The DATATRANSFER structure provides information about data transferring.

Member	Description
uStructSize	Size of the DATATRANSFER structure, in bytes, for versioning. Use the sizeof() macro to calculate the value.
nFillOrder	Indicates how bytes in the image are to be filled by the source. Possible values are (according to the TWAIN 1.9 specification):
	Value	Meaning
	TWBO_LSBFIRST	Bytes are to be transferred with the least significant byte first.
	TWBO_MSBFIRST	Bytes are to be transferred with the most significant byte first.
nBufMemCompression	Specifies the compression to be used when having the transfer mode set to be memory. Possible values are (according to the TWAIN 1.9 specification):
	Value	Meaning
	TWCP_NONE	No compression is to be used.
	TWCP_PACKBITS	Pack Bits compression.
	TWCP_GROUP31D	CCITT Group 3 compression with no End of Line.
	TWCP_GROUP31DEOL	CCITT Group 3 compression with End of Line.
	TWCP_GROUP32D	CCITT Group 3 compression (use cap for K Factor).
	TWCP_GROUP4	CCITT Group 4 compression.
	TWCP_JPEG	JPEG compression.
	TWCP_LZW	LZW compression (like gifs).
	TWCP_JBIG	JBIG compression, used mostly for bitonal images.
	TWCP_PNG	PNG compressed.
	TWCP_RLE4	RLE4 compression.
	TWCP_RLE8	RLE8 compression.
	TWCP_BITFIELDS	Bit Fields compression.
nTransferMode	Transfer mode to be used by the TWAIN source. Possible values are (according to the TWAIN 1.9 specification):
	Value	Meaning
	TWSX_NATIVE	Native transfer mode.
	TWSX_MEMORY	Memory buffered transfer mode. The source will be transferring strips of data to the application according to the buffer size given.
	TWSX_FILE	File transfer mode. This will use a specified file to have the image data saved to. This will have a certain format specified by the properties.
nScanFileFormat	Determines the file format to use when saving the files from the TWAIN source. Possible values are (according to the TWAIN 1.9 specification) :
	Value	Meaning
	TWFF_TIFF	Tagged image file.
	TWFF_PICT	Macintosh PICT.
	TWFF_BMP	Windows regular bitmap.
	TWFF_XBM	X-Windows bitmap.
	TWFF_JFIF	JPEG file interchange format.
	TWFF_FPX	Flash pix file.
	TWFF_TIFFMULTI	Multi-page tiff file format.
	TWFF_PNG	PNG file.
	TWFF_SPIFF	SPIFF file.
	TWFF_EXIF	EXIF file.
nMemBufSize	Specifies the memory buffer size to be used in data transfer.
bSaveToOneFile	Flag that indicates whether to save a multiple pages to a single file. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Save to a single file.
	FALSE	Do not save to a single file.
bAppendToFile	Flag that indicates whether to append pages to the end of the file when saving a multi-page file. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Append pages to the end of the file.
	FALSE	Do not append pages to the end of the file.
bDumpMemBufsToFile	Flag that indicates whether to use the file name specified in szFileName field to dump the memory buffers received from the scanner. In this case the Bitmap Handle will not get the Bitmap Data, all the data will be saved to the file. Possible values:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Use file name.
	FALSE	Do not use file name.
szFileName	Character string that contains the file name used in the file transfer mode. Use this member only if: The nTransferMode member is set to TWSX_FILE. Or The nTransferMode member is set to TWSX_MEMORY and the bDumpMemBufsToFile member is set to TRUE.

Comments

pDATATRANSFER is a pointer to a DATATRANSFER structure. Where the function parameter type is pDATATRANSFER, you can declare a DATATRANSFER variable, update the structure's fields and pass the variable's address in the parameter. Declaring a pDATATRANSFER variable is necessary only if your program requires a pointer.

DATATRANSFER is used with the LTWAINPROPERTIES structure.

If the nTransferMode member value is set to TWSX_MEMORY and the bDumpMemBufsToFile member value is set to TRUE, then the LTwain::Acquire and LTwain::AcquireList functions will dump the memory buffers received from the scanner (whether compressed or not) directly to the output file specified by szFileName member.

If the nTransferMode member value is set to TWSX_MEMORY, the nBufMemCompression member is set to values other than TWCP_NONE, and the bDumpMemBufsToFile member value is set to FALSE, then the LTwain::Acquire and LTwain::AcquireList functions will decompress the memory buffers received from the scanner, and generate a BITMAPHANDLE as a result.

This generated BITMAPHANDLE will be:

returned in the pBitmap parameter of LTwain::BitmapCallBack function when it is fired by calling the LTwain::Acquire function;

added to the bitmap list specified by hBitmap and BitmapList parameters of LTwain::AcquireList function when this function is being used.
