How to scan using Windows
®
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.
The scanning operations and drivers will be different depending
on your operating system.
