1 System requirements
The SnapTwain TWAIN driver is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and
Windows 11 and can be used with the following scanner models
 Fujitsu PFU ScanSnap iX100
 Fujitsu PFU ScanSnap S1300i
 Fujitsu PFU ScanSnap SV600
To do this, the software supplied with the scanner, ScanSnap Manager, must be installed and running. The
Fujitsu PFU is displayed in the Windows system bar. The ScanSnap Manager icon must be blue . If it is
gray, the scanner is not ready for use and the TWAIN driver cannot be used.
From version 1.20 of SnapTwain, ScanSnap Home is supported in addition to ScanSnap Manager. This
software from Fujitsu FPU is supplied with the current scanner models. If you are using an older scanner
model, please ensure that you are using the latest version of ScanSnap Manager, as older versions may be
incompatible with SnapTwain.
SnapTwain supports the above scanners whether they are connected via USB or Wifi.
If you use another model of the ScanSnap scanner family, the function is not excluded but not tested and
not guaranteed by JSE. Please test your scanner with the free demo version of SnapTwain before purchasing
a license. If ScanSnap Manager or ScanSnap Home does not support your scanner, SnapTwain will not work.
2 Download
Download the installation program setup.exe from the URL
http://www.jse.de/download/SnapTwainSetup.exe and save it locally. Please use SnapTwain only if you
downloaded it from this URL. Otherwise the authenticity and actuality of the software cannot be
guaranteed. The genuine driver is signed by JSE Imaging Solutions UG.
3 Installation
Start SnapTwainSetup.exe. The installation program is signed by JSE Imaging Solutions. However, depending
on your version of Windows, you may need to confirm that you trust the source and want to install the
program.
In the setup program, the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA) is displayed first. For the use of
SnapTwain your agreement is necessary.

In the next dialog, please confirm the start of the installation. The files required for the driver are then
installed on your mass storage device.
After the installation you will receive important information.

When you have read them and left the dialog by pressing Next, you will see the TWAIN Driver completion
dialog.
When the Finish button is clicked, the installation is complete and you are ready to use the SnapTwain
driver.
When the copying process is complete, press the Finish button to exit the setup program.
After installation, the SnapTwain driver is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. The drivers
cannot be accessed directly, but only from TWAIN-enabled applications.
However, there are entries for SnapTwain in the Windows Start menu.

This is the user manual you are currently reading and two utilities for possible tests.
If you have purchased a large number of licenses and want to perform a background installation without
user interaction, you can call from a script with the following parameter:
SnapTwainSetup /verysilent

4 Call and scan

The SnapTwain TWAIN driver is not called as a program itself, but is called by a TWAIN-compliant program.
You may have evaluated or purchased the SnapTwain driver because you want to use your ScanSnap scanner
with a specific existing TWAIN-compliant application. However, if you do not have a TWAIN-compliant
scanning application, we recommend that you use the freely available IrfanView.
To scan with the SnapTwain driver, you must first select it as your TWAIN data source.
Then click Acquire to start the scanning process.

The following TWAIN driver dialogue box will appear. You can either press the 'Scan' button directly or set
the scan parameters first.
The driver allows settings for scan mode, resolution, single or double sided scanning and the first page to be
scanned.
You can also select image processing functions that rotate the document 90, 180 or 270 degrees after
scanning to make it readable, automatically align the document or remove blank pages. The last settings
made are retained for the next call.

The Scanning Side and Default Item Side features are only supported by the ScanSnap iX500, ScanSnap iX1500
and some newer ScanSnap scanner models. They are not available on other scanner models and certainly not
on the SV600.
ScanSnap Home does not support the first page to read. Therefore, SnapTwain can only use this feature in
conjunction with ScanSnap Manager.
After scanning a page, ScanSnap Home or ScanSnap will ask if you want to read another page or stop
scanning, depending on the scanner model.

After clicking the Stop Scan button in the ScanSnap Home window, the scanned pages are transferred from
the TWAIN driver to the application.
SnapTwain supports scanning of single pages as well as multi-page scans.

5 Registration
The installed driver initially works as a demo version. The demo version adds a watermark to the scanned
documents.
After you have thoroughly tested the functionality of the SnapTwain driver for your purpose, you can
purchase a SnapTwain license. This is a single-user license and is tied to the PC.
For registration and use without watermark, you need to purchase a license and enter the license data.
Your demo version must be version 1.83 or higher to communicate with the license server.
In the demo mode of the drivers click on the "Register" button. Then the registration dialog opens.

If you purchased the license online through our eCommerce partner MyCommerce, you will receive your
license key along with your invoice by email. The key starts with MK followed by numbers and letters. You
can enter it in the blue field in the dialog below and click Activate. If the key is accepted, you will receive a
message and your license will be activated.
If you purchased the software in a way that did not automatically include a license key, use the green area
of the dialog to request the license key. In this dialog please enter the name of the user with first and last
name. In the Message field, you can enter your order number if you have already purchased a license. The
dialog must always be called from the computer for which the license is to be used. If you have not yet
purchased a license, first contact JSE by sending an email to sales@jse.de. In the Email field, enter your email
address to which the license key should be sent.
After that the "Register" button in SnapTwain will be removed.

6 Additional programs
6.1 Predefined Properties / Predefined Settings
The Predefined Properties utility can be accessed from the Windows Start menu. It offers a number of
presets that can optimize your workflow. This utility is available in English only. It is not required for normal
use. It is intended for administrators and advanced users.
Predefined Properties has the following user interface.
Scan Mode
When Scan Mode is selected, you can specify in which color mode the TWAIN driver sends the data to the
application. Monochrome, grayscale or color can be selected. The setting sent by the application, if any, will
be ignored.
Resolution
If Resolution is selected, the resolution in dpi set here is used for scanning and the setting of the application
is ignored.
Scanning Side
If Scanning Side is selected, Simplex (one-sided) or Duplex (two-sided) scanning can be selected. Any
default settings from the calling program will be overwritten.
Default Item Side
Here you can set which side will be scanned (simplex) or which side will be scanned first (duplex). Face
Down means the side of the sheet facing the scanner, Face Up means the side facing you. Applications

usually do not use this setting. So this utility gives you the possibility to set the parameter even when
scanning without user interface.
Auto Rotate
If Auto Rotate is selected here, a text document will be rotated 90, 180 or 270 degrees by SnapTwain if it
detects that it does not have the normal orientation for readability.
Auto Deskew
If this function is selected, SnapTwain will straighten a document that has been fed in at a slight angle.
Blank Page Removal
If this function is selected, empty pages, e.g. empty back pages, are filtered out by SnapTwain and not
transferred to the application.
Show UI always
If Show UI always is selected, the user interface of SnapTwain will be displayed even if the application scans
without any interface. This helps to make individual settings or to check the settings of the application. This
item cannot be selected at the same time as the opposite item No UI always.
No UI always
If No UI always is selected, scanning is always done without user interface even if the application actually
calls the TWAIN driver with user interface. A use case of this setting is to optimize the workflow and to save
clicking on Scan in the dialog after having already clicked on Scan in the application. This item cannot be
selected at the same time as the opposite item Show UI always.
ATTENTION: It is not possible to license SnapTwain if No UI always is selected. If you have activated this
item during your test with the demo version, please disable it temporarily for registration.
Save and Exit
Only when you leave the dialog via this button, the changed settings will be saved and used for the next
scan with SnapTwain.
Cancel
Use this button to exit the dialog without saving any changes made to the settings.
6.2 Support Info
In the Windows Start menu under SnapTwain you will find the sub item "8 - Support Info". If you select this,
the Installation Checker displays whether relevant drivers and programs are installed and with which

version.
If you contact JSE Support, it is likely that you will be asked to open the program and share the information.
To do this, you can either make a screen shot or click on "Copy to Clipboard" in the program. Then the
information will be copied to your clipboard and you can paste it into your email to support.
6.3 TWAINCommander SnapTwain Edition
TWAINCommander is a paid command-line scan utility from JSE. With SnapTwain we ship a special
edition. It comes quasi free with the SnapTwain license, but is limited to SnapTwain only, so cannot be used
with other scanners. TWAINCommander is used for the start menu items "2 - SnapTwain Test Scan with
UI" and "3 - SnapTwain Test Scan without UI". UI stands for the user interface, i.e. the dialog for setting the
scan parameters.
