Scanning with WIA Driver
You can scan an image from a WIA-compliant application and use the image in that application.
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) is a driver model implemented in Windows XP or later. It allows you to
scan documents without using an application. Scan documents from a TWAIN-compliant application to
specify advanced settings for scanning.
The procedure varies depending on the application. The following procedures are examples only.
For details, refer to the application's manual.
