Scan features

Scanning using the WIA driver

Your machine supports the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver for

scanning images. WIA is one of the standard components provided by Microsoft

Windows 7 and works with digital cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN

driver, the WIA driver allows you to scan and easily adjust images without using

additional software:

The WIA driver works only on Windows OS (not supported Windows 2000)
with a USB port.

Make sure that the machine is connected to your computer and

powered on.

Place a single document face down on the document glass, or load the

documents face up into the document feeder (see "Loading originals" on
page 46).
