Apparently that device has a TWAIN interface.

MATLAB does not have any TWAIN interface built in.

https://www.tegakari.net/en/2020/03/vintasoft_twain_net_sdk/ offers a .NET TWAIN interface that in theory could be called from Windows MATLAB.

hay sir thank you for your answer, but i stil confuse to solve it. can you explain it more detail for me sir? i am very need about it.

i also found this video from youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWAsBPor9xQ

but this use microsoft visual to execute that code because in microsoft visual provide twain toolbox. if i use matlab and write the code like that it is possible or not? thank you

[Walter Roberson]

It would involve adding a .NET Assembly and invoking it

The details would depend entirely on the .NET assembly.

I do have a twain-compatible scanner here, but I am running on MacOS so I cannot use .NET assemblies.

hay sir, did you have .dll file because i got problem to make that .dll file so until now i can't call it to matlab

[Walter Roberson]

I do not have a dll file -- I am not running MS Windows.

[rizqi basith]

oh okay thank you sir, but do you know how to find reference .dll file or if you know someone who share .dll file for public?

can i combine it with matlab sir? because i need matlab on that job

[Walter Roberson]

Yes, you can combine it with MATLAB, by using system() or System.Diagonstics.Process

[catur suharinto]

Of course, make sure your Matlab is running as administrator

[rizqi basith]

okay thank you so much sir, i will try it

[rizqi basith]

hay sir, can i make this code into GUI?

can you help me to do that?
