 to display the program that is used to acquire pictures from a scanner, a digital camera or another suitable device. Only devices that use Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) can be used to obtain pictures.

WIA is a standard method for transferring pictures from the device’s scanning or downloading program to another program. If the manufacturer provides the appropriate software components needed for WIA compliance, these should have been installed when the device was installed.

Each scanner or digital camera has its own program that is used to scan or download pictures. Refer to the manual or online help provided with the program for instructions, if required. When the device and its software finish processing the picture, it will be shown in the Choose Picture page.
