SCANNING WITH THE WINDOWS IMAGE ACQUISITION

Microsoft Windows includes its own set of options—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 other Windows applications as well.

Note: Scanning with the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) is only available if your computer is running Windows XP.

Note: Duplex (two-sided) scanning is not available from WIA.

To scan using WIA from Microsoft Paint:

1.On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Paint.

The Paint window opens.

2.From the File menu choose From Scanner or Camera.
