In a recent issue of Answers to Questions, TechnoLawyer member Gregory Jones asked about the disadvantages of the ScanSnap, which apparently does not support the TWAIn standard. In response, TechnoLawyer member Roy Jordan writes: "I have many applications that use the twain interface to import scanned images. I can use the scanner to fax from my desktop using WinFax Pro, scan photos to photoshop or into a PowerPoint presentation, scan directly into PDF format through PaperPort Office 9. I don't want to lose the functionality of all these programs which can use the twain driver to import the images."
