The scanning operations and drivers will be different depending on your operating system. The machine uses
a TWAIN compliant driver for scanning documents from your applications.
■
For Windows ® XP
Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver (see Scanning a document using the
TWAIN driver on page 2-1) and a Windows Imaging Acquisition (WIA) driver (see Scanning a document using
the WIA driver (For Windows
® XP only) on page 2-8). Windows ® XP users can select either one of the two
when you scan documents.

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 you can scan images directly into the PaperPort
® 9.0SE viewer that Brother included with your
machine, 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.
