Scan Using Nuance™ PaperPort™ 14SE or Other Windows Applications

To Access the Scanner follow the steps listed below:

  • The instructions for scanning in these steps are for PaperPort™ 14SE. For other Windows applications, the steps will be similar. PaperPort™ 14SE supports both TWAIN and WIA drivers; the TWAIN driver (recommended) is used in these steps.
