Instructions for TWAIN Driver Integration
MouthWatch cameras easily integrate with many leading imaging systems using a TWAIN driver. This option is commonly used when the software does not have a dedicated MouthWatch integration. The TWAIN driver is automatically installed when installing MouthWatch Capture.
Step 1 – Download the Button Capture Software
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+, make sure to install the required driver by checking the box during installation.
- Once installed, right-click the MouthWatch Capture icon in the lower right corner of your screen.
- A menu will display. Left-click TWAIN.
If you don’t see the MouthWatch Capture icon, click the ^ button to expand the System Tray. You can drag and drop the icon from the expanded System Tray down to your Taskbar.
Step 2 – Plug in the MouthWatch Camera
Make sure that you plug the USB connector into a powered USB port. Sometimes, these are located on the front or back of the computer. If your monitor has USB ports, these may not be powered.
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+, use a USB 3.0 port.
Step 3 – Windows Recognizes the Camera
Once the MouthWatch camera is plugged in, you should see a notification indicating that new hardware USB Video Device was recognized.
Step 4 – Launch Your Imaging Software
- Launch your imaging or practice management software and choose to acquire images using a TWAIN device.
- The MouthWatch TWAIN driver will appear as MouthWatch.
- Selecting this option will open the TWAIN capture window.
- Pressing the capture button on the MouthWatch camera will take a photo
- Once your done capturing, press Scan to save images to the patient file.
Step 5 – All Set!
Your MouthWatch camera is now configured for TWAIN-based capture. You can continue capturing images directly into your imaging software.
