Error Screen
 

Please make sure that your Brother machine is ON and it is correctly connected to your computer by the USB cable.

 


If the Full Driver & Software Packages downloaded from the "Download" section was installed into your computer with the built-in driver already installed, the TWAIN driver was not installed. Since ControlCenter3 uses the TWAIN driver when scanning, this error occurs. Please go to Step 1 to check if the TWAIN driver is installed correctly.
 

  • The built-in driver is included with Windows 7 and installed automatically by connecting your machine to the Windows 7 computer via the USB interface. The built-in driver is also called "Inbox driver".
     
  • TWAIN driver makes the scanner compatible with any TWAIN-supporting software.
