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.
You can scan from many Windows XP applications using the WIA
interface. The instructions in this section explain how to scan from
WIA using the PaperPort software you received with your scanner.
Note
: Scanning with the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) is only
available if your computer is running Windows XP.
