VistaScan is the primary program or driver you use to scan with
your Astra 6400/6450 scanner. It is a TWAIN-compliant program,
which means that it can be run from other programs that support
scanning, like Caere OmniPage and others. It is also a stand-alone
program, which allows you to scan images for a variety of uses,
even without launching another program first.
