Acquires one or more images from a TWAIN source and stores the images in the specified file(s).

Parameter	Description
hSession	Handle to an existing TWAIN session. This handle is obtained by calling the L_TwainInitSession function.
pszBaseFileName	Character string containing the base name of the image file(s) in which to save the acquired data.
uFlags	Flag that determines certain actions of the TWAIN source. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	LTWAIN_SHOW_USER_INTERFACE	[0x0001] Shows the manufacturer's user interface as modeless.
	LTWAIN_MODAL_USER_INTERFACE	[0x0002] Shows the manufacturer's user interface as a modal dialog. Works only if the LTWAIN_SHOW_USER_INTERFACE flag is set.
	LTWAIN_KEEPOPEN	[0x0020] Keep the TWAIN data source open after scanning.
uTransferMode	Flag that indicates the transfer mode to use when acquiring the image(s). Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	LTWAIN_FILE_MODE	[0x001] Use the File transfer mode
	LTWAIN_BUFFER_MODE	[0x002] Use the Memory transfer mode
	LTWAIN_NATIVE_MODE	[0x004] Use the Native transfer mode
nFormat	Output file format. For valid values, refer to Formats of Output Files.
nBitsPerPixel	Resulting file's pixel depth. Note that not all bits per pixel are available to all file formats. For valid values, refer to Formats of Output Files. If nBitsPerPixel is 0, the file will be stored using the closest BitsPerPixel value supported by that format.
bMultiPageFile	Flag that indicates whether to save multiple images into a single multi-page file, or into a series of single page files. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	The scanned images will be saved in one multi-page file.
	FALSE	Each scanned image will be saved in a separate file.
	Notice that it the format doesn't support multi-page files, then each scanned page will be saved in a separate file.
uUserBufSize	Specifies a user-defined buffer size. This value will be used if uTransferMode is LTWAIN_BUFFER_MODE and the bUsePrefferedBuffer parameter is FALSE. This value must be a multiple of 16.
bUsePrefferedBuffer	Flag that indicates whether to use the user-defined buffer size or the Twain driver preferred buffer size. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Use the Twain driver preferred buffer size.
	FALSE	Use the user-defined buffer size in the uUserBufSize parameter.
pfnCallBack	Optional callback function, called twice for each page scan. The 1st call is to notify the page is start scanning, and the 2nd call is to notify the page scanning is finished. If you do not provide a callback function, use NULL as the value of this parameter. No error reporting will occur. If you do provide a callback function, use the function pointer as the value of this parameter. The callback function must adhere to the function prototype described in the LTWAINACQUIRECALLBACK function.
pUserData	Void pointer that you can use to pass one or more additional parameters that the callback function needs. To use this feature, assign a value to a variable or create a structure that contains as many fields as you need. Then, in this parameter, pass the address of the variable or structure, casting it to L_VOID *. The callback function, which receives the address in its own pUserData parameter, can cast it to a pointer of the appropriate data type to access your variable or structure.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
! = SUCCESS	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function will acquire one or more images from a TWAIN source and store the images to the specified file(s).

Based on the scanner type, this function will determine the best/fastest scanning method to use. This method will be used when actually scanning the image(s). Before calling this function you can call L_TwainFindFastConfig to determine the best scan configuration and then pass the scan configuration information to the L_TwainAcquireMulti function. If you do not call L_TwainFindFastConfig before calling L_TwainAcquireMulti, then the L_TwainAcquireMulti function will determine the best scanning method.

If the file format specified in nFormat does not support multi-page files, this function will ignore the bMultiPageFile parameter and automatically save the scanned images in separate files. The naming of the files will be carried out as follows: if the string in pszBaseFileName is "Temp.jpg", the method will append the number of the image, 0001, 0002, etc, to the name of the file. Therefore, the output file names will be "Temp0001.jpg", "Temp0002.jpg", etc.

If the file format specified in nFormat supports multi-page files, this function will use the bMultiPageFile parameter to determine how to save multiple images. If bMultiPageFile is FALSE, each scanned page will be saved to a separate file, named in the same manner described in the paragraph above. If bMultiPageFile is TRUE, the name of the output file will be exactly the string in pszBaseFileName (Temp.jpg) and it will be saved as a multi-page file.

If uTransferMode is LTWAIN_BUFFER_MODE, and bUsePrefferedBuffer is FALSE, then the function will use the user-defined buffer size in uUserBufSize. If however bUsePrefferedBuffer is TRUE, then the function will use the Twain driver preferred buffer size and will ignore uUserBufSize.

To cancel the acquire operation call the L_TwainCancelAcquire.

To stop acquire images only from the feeder of the TWAIN source, call the L_TwainStopFeeder function.

The LTWAIN_KEEPOPEN flag works only in the following cases:

1.	Passed with LTWAIN_SHOW_USER_INTERFACE flag to make the TWAIN user-interface appears as a modeless dialog. The TWAIN data source remains open after scanning until the user closes it.
2.	Passed with LTWAIN_SHOW_USER_INTERFACE and LTWAIN_MODAL_USER_INTERFACE flags to make the TWAIN user-interface appears as a modal dialog. The TWAIN data source remains open after scanning until the user closes it.
