Scanning a document
TWAIN compliant
The Brother MFC Software Suite 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 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.
