| TwainPRO 9 for ActiveX - User Guide > How To > Debug |
If you have a problem with a Twain device we recommend trying the following things:
Get the latest version of the scanner's drivers from the manufacturer's web site and re-install them.
Get the latest Twain Data Source Manager files from www.Twain.org and put them in your windows directory (NOT the windows\system directory). Also, make sure you don't have older versions of those DLLs or EXEs anywhere else in your path.
Make sure you have the latest version of TwainPRO™.
If you still have a problem with a particular scanner, let us know, but remember, not all TWAIN capabilities are supported by all devices and there are TWAIN drivers out there that have bugs in them and are not fully TWAIN compliant.
There are a couple of reasons this issue may be occurring:
Please make sure that you call OpenSession before setting the capabilities. For example:
| Example |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
TwainPRO1.SelectSource
TwainPRO1.ShowUI = False
TwainPRO1.OpenSession
|
|
Not all TWAIN devices support all TWAIN capabilities. Because of this, you must check to see if a TWAIN capability is supported by your device before setting it.
To do this, TwainPRO™ provides a method called CapSupported, which will return True if the capability is supported and False if not. Note that if a scanner supports a capability, it might only support getting it and does not necessarily support setting it.
Below is an example of how to check this property:
| Example |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
TwainPRO1.Capability = ICAP_PIXELTYPE If (TwainPRO1.CapSupported) Then ' If setting capability is supported this code will be executed End If |
|
Kofax VirtualReScan (VRS) works best with an ISIS driver and only supports some scanners with TWAIN drivers. Documentation for Kofax VRS can be found at www.kofax.com.

TWERR_TWAIN |
Twain error, check ErrorCode & ErrorDescription properties. The Data Source has returned an error. Check the ErrorCode and ErrorDescription properties to see if the Data Source has returned an error code. |
|
7001 |
TWERR_TINIT |
Can't find or load TWAIN DSM (TWAINDSM.dll, Version 2). The 32-bit version should be installed in the SYSTEM32 directory on native 32-bit Windows systems. On native 64-bit Windows systems, the 32-bit version should be installed in the SYSWOW64 directory. The latest version can be found at www.twain.org. Possible causes: The file is missing. The file is in use by another application. |
|
7002 |
TWERR_FILEOPEN |
TwainPRO can’t open an existing TIFF file to append pages. Possible causes: The file is open in another control or application. The file is read-only. |
|
7003 |
TWERR_MEMORYALLOC |
TwainPRO was unable to allocate memory for the requested operation. Possible causes: The image being transferred is too large to fit in memory. Too many applications are open. |
|
7004 |
TWERR_CANCELLED |
The user cancelled the requested operation. Possible causes: The user clicked the cancel button on the source selection dialog invoked by the SelectSource method. |
|
7005 |
TWERR_CREATEFILE |
TwainPRO was unable to create the file specified in the SaveFile method. Possible causes: The drive or path specified doesn’t exist. The file exists and is in use by another application. No file extension or an invalid file extension was specified. |
|
7006 |
TWERR_FILEWRITE |
An error occurred while TwainPRO was attempting to save a file to the path specified in the SaveFile method. Possible causes: The drive or path became invalid during the write. This can occur if the drive is a network drive. The disk is full. |
|
7007 |
TWERR_FORMATNOTSUPPORTED |
A file extension for specified for a file type not supported by TwainPRO. Supported file types are: BMP, JPEG, ePIC, and TIFF. |
|
7008 |
TWERR_BADLENGTH |
A string with too many characters was set to a TwainPRO property. Possible causes: The application identity properties can accept a maximum length of 32 characters. The PICPassword property can accept a maximum length of 8 characters. |
|
7009 |
TWERR_BADVALUE |
The value is out of range. An invalid value was set to a TwainPRO property. Possible causes: Many TwainPRO properties can only accept values in a specified range. For example, the SaveJPEGLumFactor property must be in the range 0-255. |
|
7010 |
TWERR_NODIB |
No image is available for the requested operation or an unsupported DIB format was returned in response to a StartSession. Possible causes: The hDIB property has already been read. The SaveFile method was invoked after the hDIB property was read. |
|
7011 |
TWERR_NOPICFILES |
The required Accusoft dll file(s) are missing. Possible causes: Accusoft dll files are required when saving JPEG, ePIC, or TIFF files. They are listed in the dependencies section. |
|
7012 |
TWERR_NONETFILES |
The required Internet dll file(s) are missing. Possible causes: The following files are not present on the system. These files are not shipped with TwainPRO and are not needed unless an FTP address is specified in the SaveFile method. These files are included with other software such as Internet Explorer, and if the machine has a TCP/IP connection, it should have these files:
|
|
7013 |
TWERR_FTP |
An error occurred trying to FTP an image. Possible causes: The machine is not currently connected to a network. The FTPUserName and/or FTPPassword properties are not correct for the requested host specified in the SaveFile method. The host and or path specified in the SaveFile method doesn’t exist. The path was not specified in the SaveFile method. A fully qualified URL containing both the servername and file path must be specified. For example, "http://ftp.myserver.com/ftp/public/test.jpg" contains both the server and file information, but "http://ftp.myserver.com" does not. |
|
7014 |
TWERR_TSEQERROR |
Illegal operation for current Source Manager or Source state. The requested action cannot be performed in the current state of the Twain session. Possible causes: Certain methods and properties are only valid during certain states. For example, the DataSourceList property is invalid unless the OpenDSM method was called to open the Data Source Manager. |
|
7015 |
TWERR_BADINDEX |
The requested index was out of range for the property array. |
|
7016 |
TWERR_WRONGCAPTYPE |
A property was set or queried that was not valid for the current capability type. Please see the Negotiate Capabilities section for more information. |
|
7017 |

|
7020 |
TWERR_NOTAVAILABLE |
The property requested is not currently available. Possible causes: This error is returned when the CapAdvanced property is being used and the requested capability function is not available. For instance, this error will be returned when the Capability property is set to TP_Capability_UseCapAdvanced and the property CapDesc is accessed. The CapDesc property is only available for the enumerated Capability values. Also this error will be returned when the Capability property is set to TP_Capability_UseCapAdvancedFOREXTINFO and the "Cap...Out" properties are accessed. |
|
7021 |
TWERR_NOIMAGE |
No compressed image is available for the requested operation or an unsupported compressed image format was returned in response to a StartSession. Possible causes: The hImage property has already been read. The SaveFile method was invoked after the hImage property was read. |
|
7022 |
TWERR_DSINVALIDOP |
The Data Source performed an operation that caused an exception. This error is a critical error. If this error is received then the application should be terminated immediately. No other TwainPRO calls should be made after this error is received. This does give the application the chance to do any non-TWAIN clean-up processing as well as inform the user that a critical error has occurred. Possible causes: The Data Source TWAIN driver executed an illegal operation, such as an illegal memory access, a divide by zero, etc. |
