in case the Data Source only supports connection with a single application (many desktop scanners will behave this way). A Data Source such as this cannot be accessed by other applications until its current session is terminated.
