Microsoft Windows XP includes its 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 PaperPort and other Windows applications as
well.
Note
: Scanning with the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) is only
available if your computer is running Windows XP.
