WIA (Windows Imaging Acquisition)
A function to import images supported after Windows Me/XP from digital cameras and other peripheral devices.
This function replaces what TWAIN used to do. The feature is provided as a part of Windows functions and
improves ease of operation, so that you import images directly to My Computer without using any application.
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
WPS is a network security standard created by Wi-Fi Alliance, to make it easy to connect with the wireless devices
and set up the Wi-Fi Protected Access. The WPS-supported services can connect to the wireless access points by
pushing a button or entering passphrases.
