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

®

9.0 SE 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.
