I am working on a scanning project as well, and there are very few WIA examples. This code is what you are looking for to set the bed size, DPI, etc. Check out the SetProperty method with an example on how to deal with set_Value.
class Scan
{
// Scanner only device properties (DPS)
public const int WIA_RESERVED_FOR_NEW_PROPS = 1024;
public const int WIA_DIP_FIRST = 2;
public const int WIA_DPA_FIRST = WIA_DIP_FIRST + WIA_RESERVED_FOR_NEW_PROPS;
public const int WIA_DPC_FIRST = WIA_DPA_FIRST + WIA_RESERVED_FOR_NEW_PROPS;
public const int WIA_DPS_FIRST = WIA_DPC_FIRST + WIA_RESERVED_FOR_NEW_PROPS;
public const int WIA_DPS_DOCUMENT_HANDLING_STATUS = WIA_DPS_FIRST + 13;
public const int WIA_DPS_DOCUMENT_HANDLING_SELECT = WIA_DPS_FIRST + 14;
public const int FEEDER = 1;
public const int FLATBED = 2;
public const int DUPLEX = 4;
public const int FEED_READY = 1;
WIA.CommonDialog _dialog = new WIA.CommonDialog();
WIA.Device _scanner;
public void ADFScan()
{
_dialog = new CommonDialogClass();
_scanner = _dialog.ShowSelectDevice(WIA.WiaDeviceType.ScannerDeviceType, false, false);
foreach (Property item in _scanner.Items[1].Properties)
{
switch (item.PropertyID)
{
case 6146: //4 is Black-white,gray is 2, color 1
SetProperty(item, 2);
break;
case 6147: //dots per inch/horizontal
SetProperty(item, 100);
break;
case 6148: //dots per inch/vertical
SetProperty(item, 100);
break;
case 6149: //x point where to start scan
SetProperty(item, 0);
break;
case 6150: //y-point where to start scan
SetProperty(item, 0);
break;
case 6151: //horizontal exent
SetProperty(item, (int)(8.5 * 100));
break;
case 6152: //vertical extent
SetProperty(item, 11 * 100);
break;
}
}
ImageFile image = (ImageFile)_scanner.Items[1].Transfer(FormatID.wiaFormatPNG);
System.IO.File.Delete("tmp.png");
image.SaveFile("tmp.png");
}
private void SetProperty(Property property, int value)
{
IProperty x = (IProperty)property;
Object val = value;
x.set_Value(ref val);
}
public void test()
{
bool WantsToScan = true;
while (WantsToScan) ScanAndSaveOnePage();
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
new Scan().test();
}
}
