You can scan any item—a drawing, a newspaper article, a piece of patterned fabric—directly into Windows Paint, provided the scanner uses a Windows Acquisition driver (WIA) rather than a TWAIN driver, using the settings you want. Then you can save the scan of the item in the format and location you want.
In Windows Paint, choose From Scanner Or Camera from the File menu to display the Scan dialog box.
If you want to make custom settings, click Adjust The Quality Of The Scanned Picture to display the Advanced Properties dialog box.
Click Preview to do a quick scan of the picture and to preview it.
If the selected area doesn’t match your item or the part of it you want, drag the handles in the preview to change the selected area.
Preview the scan in Paint, and make any modifications you want.
Choose Save from the File menu, and save the scan in the file format and location you want.
