Universal programs for scanning documents in Windows
In any of the programs if the driver for scanning is not automatically selected, you choose the driver depending on the program, so, for example, if there is no choice of settings, but you want them, and the driver has such an opportunity, then choose the TWAIN driver, if additional settings are not needed, then the WIA driver.
Win2ScanPDF
Simple and convenient program, the only disadvantage is that the format for scanning is only PDF. Does not require installation.
Formats: PDF only.
Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11.
License: Free of charge
Windows Scanner
Does not always see the scanner driver, because of this you have to resort to other scanning programs.
Formats: PDF, jpeg, png, xps, and others.
Windows: 10, 11
License: Free of charge
VueScan
First of all, let me say that this variant is here to show how to make scanners is not necessary. Everyone wants to eat, but not with such appetites.
Formats: PDF, TIFF, JPEG.
Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
License: Paid (free watermarked version). For $20 you can buy a license that gives you the ability to scan to JPEG format, that's something beyond...
Adobe Acrobat Reader
The functionality is huge, you can view PDF files, edit them (in the paid version), put stamps, but most of the functions are blocked in the latest versions 😉
Formats: PDF only.
Windows: 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
License: Paid, you can't scan in the free version (only on older versions)
Foxit Reader
In fact, it is practically a PDF editor, but only its paid version, the free one consists only in viewing and scanning, scans can be extended and scanned as many pages as you want.
From the minuses, if the PDF file is large, the program hangs and crashes...
Formats: PDF only.
Windows: 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
License: Free of charge
ScanLite - Document Scanning
The program is simple and that's probably all, from the minuses there are ads, sometimes antivirus is swearing
Formats: PDF, JPG.
Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
License: Free.
That's it, there are tons more free analogs, but these should be enough for you, if none of them work, it's probably in the drivers or the connection between the scanner and your computer.
