Software OCR Brother mfc j5910dw

Hi all

I bought an iMac in March 2015, but my Brother MFC-J5910DW will not run the OCR scan because I don't have the software installed on my iMac. I had a PC when I bought the printer about 3 years ago and have this software, but it will not work on Apple products. I called their tech support and they don't have or won't send me the OCR software for my iMac.

Any suggestions?

A quick search lead me to the following:

You have downloaded and installed the proper software?

  • Brother MFC - J5910DW wireless not recognized

    I have a Brother MFC-J5910DW and Windows 8.   Everything was working fine until yesterday when the computer does not recognize the wireless connection and I received a print error message.  I tried to uninstall the software and downloaded the most recent software drivers from the manufacturer's website.  When I temporarily connect via USB cable to configure the printer, he finds the correct SSID.  However, as soon as I unplug the USB cable, I can not continue installing wireless because the printer is no longer visible.

    Hello

    Turn your router off and leave it off for 3 minutes. -Restart after that there
    initialized restart the printer and the computer. Then try the installation again.

  • Brother MFC 6490 CW drivers and software

    How to install the printer drivers for the brother MFC 6490 CW. I have the CD to install the driver and complete unit but there is a compatibility issue and I need to have the updated drivers? I also need to have the drivers saved on my computer so that when the device is plug-in with the USB cable it will be recognized and working properly. I tried to install the drivers from the international site of brothers with little or no lock is there a place to get updated drivers that are compatible with the newer versions of Windows so that I won't have to replace my printer and copier. The device works fine in all modes, if I can get the computer and printer to connect I can print from the programs I have on my computer, what can you add to my knowledge would be very beneficial.

    How do you know if you have Windows 32 or 64-bit

    Start > right click on computer

    Select Properties

    Under system, you will see listed Windows 32-bit or 64-bit

    32-bit applications can run on 64-bit systems, but not vice versa

    When you run older applications, you should consider the installation of XP Mode with Virtual PC for Windows 7 (free)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/Download.aspx

    It's as easy as 1-2-3

    Update of Brother MFC-9700 downloads - I suggest that you always go here looking for drivers.  You want to maybe create a folder and make the backup copies of the software.

  • Brother MFC-7420 does not appear on the Device Manager

    I run a Brother MFC-7420 on Windows Vista - do it for a few years. Last week, it stopped printing in the middle of a report. When I print, it shows Status: Error. I did that the USB is correctly plugged at the end of the printer and hard drive. I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled the driver software. The installation will not accomplish when I reconnect the USB hard drive according to the instructions. The printer does not appear in Device Manager - is usually present in the other devices folder, but who is absent too. Other thoughts?

    Found a solution to the problem - had to install with a USB port - see below:

  • Brother MFC-9130CW scanner no longer works with Windows 7

    My MFC-9130CW scanner stops inexplicably scans to my PC one day.  It worked great for several weeks but now, whenever I try to scan (either from the machine itself or the center of Brother on my computer), a generic "scanning failed" message appears.

    I contacted Brother support and they had me uninstall all software/drivers Brother and reinstall them, but I get the same error message when trying to scan.  IP address of the machine is valid, it is connected to our wireless network (I can print wireless) and I have even disabled the Windows Firewall (as support suggested brother).  Nothing works.  I am at a loss, because I have not changed anything that is related to my OS.

    The fact that you cannot scan even from the front Control Panel suggests that the machine has an internal problem that could fix only repairers specialist Brother or printer...

    There is a one year warranty on the machine. You should get it back to brother as soon as possible if the warranty is still good...

    Hello

    1. you receive the error message only when you scan directly from the Brother MFC-J615W printer?

    2. are you able to scan or print from the computer to which the printer is connected?

    If the problem occurs only when you try directly scan at the printer, then I would suggest that you contact the support of brother about the question.

  • Brother MFC-6520DW UK

    I just bought a Brother MFC-6520DW, but having problems using the features installed Control Center 4 or Paperporte. Comes with error message CC4-202-0000008 impossible to locate the PC, it is with a USB connection. I saw some answers to similar questions and have tried their responses, but can not solve. I am able to analyze through Control Panel devices but unfortunately this gives only a basic scan with no way of using PDF etc... Yes PC knows that the scanner is there and that can only be via USB connection I guess. Maybe it's not a problem of Windows 7, but maybe the Brother software. If I'm something contradictory by running a scanner Epson on the same PC?

    Any ideas would be welcome.

  • Problem install driver Brother MFC 8300 (using Windows Update)

    I need help for my printer to work with a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I had to reinstall due to a CMOS error, I think it was because of a dead battery.  It could even be something else because I had other problems with this facility (explained below).  In any case, the printer is a former Brother MFC 8300 (he was a workaholic!).  Past times, I have re-installed Windows, there have not been any problems with this printer.  I just install Windows Update driver (the driver is named 'Brother MFC8600/9650 Series' in Device Manager).  But this time the installed "Windows Update" the driver and says that everything is working properly but when I go to "Devices and printers" it does not appear in "Printers and faxes" (as he usually does).  FYI, there is a list for "USB Composite Device" in "Devices" that shows "Brother MFC8600/9650 series" as a scanner.  Don't know what that means.

    I also tried to manually download the driver of 'catalog.update.microsoft.com '.  I downloaded 2 different versions of the driver.  It has a size of 2.0 MB file and the other has a 2.3 MB file size.  I found myself by installing do not either because I didn't know where the appropriate destination location has been using the 'Expand' of the 'Command Prompt' command with "expand -F: * " ."  I think that the file for the "Windows Update" file size is 2.1 MB (my memory is not the biggest however).

    I am running as a "Standard user", but I installed all the drivers of devices as an administrator.  I also noticed a problem with an application that I used before this re - install, "Ultracopier.  On installs previous he has installed fine and he demanded 'Administrator' rights after the start.  But during this installation, it did not work at all and did not 'Administrator' rights after the start.  I also had problems with a 2 to external hard drive related to the permissions and access to certain files and folders.  I don't know if any of this matters but I thought that the more information the better.

    I hope someone can help me with this because I really need this printer to work.

    Hello

    Sorry for the late reply.

    I suggest that you restart the Printer Spooler service and see if that fixes the problem.

    A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print.

    Please follow the steps below:

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform the following steps:

    1. By clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, open administrative tools. In the search box, type Administrative Tools, and then click Administrative Tools.
    2. Double-click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    3. Right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.
    4. Under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
    5. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Startand then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    For more information, please see the link below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/why-cant-I-print

    If you are still facing problems while using the printer, I suggest to uninstall the driver again and install all the optional updates offered by Windows Update and then install the printer drivers if not included in the optional updates and see if the problem persists.

    To install optional updates, follow the steps below:

    1. Press the Windows key + R
    2. Type wuapp
    3. In the left pane, click search for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer
    4. If updates are found, click on view available updates.
    5. Select the optional updates, and then click on install. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Scan multiple pages to a pdf file using Windows Fax & Scan and a Brother MFC-7420 8

    When I try a new scan with the charger (one side of scan) selected, the scanner makes each page in a separate file which is read by the photo rather than Adobe software.  In addition, the Brother scanner has been reset so that it will no longer scan multiple pages into a single file using my brother responsible program in my old computer with Windows 7.  How can I back to simple B & W scan multiple pages into a single Adobe pdf?  Thank you

    Hello Norman,

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps:

    Scanning from the charger:

    Step 1: Click on the 'Start' button on your desktop and type 'brother' in the search field. Point to the name of your MFC and select "ControlCenterx" (where "x" is a number one digit) to load the ControlCenter application in the system tray to the left of the clock on your taskbar. Double-click the "ControlCenter" icon in the system tray.

    Step 2: Click on "Configuration" and select "Scan". Select 'File' as the type of scan to open the scan to the Configuration window.

    Step 3: Go to the 'Touch' tab and choose "PDF (*.)" (PDF),"" # no multi-page Tiff compressed (*.) " (TIF)"or" # Tablet multi-page Tiff (*.) " (TIF)"under File Types, as these types of files allow analyses of several pages.

    Step 4: Place the entire document in the ADF on the scanner and press the button "Scan" of the machine. Press the 'Arrow' key to select 'File' and press 'OK '. Press the button 'Start' to scan to a single document.

    Scan of the glass:

    Step 1: Lift the cover of the document on the Brother MFC, place the first page face down on the glass and close the lid.

    Step 2: Click the 'Start' button on the computer and in the search box, type "scansoft. "ScanSoft PaperPort" and select "PaperPort."

    Step 3: Select the Brother MFC as the scanner, and then select a profile, such as "B & W Document". Click on "search".

    Step 4: Remove the glass on the first page after that latter was analyzed and place the second page on the glass. Close the lid and click the button "Scan more Pages.

    Step 5: Browse all pages in the document one at a time. When you are finished, click the Finish"" button.

    Hope this helps, simply reply to get help on Windows.
