Explanation

The GetDSInfo method retrieves information about the specified scan device, such as manufacturer, product name, etc. Prior to executing the GetDSInfo method the DsName property, specifing the scan device, must be set or the scan device must be selected using the Select method.

If the GetDSInfo method executes successfully, the information about the scan device will be set in following properties: Manufacturer, ProductFamily, ProductName, ProtocolMajor, ProtocolMinor, SourceMajor, SourceMinor, SourceVersionInfo.


Prior to executing the GetDSInfo method, you must execute the Initialize method.

The GetDSInfo method corresponds to the Scan Control's ScanGetDSInfo method in earlier version of the ImageKit.
