NOTE: After installing the plug-in, please quit and restart your browser. If you are using Safari 5.0, you need to run the browser in 32-bit mode.


Test it with a simple page

You can find and download the completed sample page in the attachment of this article.

1. Use TextEdit to create an HTML file. Add the basic HTML tags (html, head, body, etc…).
   Note: Please click here to learn How to Set Up TextEdit as an HTML or Plain Text Editor.
   
   
2. Add the code below inside the body element of your HTML page:
   <embed id="DynamicWebTWAIN" type="application/dynamicwebtwain-plugin" height="528" width="100%"></embed>

   This is the Dynamic Mac TWAIN plugin object. You can modify the id, height and width if needed, but do not change the type of the object.

3. Then you can add some JavaScript code to control the plugin. Here is the sample to get the plugin object, set the configuration and acquire
   image without UI:

   <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

   WebTWAIN = document.embeds[0];//Get the object

   WebTWAIN.SetViewMode(1,1); //View mode 1*1

   WebTWAIN.IfDisableSourceAfterAcquire = true; //Disable source after acquire

   WebTWAIN.SelectSource();//Show dialog to select the source

   WebTWAIN.OpenSource();//Open the source

   WebTWAIN.IfShowUI = false;//Hide the scanner UI

   WebTWAIN.AcquireImage();//Scan

   }

   </script>
   

4. Now, just double click the sample HTML page and you will be able to acquire images from the scanner in your browser.
