Scanning
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.
®
For Windows
XP
Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver (See TWAIN compliant on page 33)
®
and a Windows
Imaging Acquisition (WIA) driver (See Scanning a document using the WIA driver (For
®
Windows
XP only) on page 42).
®
Windows
XP user's can choose either one of two when you scan documents.
Note
If your PC is protected by a firewall, and is unable to scan, you may need to configure the firewall settings
to allow communication through port number 137 and 54925. Visit the Brother Solutions Center
(http://solutions.brother.com) for more information.
