<p>
There is no such thing as a TWAIN scanner. TWAIN is the roughly<br>
the interface between the application (e.g. Photoshop) and the<br>
manufacturer-provided drivers. The driver talks to the scanner in its<br>
own way, and then, via TWAIN, sends the acquired data to the<br>
application. A TWAIN backend incorporates the concept of both the SANE<br>
backend and frontend (i.e. it implements the user interface as well as<br>
the low-level connection to the hardware). The only thing that SANE can<br>
do is provide a TWAIN driver for Windows for scanning using the SANE<br>
network protocol.<br>
