ABSTRACT:
A TWAIN-compliant image processing application. The TWAIN-compliant image processing application includes a plurality of TWAIN stub data sources, each having a descriptor indicative of a particular image input device but otherwise being identical, each of said TWAIN stub data sources being callable by another image processing application requiring device driver functionality, a TWAIN protocol manager which receives commands in the form of TWAIN triplets, parses the TWAIN triplets, and executes the commands, and a driver manager for communicating with the TWAIN protocol manager and the particular image input device indicated by the descriptor of the TWAIN stub data source from which the TWAIN protocol manager receives the TWAIN triplets.
