Scanning Documents Using the SmartVault Inbox and TWAIN-Compliant Scanners
Overview
You can use TWAIN-compliant scanners attached to your local computer or on a network to quickly scan and upload documents to SmartVault using the SmartVault Inbox.
Because most TWAIN-compliant scanners are plug-and-play, typically all you need to do is connect the scanner to your computer or network, select the scanner from the drop-down list in the SmartVault Inbox, and then scan; no additional configuration is required. For more information about connecting your scanner to your computer or network, see your scanner documentation.
