According to the PictPub 5.0 manual, if you are not using a Twain
driver to run your scanner, you have to set up PictPub to recognize
your scanner. That means you must select the scanner from their list
of scanner drivers and type in the scanner's port address. In that
case you would use the SCAN command. You may not have set up your
scanner references correctly to use their SCAN command.
