    Scanning operations and the drivers used will differ depending on the operating system you are using. As 
    default, the machine uses a TWAIN compliant driver when scanning documents from your applications. „ For Windows
    ® XP
    Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver and a Windows
    ® Imaging 
    Acquisition (WIA) driver. 
    Windows
    ® XP users can select either driver when scanning 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
