Overview

Imaging Toolkit integrates scanning capabilities directly to an application without using Microsoft Windows Imaging Architecture or TWAIN data source frameworks.

When Imaging Toolkit is called by a host program, a scan profile is sent to the designated multifunction product (MFP). A listening port on the host computer remains open until the user scans using the profile. When scanning, data is sent to Imaging Toolkit, and then passes the scan job back to the calling program.

Imaging Toolkit consists of a dynamic link library (DLL) that provides the imaging functionality, header, and library files necessary to use the DLL with your application. It also includes documentation of the DLL API. You can use the DLL with C++ applications, Visual Basic applications, and any other Windows application that can call a DLL.

Integrating Imaging Toolkit involves the following components:
