Support WebCast: Overview of Windows Image Acquisition in Windows Millennium Edition (814203)

Session Summary

In this session, we will provide an overview of Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) in Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), and outline the new features available for imaging devices, such as scanners and cameras that use WIA device drivers. We will discuss how to tell the difference between a WIA device driver, a Still Image Architecture device driver, and TWAIN-only device driver. Windows Me includes a list of supported scanners and cameras and we will tell you where to find that list.
