Connect a Scanner
You can use NextGen® Document Management with any TWAIN-compliant scanner or imaging device.
Note: NextGen® Document Management does not support network-based scanners or scanners that save images on network drives instead of on the local disk. If you use a network-based scanner, you must save images in the TIFF (.tif) format.
- Install the TWAIN driver for the scanner or an imaging device on the computer where NextGen® Document Management is installed.
Note: You can download the TWAIN driver from the scanner manufacturer's website.
- Connect a cable from the scanner to a USB, SCSI, or parallel port on the NextGen® Document Management computer.
Note: You must use the fastest connection to connect the scanner to the computer. With a faster connection, you can scan large images such as X-rays. A USB or SCSI connection increases the scanning speed, but a parallel port connection reduces the scanning speed.You can now use the scanner with NextGen® Document Management.
