2 Scanning 2 The scanning operations and the drivers used will be different depending on your operating system. The machine uses a TWAIN compliant driver for scanning documents from your applications. 2 For Windows® XP/Windows Vista® Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver (See Scanning a document using the TWAIN driver on page 37) and a Windows® Imaging Acquisition (WIA) driver (See Scanning a document using the WIA driver (For Windows® XP/Windows Vista®) on page 44). Windows® XP/Windows Vista® users can select either driver when scanning documents. Note • For ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE, see Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE with OCR by NUANCE™ on page 65. • 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 151. 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. Note The instructions for scanning in this Guide are for when you use ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE. The scanning steps may vary when using other software applications. c Click File, then Scan or Get Photo. You can also click the Scan or Get Photo button.
