Scanning Driver Support in IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture 8.0.1 and above

 Query

What scanner drivers are supported in IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture 8.0.1 and above?

Answer

IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture 8.x supports scanning directly through both the ISIS and TWAIN APIs. The three types of scanning supported in IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture 8.x are thick client scanning ISIS scan, ISIS fixup, and thin client TWAIN scan. In either case IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture 8.x supports scanning "through" Kofax VRS drivers, underneath the ISIS and TWAIN layers. In the case of ISIS the ISIS driver is called "pixkofax"

Please note that in IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture 8.x, IBM does NOT support the classic thick Kofax scan task (kScan) from IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture 7.x and older, that goes direct to the Kofax ImageControls API.
