®
XP/Windows Vista
®
Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver (See Scanning a document using
the TWAIN driver on page 35) and a Windows
®
Image Acquisition (WIA) driver (See Scanning a document
using the WIA driver (For Windows
®

on page 63.
• If your PC is protected by a firewall and is unable to network scan, you may need to configure the firewall
settings to allow communication through port number 54925 and 137. If you are using Windows
®
Firewall
and you installed MFL-Pro Suite from the CD-ROM, the necessary Firewall settings have already been
made. For more information, see Firewall settings (For Network users) on page 139.
Scanning a document using the TWAIN driver 2
The Brother MFL-Pro Suite software includes a TWAIN compliant scanner driver. TWAIN drivers meet the
standard universal protocol for communicating between scanners and applications. This means that you can
not only scan images directly into the PaperPort™ 11SE 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.
Scanning a document into the PC 2
There are two ways in which you can scan a whole page. You can either use the ADF (automatic document
feeder) or the scanner glass.
a Load your document.
b Start the ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE software that was installed during the MFL-Pro Suite installation
to scan a document.
