Scanning with WIA Driver

You can scan an image from a Windows Imaging Acquisition (WIA)-compliant application and edit/print the scanned image.

WIA is a driver model implemented in Windows XP or later. It allows you to scan documents without using an application.

The procedure varies depending on the application. The following procedures are examples only.

For details, refer to the application's manual.

  • Complete the following settings to enable scanning over a network.

    1. From the Start menu, select Computer > Network.

    2. Right-click XXX_MAC address (where "XXX" is the model name) in the displayed screen, then select Install.
