Using Brother TWAIN Scanner Driver with
Your Apple Macintosh G3 or iMac
The Brother MFC software includes an Apple TWAIN Scanner driver for
Macintosh G3 or iMac. This Macintosh TWAIN Scanner driver can be
used with any application that supports the TWAIN specification.
Most image editing applications support the TWAIN specification. For
example, Kai’s Power Soap is standard software with iMac and it supports
a TWAIN driver, so Kai’s Power Soap can scan images from the Brother
machine.
Importing Images
Although Brother does not bundle OCR software for the Macintosh G3/
iMac, many editing and OCR software products are available for
Macintosh G3/iMac. Make sure your OCR application supports the
TWAIN specification. Then you can choose the Brother TWAIN Scanner
driver from that application.
Importing images is independent of the Brother MFC Macintosh G3/iMac
software. The file formats that are supported depend on the application
you are using.
To check the file formats that are supported, run your image editing
application and choose the Import option on the File or Edit menu.
Exporting Images in Other Formats
When you use an industry standard TWAIN driver (the Brother TWAIN
Driver) the exportable file formats depend on the software application you
are using. Typically, the more sophisticated or expensive the image editing
application, the more file formats that are supported.
To check the file formats that are supported, run your image editing
application and choose the Export option on the File or Edit menu.
