2 Scanning

The scanning operations and drivers will be different depending on your operating system. The machine uses a TWAIN compliant driver for scanning documents from your applications.

•

For Windows^® XP/ Windows Vista™

Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver (See Scanning a document using the TWAIN driver) and a Windows^® Imaging Acquisition (WIA) driver (See Scanning a document using the WIA driver (For Windows^® XP/ Windows Vista™)).

Windows^® XP and Windows Vista™ users can choose either one of two when you scan documents.

Note

•	For ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE, see Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE with OCR by NUANCE™.
•	If your PC is protected by a firewall, and is unable to network scan, you may need to configure the firewall settings to allow communication through port number 54925 and 137. See Firewall settings (For Network users).

Scanning a document using the TWAIN driver

TWAIN compliant

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^®, Adobe^® PageMaker^®, CorelDraw^® and many more.
