Explanation
The ScanMode property sets the scanning mode. The default value is vikScanDOC. This property is enabled when the UiMode is vikScanNONUI. When the ScanMode property is vikScanCAMArray or vikScanCAMThumbArray, the array values passed to the Execute method are enabled, otherwise these array values are disabled. To preserve compatiblilty with the ImageKit5 ActiveX, the orginal images may be retrived from the digital camera by setting the ScanMode property to vikScanADF1 and the XResolution property to 0.
Values of vikPositiveFilm1 and vikPositiveFilm2 are enabled when using some Epson scan device drivers. vikPositiveFilm2 can be used only when using drivers supporting film area guide. When using value vikInformationFile, be sure to set the path to the information file in the InformationFileName property.
Note: Even if the scan device being used supports duplex scanning, some scan drivers will not fully support duplex scanning when the when the user interface is suppressed (When UiMode property is vikScanNONUI).
