Scanning Using the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Driver
Your printer also supports the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver for scanning images. Windows Image
Acquisition (WIA) is one of the standard components provided by Windows operating systems and works with digital
cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN driver, the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver allows you to scan an
image and easily manipulate those images without using additional software.
The following procedure uses Windows 7 as an example.
NOTE:
•
Make sure that the printer is connected to the computer using the USB cable.

Place a single document facing down on the document glass and close the document cover.
