Scanning a document 
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 can you scan images directly into the 
PaperPort
® viewer that Brother included with your DCP, 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.
How to scan using 
Windows
®
■The scanning operations and drivers will be different 
depending on your operating system.
For Windows® 95/98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional 
and Windows 
NT® Workstation 4.0
The DCP uses a TWAIN Compliant driver for scanning 
documents from your applications. (See Scanning a 
document, TWAIN compliant on page 8-1.)
For Windows
® XP
The DCP uses Windows
® Imaging Acquisition (WIA) for 
scanning documents. (See Scanning a document (For 
Windows
® XP only)
 on page 8-10.)
■For ScanSoft®, PaperPort® and TextBridge® OCR
Go to Using ScanSoft® PaperPort® and TextBridge® OCR
