How to detect that paper is loaded in automatic document feeder of WIA image scanner?
In This Topic
If you need to detect that paper is loaded in automatic document feeder of WIA image scanner, this can be done using the
WiaDevice.DocumentHandlingStatus property.
Here is an example that demonstrates how to detect if paper is loaded in the automatic document feeder of WIA device:
/// <summary>
/// Acquires images from the automatic document feeder (ADF) of WIA device if document feeder has paper.
/// </summary>
public void AcquireImagesFromDocumentFeederOfWiaDeviceIfDocumentFeederHasPaper()
{
// create WIA device manager
using (Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceManager deviceManager = new Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceManager())
{
// open WIA device manager
deviceManager.Open();
// get count of WIA devices
int deviceCount = deviceManager.Devices.Count;
if (deviceCount == 0)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Devices are not found.");
return;
}
// select the first WIA device
Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDevice device = deviceManager.Devices[0];
// open WIA device
device.Open();
// if device does not have paper in the document feeder
if (device.DocumentHandlingStatus != Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDocumentHandlingStatus.FeederReady)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Device does not have paper in the document feeder.");
return;
}
int imageIndex = 0;
Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaAcquiredImage acquiredImage = null;
do
{
try
{
// acquire image from WIA device
acquiredImage = device.AcquireImageSync();
// if image is received
if (acquiredImage != null)
{
imageIndex++;
string filename = string.Format("scannedImage-{0}.png", imageIndex);
if (System.IO.File.Exists(filename))
System.IO.File.Delete(filename);
acquiredImage.Save(filename);
System.Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Acquired image is saved to a file '{0}'.", filename));
}
// if image is not received
else
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Scan is completed.");
break;
}
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Scan is failed: {0}", ex.Message));
break;
}
}
// while image is acquired
while (acquiredImage != null);
// close WIA device
device.Close();
// close WIA device manager
deviceManager.Close();
}
System.Console.ReadLine();
}
