How to interface scanner in labview

Hi all,

 

I have one HP scanjet scanner and I want to interface it with PC through LabVIEW. Is there any idea to develop some code for it?

What is the goal for this request?

I doubt that many people have experience with using scanner devices in LV.

 

Worst case: It is not possible at all.

Best case: HP provides a well documented API (e.g. DLL) which you can directly call from LV. So you would create a couple of VIs which "wrap" the desired DLL functions for further usage in your application.

Hi,

 

what about using the TWAIN-API shipped with Windows? All functions needed are available in the twain_32.dll.
