Importing Items from Other Applications
In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort
®
in a
variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort
®
(MAX) files in several
different ways:
Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft
Excel.
Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows
®
Bitmap (BMP)
or Tag Image File Format (TIFF).
Exporting Items in Other Formats
You can export or save PaperPort
®
items in several popular file formats,
such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, or self-viewing. For example, to create a file
for an Internet Web site, export it as a JPEG file. Web pages often use
JPEG files for displaying images.
Scanning a Document
TWAIN COMPLIANT
The Brother Multi-Function Link
®
Pro software includes a TWAIN
compliant scanner driver. TWAIN drivers meet the standard universal
protocol for communicating between scanners and software applications.
This means that not only can you scan images directly into the PaperPort
®
viewer that Brother included with your MFC, 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.
To choose Brother Multi-Function Link
®
Pro as your scanner driver, select
it under the Select scanner—or—Select source option in your software.
