Scanning a document 
TWAIN compliant
The Brother Multi-Function Link® Pro 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 
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®, 
Adobe® PageMaker®, CorelDraw® and many more.
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 MFC uses a TWAIN Compliant driver for scanning 
documents from your applications. See Scanning a document, 
TWAIN compliant on page 15-1.
For Windows
® XP
Use Windows
® Imaging Acquisition (WIA) for scanning 
documents. (See Scanning a document (For Windows® XP 
only) on page 15-10.)
For ScanSoft™, PaperPort® and TextBridge® OCR
Go to Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort® and TextBridge® OCR on 
page 15-19.
