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.
Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver (See Scanning a document using the
TWAIN driver uu page 48) and a Windows
using the WIA driver uu page 56).
You can choose either one of the two when you scan documents.
Note
• For Nuance™ PaperPort™ 12SE, see Using Nuance™ PaperPort™ 12SE uu page 66.
• If your PC is protected by a firewall and is unable to network scan, you may need to configure the firewall
settings to allow communication through port number 54925 and 137. If you are using Windows
and you installed MFL-Pro Suite from the installer CD-ROM, the necessary Firewall settings have already
been made. For more information, see Firewall settings (For Network users) uu page 125.

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

Scanning a document into the PC

feeder) or the scanner glass.

b

The instructions for scanning in this Guide are for when you use Nuance™ PaperPort™ 12SE. The
scanning steps may vary when using other software applications.
