VRS User’s Manual

The scanning interface consists of basic scanner property settings, along with an 

option for accessing VRS. The scanning interface serves as a connection between VRS 

and your scanning application. Depending on the type of scanning application 

(ImageControls-based, ISIS-based, TWAIN-based), the options that appear on the 

VRS scanning interface will vary. For example, the ImageControls scanning interface 

does not include an option that you can select to start scanning, but the ISIS and 

TWAIN scanning interfaces both include a Scan option. 

Most scanning applications support one scanning interface type, but some do support 

more than one. For applications that support multiple scanning interfaces, the 

preferred interface is the one that provides direct access to VRS. For best results, we 

recommend that the Kofax ImageControls interface be your first choice, followed by 

the ISIS interface and then the TWAIN interface.

The Kofax VRS ImageControls interface serves as a connection between VRS and your 

ImageControls scanning application. Once you select the scan source from the 

scanning application, you can access an ImageControls scanning interface. Then the 

scanner properties will be available from a custom dialog box created by the 

application or in a standard ImageControls dialog box. In Figure 3-5, you can see the 

Scanner Properties dialog box that is available in VCDemo, the ImageControls-based 

demonstration scanning application that is included with every VRS installation.

For more information about VCDemo, refer to Using VCDemo in your VRS 

Installation Guide.
