Welcome — Introduction to Your DSmobile

®

Scanner

Congratulations on purchasing a DSmobile 600 document scanner!

We have designed this product to provide you with a simple but effective tool to capture, manage, and archive
documents of many types. We encourage you to read this User’s Guide carefully.
Your DSmobile 600 scanner Installation DVD comes with WHQL certified and/or tested drivers for
Windows

®

7, Windows Vista

®

and Windows

®

XP operating systems. The Windows

®

7 and Windows

Vista

®

drivers work with both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. This product features TWAIN 1.9 compatible

and Windows

®

Imaging Acquisition (WIA) drivers that will work with any of your TWAIN/WIA-compliant

imaging applications. These TWAIN/WIA drivers are automatically installed for the DSmobile 600 when you
load the Windows

®

drivers. If you experience any difficulty with any of these drivers, please check our website

http://www.brother.com to verify that you are using the latest version.

For your convenience, a version of PageManager

®

is included on the Installation DVD. This software program

allows you to scan and organize your digital files with the ability to view, edit, send, and save them. It will also
output various selectable file formats. Note that DSmobileSCAN II software outputs Adobe

®

PDF files as well

as .JPG and .TIF files. Please follow the on-screen instructions. For help with how to use this software, please
use the help facility within PageManager

®

.

Scanning using Apple

®

Mac OS

®

X is supported by a Mac

®

TWAIN driver using the “Image Capture” software

provided on the Macintosh

®

. This driver is included in the software DVD but must be manually installed. You

can also download the DSmobile 600 Mac OS

®

X driver from http://www.brother.com.

In the event that you have previously installed a driver for the DS600 (Windows: Ver B1.2.13 or below,
Macintosh: Ver B1.2.4 or below) and DSmobileSCANII (Ver 2.0.12 or below), your new scanner may not be
compatible with this driver and software. Brother recommends installing the latest driver and software from
the DVD that came with your scanner or download it from the web at http://solutions.brother.com.
