This paper provides information about Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) architecture and the process a developer can follow to port a Still Image Architecture (STI)-compliant TWAIN data source to a WIA driver for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. The paper also provides guidelines for TWAIN developers to implement WIA for existing TWAIN drivers.

Included in this white paper:

  • Introduction to WIA Drivers

  • Porting STI-Compliant TWAIN Drivers to WIA

  • Separate UI Components from Driver Core Components

  • Add WIA Support to the Existing STI-Compliant Code

  • Implement UI Components

  • Methods by which WIA Clients Configure WIA Driver Core Components

  • Implement Non-UI Components

  • Convert TWAIN Operations into WIA Operations Using your New WIA Driver

  • Terminology

  • Tables

  • Mapping WIA Properties to TWAIN Capabilities

  • Mapping WIA Application Operations to TWAIN Application Operations

  • Call to Action and Resources
