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

can also scan images directly into hundreds of other software applications that support TWAIN scanning.
These applications include popular programs like Adobe
