Scanning from WIA
This chapter includes:
• Scan using WIA from Microsoft Paint on page 144
• Fine Tuning Your Scans on page 146
Microsoft Windows version XP and later 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 other
Windows applications as well.
NOTE: Windows Vista and Windows 7 have advanced options available for scanning with the WIA
interface. Scanning from Microsoft’s Paint application uses the interface described in this section.
Other applications may access the advanced WIA interface available with Windows Vista and
Windows 7. Please refer to the Windows help for instructions on using WIA.
