Scanning from a Macintosh

9

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.

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/Device Selector or from the
Model pop-up menu of ControlCenter2.

• Duplex Scan is not available for legal size paper.

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. For each document you scan after this, choose
Acquire Image Data or Start. The menu option that lets you choose the Scanner driver may vary depending
on your application.

Note

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