SCANNING WITH THE WINDOWS IMAGE ACQUISITION INTERFACE
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.
The instructions in this section are for scanning using WIA on
computers running Windows XP or Windows Vista. If your computer
is running an earlier version of Windows, it cannot use WIA to scan.
Many Windows XP and Windows Vista applications have commands to
access WIA, including PaperPort. To access WIA from PaperPort choose
WIA: Visioneer 9420 from the scanner drop-down list. See
page 35.
This section shows how to use Microsoft Paint to scan using the WIA
interface.
To scan using WIA from Microsoft Paint:
1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to All Programs, point
to Accessories, then click Paint.
The Paint window opens.
Note: To scan transparencies you must scan from the TWAIN
Advanced Interface. See
“Scanning 35mm Slides and Negatives” on
page 61 for details.
