Scanning a document using the TWAIN driver

TWAIN compliant

The Brother MFL-Pro Suite software includes a TWAIN compliant scanner driver. TWAIN drivers meet the
standard universal protocol for communicating between scanners and software applications. This means that
®
not only you can scan images directly into the PaperPort 9.0SE 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.
