Follow these steps to scan documents with a scanner:

  1. Make sure your scanner has been set up to work with TCfW.
  2. Click Scan from the Attach menu. The Scan Into window opens.
  3. Enter a comment in the Comment field (optional).
  4. Select Start next to Scan With Scanner. The Scan Into window opens.

  6. Enter the DOS path and .EXE file of the program that executes the scanner software in the Program field.
