Scanning a Document

The Brother Multi-function Link

®

 software 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 MFC, 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, Corel Draw and many more.

To choose the Brother Multi-function Link

®

 as your scanner driver, select it under the 

“Select scanner” or “Select source” option in your software.  

Scanning Options

When you scan using the Brother Multi-function Link

®

 Scanner driver, a scanning 

options dialog box will appear:

Set the following options based on each document to be scanned, then click the SCAN 
button to start scanning.

Resolution

You can choose one of three resolutions, 200 DPI STD, 200 DPI FINE, or 400 DPI 
S.FINE.  The higher the number of dpi (dots per inch), the clearer the image will 
appear on your PC.  However, the size of the image file increases with the dpi.  Try 
scanning at different resolutions to determine the best resolution for your needs.
