Scanning from the Windows Image Acquisition Interface
Scanning from the Windows
Image Acquisition Interface
Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista include their own
scanning interface—known as Windows Image Acquisition
(WIA)—for acquiring images from scanners, digital cameras, and
other digital devices.
This section shows how to use Microsoft Paint to scan using the
WIA interface, but you can use PaperPort and other Windows
applications as well.
To scan using WIA from Microsoft Paint:
1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to Programs, point
to Accessories, and then click Paint.
The Paint window opens.
2. From the File menu choose From Scanner or Camera.
NOTE: If your computer is running an earlier version of
Windows, it cannot use WIA to scan.
