Icon Id – All future versions of the TWAIN Source Manager may display the list of available Sources using a combination of the ProductName (in the Source’s TW_IDENTITY structure) and an Icon (as the Macintosh version currently does). Therefore, it is recommended that you add this icon into your Source resource file today. This will allow your Source to be immediately compatible with any upcoming changes. The icon should be identified using TWON_ICONID from the TWAIN.H file.

We've discussed this item a few times. The icon display scheme is a TBD from TWAIN's earliest days. It's never been acted upon, and if it was it would only impact the User Select box on Windows. Therefore the opinion of the group is to not address this item; and following up with prior discussions the whole icon thing should be removed from the TWAIN specification (preferrably for 2.3)...
