Scan documents into the Windows Viewer

The Windows Viewer allows you to scan pages from multiple scanning devices.

FileBound is designed to work with the TWAIN driver of most desktop scanners. Confirm that your model has a TWAIN device driver available and that the TWAIN driver has been installed for your device.

Note: The maximum supported image dimensions for grayscale images are 2550 x 3300 pixels. For colored images, due to increase in dpi, this dimensional range may be reduced.
