Using Brother TWAIN Scanner Driver
with Your Apple
® New Power Macintosh ®
G3 or iMac ™
The Brother software includes a TWAIN compliant Scanner driver for
Macintosh G3 and iMac. This TWAIN Scanner driver allows you to use
the copier/printer as a scanner from any TWAIN compliant software
application.
Most image editing applications support the TWAIN specification. For
example, Kai’s Power Soap is standard software with iMac and it supports
a TWAIN driver, so Kai’s Power Soap can scan images from the Brother
machine.
Importing Images
Although Brother does not bundle OCR software for the Macintosh/iMac,
many editing and OCR software products are available for
Macintosh/iMac. Make sure your OCR application supports the TWAIN
specification. Then you can choose the Brother TWAIN Scanner driver
from within that application.
Importing images is independent of the Brother Macintosh/iMac software.
The file formats that are supported depend on the application you are using.
To check the file formats that are supported, run your image editing
application and choose the Import option on the File or Edit menu.
Exporting Images in Other Formats
When you use an industry standard TWAIN driver (the Brother TWAIN
Driver) the exportable file formats depend on the software application you
are using. Typically, the more sophisticated or expensive the image editing
application, the more file formats that are supported.
To check the file formats that are supported, run your image editing
application and choose the Export option on the File or Edit menu.
