Scan images

To scan images

You can scan images in CorelDRAW by using a compatible TWAIN driver. CorelDRAW supports scanners that use Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), which provides a standard interface for scanning images.

If your scanner does not support WIA, but has a compatible TWAIN driver, you may be able to use this driver for scanning images in CorelDRAW. TWAIN is supported by both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CorelDRAW. However, note that there are few 64-bit TWAIN drivers available.

The software interfaces and options vary. For information about using the software associated with your scanner, see the manufacturer’s documentation.
