Users can scan documents directly from a desktop TWAIN scanning device into GlobalSearch using the Scan extension. To do so, Scan must be installed and configured on the user's desktop, Scan must be enabled, and a scanner selected. With these requisite steps completed, when a user clicks Import Scan to Archives, it will communicate with the selected TWAIN-compliant scanner and initiate a scan process.

1. Have a locally attached TWAIN scanning device connected and powered up, with the scanner manufacturer’s drivers installed and functioning properly.  Most  
   Most production scanners come with a lightweight scan tool for testing scan functionality.  It is always advisable to test a new scanner using the local manufacturer-provided utility prior to configuring scanning in GlobalSearch.
