Scanning a Document
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.
Accessing the Scanner
To choose the Brother Multi-Function Link Pro as your scanner driver,
select it under the ÒSelect scannerÓÑORÑÒSelect sourceÓ option in your
software.

Scanning a Document into your PC
1Insert the document(s) face down in the document feeder of the MFC.
2Adjust the following settings, if needed, in the Scanner Setup  window:
¥  Resolution
¥  Gray Scale (Black & White, Gray [Error Diffusion], True Gray)
¥  Brightness
¥  Contrast
¥  Size
3  Select the Start button from the Scanner window.
When scanning is completed, the Visioneer PaperPort screen will appear
showing the image you scanned.
Settings in the Scanner Window
Image
Resolution
Resolution: Select the scanning resolution from the Resolution drop
down list.  Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time,
but can achieve a finer scanned image.
          When the setting is True Gray, 200 x 100 dpi and 200 x 400 dpi is not
          available.
Gray Scale
Gray Scale: Set the image Type to Black & White for text or line art.
For photographic images, set the image type to Gray (Error Diffusion)
or True Gray.
Gray (Error Diffusion) is used for documents that contain
photographic images or graphics.  (Error Diffusion is a method for
creating simulated gray images by placing black dots in a specific
matrix instead of true gray dots.)
64 True Gray mode is used for documents containing photographic
images or graphics. This mode requires the most memory and longest
transfer time. 
						

							143USING THE MULTI-FUNCTION LINK PRO SOFTWARE
Brightness
Brightness: Adjusting the brightness settings to obtain the best image.
The Brother Multi-Function Link Pro offers 100 brightness settings
(-50 to 50).  The default value is 0, representing an ÒaverageÓ setting.
You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right
to lighten the image or to the left to darken the image.  You can also
type a value in the box to set the settings.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan
the document again.
If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness value and scan the
document again.
Contrast
The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of
the gray scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is
selected as the gray Scale.
Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right)
emphasizes dark and light areas of the Image, while decreasing the
contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the left) ravels more detail
in gray areas.  Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in
the box to set the contrast.
Custom
Size
Set the Size to one of the following:
¥  Letter (8 1/2 x 11 in.)
¥   A4 (210 x 297 mm.)
¥  Legal (8 1/2 x 14 in.)
¥  A5 (148 x 210 mm.)
¥  B5 (182 x 257 mm.)
¥  Executive (7 1/4 x 10 1/2 in.)
¥  Business Card (60 x 90 mm.)
¥  Custom (User adjustable from 0.35 x 0.35 in. to 8.5 x 14 in.)
After you select a size, you can adjust the scanning area further by
using the left mouse button to drag the dotted outline of the scanning
area. This is useful when you want to crop an image when scanning.

setting and place the business card at the top center of a carrier sheet.
Carrier sheets are available from your Dealer.
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word
processor or other graphics application, you should try different
settings for the contrast, mode and resolution to see which settings
best suit your needs.
PreScanning an Image
PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution.  A
thumbnail version of the image will appear in the Scanning Area.  This is
only a preview of the image so you can see how it will look. The PreScan
button is used to preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions from
the image.  When you are satisfied with the preview, select the Start button
to scan the image.
1Insert the document face down in the document feeder of your MFC.

Brightness, Contrast, and Size in the Scanner Setup window, as needed.

NetCentric Internet Fax
Internet faxing (NetCentric FaxStorm) brings together the power of the PC
and the economy of the Internet. Outgoing faxes are relayed from your
desktop to a network providerÕs fax server over an IP connection. From the
server, the fax job is transmitted across the Internet using sophisticated
least-cost-routing algorithms, then delivered to a fax machine using local
phone lines, or to another computer as an e-mail attachment. Faxes can be
sent to a single recipient or to multiple recipients. NetCentricª FaxStorm
tracks your faxes to their destinations, and informs you of their status.
When servers are down due to Internet outages, NetCentricª FaxStorm re-
routes your fax jobs and requests for account status.
You can access incoming faxes from any web-connected desktop and even
forward them to others directly from the Inbox account.
For more information about how to use
NetCentricª FaxStorm, see the online HELP
files after you install NetCentricª FaxStorm on
your computer. Use the Help pull down menu to
access HELP.
Before You  Begin
Compatible Operating Systems
NetCentricª FaxStorm can be used with Windows¨ 3.1, Windows¨ 3.11,
Windows
¨ 95, 98 and Windows NT¨ Workstation Version 4.0 operating
systems to integrate with your Internet fax account.
