SDSS 2.x requires downloading and installing the ISIS/TWAIN driver and utilities and the SDSS software. SDSS 3.x requires downloading and installing the TWAIN only and SDSS software.
• Kofax Virtual ReScan (VRS) software (ISIS) - Download for use by customers that require the document-processing features of Kofax VRS. Requires downloading and installing both the ISIS driver and the Kofax VRS.
