Scanning from the WIA
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 other Windows applications as well.

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.

2.

From the File menu choose From Scanner or Camera.

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