Scanning

Scanning a document using the WIA driver

WIA compliant

2

For Windows® XP/Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 you can choose Windows® Imaging Acquisition (WIA) when scanning images. You can scan images directly into the PaperPort™ 12SE viewer that Brother included with your machine or you can scan images directly into any other applications that support WIA or TWAIN scanning.

NOTE

(For MFC-J4710DW)

Windows® XP does not support 2-sided scan in the WIA driver.

If you want to do 2-sided scanning, use the TWAIN driver. For more information, see Scanning a document using the TWAIN driver on page 38.

Scanning a document into the computer

There are two ways to scan a whole page. You can either use the ADF (automatic document feeder) or the Flatbed scanner glass.

If you want to scan and then crop a portion of a page after pre-scanning the document, you must scan using the scanner glass (Flatbed). (See Pre-Scanning and cropping a portion using the scanner glass on page 49.)
