The scanning operations and drivers will be different depending on your operating system. The machine uses
a TWAIN compliant driver for scanning documents from your applications.
Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver (See Scanning a document using the
TWAIN driver uu page 30) and a Windows
®
Imaging Acquisition (WIA) driver (See Scanning a document
using the WIA driver uu page 36).
You can choose either one of the two when you scan documents.
Note
For Nuance™ PaperPort™ 12SE, see Using Nuance™ PaperPort™ 12SE uu page 42.
Scanning a document using the TWAIN driver

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™ 12SE 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
®
, CorelDRAW
®
and many more.
