Scanning with the WIA Interface
Scanning with the WIA 
Interface
Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista include their 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.
To scan using WIA from Microsoft Paint:
1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to Programs, point to 
Accessories, and then click Paint. 
The Paint window opens. 
2. From the File menu choose From Scanner or Camera. 
3. The Scan using Xerox DocuMate 250 window opens. Use this 
window to select scanning options and start the scan process.
