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 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.
The Paint window opens.
Note: Scanning with the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) is only
available if your computer is running Windows XP.
Note: Duplex (two-sided) scanning is not available from WIA.
