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.
(Windows
®
XP/Windows Vista
®
)
Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver (See Scanning a document using
the TWAIN driver on page 34) and a Windows
®
Imaging Acquisition (WIA) driver (See Scanning a
document using the WIA driver (Windows® XP/Windows Vista®) on page 41).

users can select either driver when scanning documents.
Note
• For Presto! PageManager, see Using Presto! PageManager on page 50.
• 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 108.
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 Presto! PageManager 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 Presto! PageManager 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 Presto! PageManager. The scanning
steps may vary when using other software applications.
