The Brother MFL-Pro Suite software includes a TWAIN compliant scanner driver. TWAIN drivers meet the standard universal protocol for communicating between scanners and applications. This means that you can not only scan images directly into the Presto! PageManager viewer that Brother included with your machine, but you can also scan images directly into hundreds of other software applications that support TWAIN scanning. These applications include popular programs like Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe® PageMaker®, CorelDRAW® and many more.
Scanning a document into the PC
There are two ways in which you can scan a whole page. You can either use the ADF (automatic document feeder) or the scanner glass.
| 1 | Load your document. |
| 2 | Start the Presto! PageManager software that was installed during the MFL-Pro Suite installation to scan a document.  Note | | The instructions for scanning in this Guide are for when you use Presto! PageManager. The scanning steps may vary when using other software applications. |
|
| 3 | Click File, then Select Source. |
| 4 | Choose TW-Brother MFC-XXXX or TW-Brother MFC-XXXX LAN from the Select Source list. |
| 5 | Click Tool, Scan Settings and uncheck Suppress Twain User Interface. Click OK. |
| 6 | Click Acquire Image Data. The Scanner Setup dialog box appears. |
| 7 | Adjust the following settings, if needed, in the Scanner Setup dialog box: | • | Scan (Image Type) (1) | | • | Resolution (2) | | • | Scan Type (3) | | • | Reduce Noise (4) | | • | Brightness (5) | | • | Contrast (6) | | • | Document Size (7) |
|
| 8 | Click Start. When scanning is finished, click Cancel to return to the Presto! PageManager window. Note | | After you select a document size, you can adjust the scanning area further by clicking the left mouse button and dragging it. This is required when you want to crop an image when scanning. |
