Scanning Using the WIA Driver
Your printer also supports the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver for scanning images. WIA is
one of the standard components provided by Windows XP and later operating systems and works with
digital cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN driver, the WIA driver allows you to scan an image
and easily manipulate those images without using additional software.
The following procedure uses Windows 7 as an example.
NOTE:
• Ensure that the printer is connected to the computer using the USB cable.

the document cover.
