Ah, will give that a try. It is annoying, but I'll deal with it for
now. I am not sure of all the specifications, but I thought it
sounded a little odd to me.

Hi
Thanks for the info, although the Read Iris guy doesn't really
understand twain from what he's saying. According to the twain
driver specification, the driver *must* provide a way to suppress
the interface. Further, image capture can bypass the interface of
my scanner. And, also, Read Iris suppresses the interface on the
PC. Those're the kind of people I just want to shake and tell them
actually look at the software and docs before shooting off their
mouths. If a simple app like Image capture can bypass the
interface, it's obviously possible. Duh. Can image capture bypass
your scanner's interface? If it can then its obviously possible to
do this. I was able to use the site to buy it on OS X but it was a
drag, as you said--main problem was that it didn't provide any
confirmation when my order had been processed, except via email.
With regard to the scanner's interface, though, I did come up with
a little trick to help deal with it--this could be driver-specific,
so it might not work on yours. Just before scanning, have the mouse
stop tracking the VO cursor. Now, bring up the driver and put the
VO cursor on the scan button. Route the mouse there with VO-keys+cmd
+f5. On my scanner, the driver window always pops up in the same
place so if I leave the mouse there a simulated click will scan
another page without having to find the button again.
