WIA stands for Windows Image Acquisition and is an alternative standard for acquiring images from scanners and cameras. It has been introduced by Microsoft and is available in Windows XP. WIA device drivers are able to communicate with applications that are TWAIN-compliant, such as csXImage, however these drivers usually exhibit limitations in their functionality. We do not recommend the use of WIA drivers with csXImage. The standard, TWAIN-compliant drivers which are readily available for the vast majority of scanners should be used instead.
