If you have a scanner, you probably know about the TWAIN standard. Today, most scanning devices support TWAIN drivers so that users can enjoy a hassle-free experience while scanning the images. In this article, we will describe what TWAIN is and how you can install TWAIN driver on Windows 11/10 computers.
What is TWAIN and How did it make the image scanning easy?
TWAIN is a standard for scanning devices. It was first released in 1992 for the computers running on Windows and Macintosh operating systems. The release of TWAIN has made the process of image scanning hassle-free. Before TWAIN, users have to select a special application to receive the image from the scanner, then save the image to the disk. After that, they were able to open that image in the software of their choice to work with.
With TWAIN, there is no need to save the scanned image on the disk. TWAIN establishes a communication link between the image processing software and the devices such as scanners, digital cameras, etc. This lets users open the scanned image directly in the software which they use for image processing, provided they have installed a TWAIN driver on their system.
Every brand develops its own TWAIN drivers that support the scanners of that brand. You can download the drivers from the official website of the brand, the scanner of which you are using.

У многих возникает вопрос: как настроить сканирование на МФУ Kyocera с помощью TWAIN-драйвера. Давайте разберём этот вопрос.
1. Скачайте и установите драйвер сканера
Первым делом необходимо скачать сам драйвер сканера. Сделать это можно в разделе «Центр поддержки» на официальном сайте Kyocera. Перейдя по ссылке, найдите Ваше МФУ с помощью поля поиска, после чего перейдите на страницу устройства, в раздел «Драйверы»
Найдите в списке драйверов «TWAIN scanner driver» (может называться иначе, однако в названии нужного вам файла всегда будет слово «TWAIN»), скачайте его и установите.
После установки драйвера, запустите утилиту «Kyocera TWAIN Driver», которая устанавливается вместе с драйверами. Найти её можно в списке всех программ в меню Пуск — папка «Kyocera».
2. Добавьте новое устройство
Нажмите кнопку «Добавить…»:
В окне добавления устройства:
- В поле «Имя» введите произвольное имя, которое будет отображаться в списке устройств в программах сканирования. Во избежание путаницы в будущем, рекомендуем вводить в это поле модель вашего МФУ
- В выпадающем списке «Модель» выберите модель Вашего устройства, чтобы утилита правильно подобрала параметры работы со сканнером.
Обратите внимание: сетевые модели в списке числятся дважды, например «ECOSYS M2540dn» и «ECOSYS M2540dn (USB)». Если МФУ подключено по Wi-Fi или интернет-кабелю – выбирайте модель без приписки «(USB)», а если по USB – с припиской. - Если МФУ подключено к локальной сети через интернет-кабель или Wi-Fi, то в поле «Адрес сканера» укажите IP-адрес или хост-имя МФУ.
При подключении через интерфейс USB – указывать IP-адрес не нужно.
После завершения настройки драйвера сканера, нажмите кнопку «ОК».
3. Пользуйтесь
На этом настройка сканера Kyocera завершена. Некоторым компьютерам требуется перезагрузка для начала работы с TWAIN-устройствами, так что если сканирование будет недоступно (часто это происходит с ошибкой «Сканер занят» или при попытке сканирования бесконечно висит сообщение «Ожидание сканера»), в первую очередь перезагрузите компьютер.
Для сканирования Вы можете использовать любую программу для сканирования с поддержкой TWAIN, например:
- NAPS2
- PaperScan
- HippoScan
Сразу ответим на несколько насущных вопросов:
- Сканирование не работает даже после установки и настройки драйвера, убедитесь в том, что:
- Вы выбрали корректную модель устройства в настройке драйвера, а также верно задали её тип подключения (сетевое или USB)
- Убедитесь, что МФУ в принципе включено
- В случае сетевой модели Kyocera (работающей по Wi-Fi или интернет-кабелю), убедитесь, что компьютер видит ваше МФУ. Для этого откройте командную строку и выполните следующую команду:
ping X.X.X.X
Вместо X.X.X.X подставьте IP-адрес устройства или его хост-имя. В результате выполнения этой команды, все пакеты должны быть отправлены и получены. Потерь быть не должно. Если потери есть, но несколько пакетов дошло (или задержка при отправке пакетов более 100мс) – вероятно, плохое качество сигнала Wi-Fi или проблемы с интернет-кабелем. Если все пакеты потеряны, скорее всего МФУ не подключено к сети или имеет другой IP-адрес. - В программе сканирования вы выбрали нужное МФУ, с которого будет производиться сканирование. Например в NAPS для этого необходимо создать профиль сканирования, выбрать «TWAIN» и выбрать созданное в настройках драйвера устройство.
- На МФУ не отображается ошибок на экране и не активны световые индикаторы ошибок на передней панели, поскольку некоторые модели МФУ Kyocera не позволяют запускать процесс сканирования при наличии ошибок. Некоторые ошибки на МФУ Kyocera можно временно сбросить (обычно до первой перезагрузки МФУ) нажатием на передней панели кнопок Отмена – ОК (Cancel – OK)
- Убедитесь, что у устройства в принципе есть поддержка TWAIN. Некоторые, в особенности старые устройства Kyocera, не имеют поддержки TWAIN, или же умеют сканировать через TWAIN только по локальной сети (не по USB).
Данную информацию можно найти на официальном сайте Kyocera, в характеристиках продукта, в разделе «Сканирование», например:
Для старых устройств, которых нет на официальном сайте, придётся искать информацию на сторонних сайтах:
Также на всякий случай проверьте работу в другой программе для сканирования. На нашем опыте бывало так, что одна программа по какой-то причине не хочет работать с конкретным устройством, а другая – работает корректно и полноценно.
- Есть ли у Kyocera своя полноценная программа для сканирования, например как у Canon, Xerox или HP?
Для некоторых моделей своих МФУ, компания Kyocera добавляет поддержку ПО для сканирования. Данное ПО называется «Kyocera Quick Scan». Найти его можно на странице драйвера, в разделе «Программное обеспечение»:
- В процессе установки драйвера, установились драйвера и на WIA, и на TWAIN. Какой лучше использовать?
В случае с Kyocera, по нашему опыту, лучше использовать TWAIN драйвер, так как в подавляющем большинстве случаев у данного производителя он работает менее проблематично, нежели WIA. Если по какой-то причине TWAIN-драйвер всё-таки проявляет проблемы при своей работе, можно попробовать использовать WIA или установить другую версию драйвера TWAIN. - Сканер то сканирует, то выдаёт ошибки. Печать при этом всегда работает без проблем.
В случае USB-сканирования, чаще всего данная проблема происходит, если кабель USB изношен, плохого качества или слишком длинный. Мы рекомендуем приобретать USB-кабели длиной не более 1.5 метра, с ферритовыми фильтрами, которые защитят кабель от наводок и помех, либо экранированные кабели длиной до 3 метров.
В случае сканирование по сети, данная проблема может быть связана с плохим сигналом Wi-Fi, проблемами с интернет-кабелем или сетевым оборудованием, либо же с большой загрузкой локальной сети.
Дело в том, что сканирование на всех МФУ более привередливо, нежели печать, поскольку механизм передачи информации между МФУ и компьютером при этих действиях отличается, и сканирование может «запнуться» буквально из-за малейших помех при передаче информации с МФУ на компьютер, что выдаст ошибку сканирования.
В случае, если вы не можете самостоятельно «победить» настройку сканера Kyocera, или же вам нужна какая-либо помощь с устройством данного производителя, вы можете связаться с нами по телефону +7 (84635) 3-84-52 или через сообщения Jivo (в правом нижнем углу этой страницы). Мы попробуем оказать вам информационную поддержку или удалённую помощь (вам будет необходимо установить программу удалённого доступа, чтобы мы могли подключиться к вашему компьютеру).
