If you have a TWAIN-compliant scanner, you can connect it to your computer or network without any additional setup. With SmartVault, you can conveniently scan and upload documents using these scanners. To make your documents searchable, you must activate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities for your TWAIN-compliant scanner and generate full-text searchable PDFs.

Remember to consult your scanner's documentation for more information on connecting it to your computer or network.
