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, Aldus Pagemaker, Corel Draw and many more.
113
To choose the Brother Multi-Function Link as your scanner driver, select it under
the “Select scanner” or “Select source” option in your software.

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.
Contrast
To have the scanner adjust the contrast automatically, choose Auto. If your
original is too light, set the contrast to Light. If the original is too dark, set the
contrast to dark.
Image Type
If you are scanning text or black and white line art, choose Text as the image
type. If you’re scanning a photo or detailed picture with many different colors,
choose Photo as the image type.
Scanning into the PaperPort Viewer
To scan into the PaperPort viewer that was provided with your MFC, run the
PaperPort viewer program and then select the SCAN button on the top of the
