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 PaperPort™ 11SE 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®, 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.
