TWAIN Compliant
The Brother Multi-Function Link
TWAIN drivers meet the standard universal protocol for communicating between scanners and
software applications. This means that not only can you scan images directly into the PaperPort
viewer that Brother included with your MFC, 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
