Importing Items from Other Applications

In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort® in a variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort® (MAX) files in several different ways:

Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft Excel.

Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows® Bitmap (BMP) or Tag Image File Format (TIFF).

Exporting Items in Other Formats

You can export or save PaperPort® items in several popular file formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, or self-viewing. For example, to create a file for an Internet Web site, export it as a JPEG file. Web pages often use JPEG files for displaying images.

TWAIN COMPLIANT

The Brother Multi-Function Link® Pro 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, CorelDraw and many more.

To choose Brother Multi-Function Link® Pro as your scanner driver, select it under the Select scanner— OR—Select source option in your software.
