SCANNER FUNCTIONS
SCANNING FROM A WIA-COMPLIANT APPLICATION (Windows XP/Vista)
If you are using Windows XP/Vista, you can use the WIA driver to scan from Paint and other WIA-compliant
applications. The procedure for scanning using Paint is explained in the following.
1Place the original that you wish to
scan on the document glass/RSPF.
For information on setting an original for
scanning, refer to "SCANNING USING THE
KEYS ON THE MACHINE" (p.47).
2Start Paint and then click the "File"

menu and select "From Scanner or

Camera".

The scan screen of the
WIA driver will appear.
3Select the paper source and picture

type, and click the "Preview" button.

The preview image will
appear.
If you placed the original
on the document glass,
select "Flatbed" for the
"Paper source".
If you placed the original in
the RSPF, select
"Document Feeder" for the
"Paper source" and specify
the original size in "Page
size".
4Click the "Scan" button.
Scanning begins and the image is acquired into
Paint.
Use "Save" in your application to specify a file
name and folder for the scanned image, and save
the image.
To cancel a scanning job after clicking the "Scan"
button, click the "Cancel" button.
If you have WIA drivers for other devices
installed in your computer, the "Select Device"
screen will open. Select "SHARP AR-XXXX"
and click the "OK" button.
Note
If you select "Document Feeder" for the
"Paper source" and click the "Preview"
button, the top original in the RSPF is
previewed. The previewed original is sent to
the original exit area, so you will need to
return it to the RSPF before starting the
scanning job.
In Windows XP, you can view Help for a
setting. Click the button in the upper
right-hand corner of the window and then
click the setting.
