113USING THE MULTI-FUNCTION LINK SOFTWARE (FOR MFC 1870MC AND MFC 1970MC ONLY) 3Double-click on the fax you wish to view. The Visioneer PaperPort Viewer will run automatically and the fax you selected from the list will be displayed. Scanning a Document The Brother Multi-Function Link 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, Aldus Pagemaker, Corel Draw and many more. To choose the Brother Multi-Function Link as your scanner driver, select it under the “Select scanner” or “Select source” option in your software. Scanning Options When you scan using the Brother Multi-Function Link Scanner driver, a scanning options dialog box will appear: Brother Serial MFC ScanCancel Status:Ready User DefaultsImage Type Tex t Photo 200 DPI STD 200 DPI FINE 400 DPI S.FINE Resolution Light Auto Dark Contrast
114CHAPTER FOURTEEN Set the following options based on each document to be scanned, then click the SCAN button to start scanning. Resolution You can choose one of three resolutions, 200 DPI STD, 200 DPI FINE or 400 DPI S.FINE. The higher the number of dpi (dots per inch), the clearer the image will appear on your PC. However, the size of the image file increases with the dpi. Try scanning at different resolutions to determine the best resolution for your needs. Contrast To have the scanner adjust the contrast automatically, choose Auto. If your original is too light, set the contrast to Light. If the original is too dark, set the contrast to dark. Image Type If you are scanning text or black and white line art, choose Text as the image type. If you’re scanning a photo or detailed picture with many different colors, choose Photo as the image type. Scanning into the PaperPort Viewer To scan into the PaperPort viewer that was provided with your MFC, run the PaperPort viewer program and then select the SCAN button on the top of the screen or select ACQUIRE from the File pull-down menu.
115 If you have a FAX 1570MC you can purchase the optional Multi-Function Link package (also called “Missing Link”). Multi-Function Link turns your fax machine into a multifunction center, by enabling you to use your fax machine as a printer and a scanner and to use it to fax messages from Windows applications in your computer. Multi-Function Link is available at most Brother retailers. If you cannot find it, you can order Multi-Function Link directly from Brother. The item number is PCI-1. Installation instructions will be included with PCI-1. However, it is important that you hook up your fax machine to your computer before you install the software. 15 CHAPTER FIFTEEN Multi-Function Link (option) For FAX 1570MC
