Using ISIS to Scan Images (Document/Medical only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING SUPPORT FOR ISIS DRIVERS:

LEADTOOLS TOOLKITS CONTAIN SUPPORT FOR ISIS® DRIVERS USING PIXEL TRANSLATIONS RUNTIME (PIXDFLTN. DLL) VERSION NUMBER 55.1.260.832 OR EARLIER ALLOWING LEADTOOLS TO DIRECTLY INTERFACE WITH THE ISIS DRIVERS.

LEADTOOLS TOOLKITS DO NOT DIRECTLY COMMUNICATE WITH ISIS ® DRIVERS USING PIXEL TRANSLATIONS RUNTIME (PIXDFLTN) VERSION NUMBER 56.*.*.* OR HIGHER. A LEADTOOLS APPLICATION WHICH OPERATES PROPERLY WITH THE EARLIER VINTAGE ISIS DRIVERS WILL CEASE TO OPERATE PROPERLY IF THE OLDER ISIS DRIVER IS REPLACED WITH A NEWER ISIS DRIVER REQUIRING THE PIXEL TRANSLATIONS RUNTIME DLL VERSION NUMBER 56.*.*.* OR HIGHER.

ISIS is a standard used with certain scanners. The software includes support for ISIS scanning one or more images through its LEADTOOLS L_ISISAcquire and L_ISISAcquireMulti functions, provided an ISIS driver is present. (The LEADTOOLS software does not include ISIS Drivers). L_ISISAcquire loads an image scanned from an ISIS scanner into a bitmap. L_ISISAcquireMulti provides support for multi-page scanning, saving pages in a single or multiple files. The ISISCALLBACK function is provided for additional processing of each scanned page.

Prior to scanning however, other functions must be used to prepare for scanning. L_IsISISAvailable indicates whether ISIS support DLLs are available for use. If so, load the ISIS Scanner Driver using L_ISISLoadDriver. L_ISISSelect displays a dialog box for selecting the desired ISIS driver, if there is more than one. New ISIS drivers can also be added using this dialog box. To set scanner options, call L_ISISSetScanOptions.

LEADTOOLS provides the L_ISISGetTagLong, L_ISISGetTagShort and L_ISISGetTagASCII functions for getting information on the current scanner settings and scanning properties. Certain scanner settings and scanning properties can be changed using L_ISISSetTagLong, L_ISISSetTagShort and L_ISISSetTagASCII. ISIS tags can have multiple values, also called choices. LEADTOOLS provides the L_ISISGetTagASCIIChoice, L_ISISGetTagLongChoice, and L_ISISGetTagShortChoice functions for determining the number of available values/choices and for retrieving individual values/choices for a specified tag. For more information on the tags, refer to ISIS long tags and ISIS short tags.

Finally, when the ISIS driver is no longer needed, unload the driver using L_ISISUnloadDriver.
