About TWAIN Drivers and

application can use. This interface is called a
driver .
Your EPSON Perfection 600 software follows an
image transfer standard known as TWAIN. This
software lets you use your EPSON scanner with any

◗Crop a limited area for scanning
◗Scan multiple frames at one time
◗Scan different types of originals (color, grayscale, or
black and white) at the same time
