Scanning from a Macintosh

10

The Brother machine software includes a TWAIN Scanner driver for Macintosh. You can use this Macintosh
TWAIN Scanner driver with any applications that support TWAIN specifications.
When you scan a document, you can either use the ADF (automatic document feeder) or the Flatbed scanner
glass. For more information on loading the documents, see Using the ADF (available for ADF models) and
Using the scanner glass in the User’s Guide.

Note

If you want to scan from a machine on a network, choose the networked machine in the Device Selector
application located in Macintosh HD/Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities/DeviceSelector or from the
Model pop-up menu of ControlCenter2.

Accessing the scanner

10

Run your Macintosh TWAIN-compliant application. The first time you use the Brother TWAIN driver, set it as
the default driver by choosing Select Source (or another menu name for choosing the default driver). For
each document you scan after this, choose Acquire Image Data or Start. The scanner setup dialog box
appears.

Note

The method of choosing the default driver or scanning a document may vary depending on the application
you are using.
