Windows Image Acquisition (WIA; sometimes also called Windows Imaging Architecture) is a proprietary Microsoft driver model and application programming interface (API) for Microsoft Windows Me and later Windows operating systems that enables graphics software to communicate with imaging hardware such as scanners,
Keeping this in consideration, how do I become a WIA driver?
Method 1: check the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service.
- Right click on the Start button in the lower left corner.
- Choose Run from the context menu.
- Type services.
- Find Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) from the list and double click on it.
- Select Automatic from the drop-down menu after Startup type.
Similarly, it is asked, what is WIA Windows 10?
A WIA driver enables the graphics software like Windows Scanner, Photoshop, to communicate with your imaging hardware like scanner. If a WIA driver is missing, old or incompatible on your computer, then you may probably get the error 'You need a WIA driver to use this device'.
WIA is a driver model implemented in Windows XP or later. It allows you to scan items without using an application. The procedure varies depending on the application.
