Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista includes their own scanning
interface—known as Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)—for acquiring
images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices.
This section briefly describes how to scan from Microsoft's Paint application.
Please refer to your Windows documentation for detailed instructions on using
the WIA interface to scan.
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.
2. From the File menu choose From Scanner or Camera.
The WIA interface opens, use this window to select scanning options and
start the scan process.
