DCP-8040
FAQs & Troubleshooting
I'm using Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition. I'm unable to scan using the Brother TWAIN Driver with a parallel connection after changing the user account using the "Switch User" option. What can I do?
To resolve this issue, use the WIA driver instead of the TWAIN driver. If you want to scan using the TWAIN driver, please use your Brother machine with the USB/ LAN connection.
If your question was not answered, have you checked other FAQs?
Have you checked the manuals?
