The BearPaw 1200CU Plus is a flatbed scanner manufactured by Mustek, typically designed for home or office use. The WIA (Windows Imaging Architecture) driver allows the scanner to work with modern Windows operating systems, providing a standard interface for scanning documents and images.
A WIA driver is a software component that enables communication between your scanner and Windows-based applications, allowing you to scan images directly into programs like Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop, or other image-editing software that supports WIA.
