Go to the HP website and search for the scanner. There is a drivers section and it is associated with your OS. there you will find the correct driver and SW Package to download. Good luck.

You need to install the Twain driver and unless you use other software then you can use the software that came with the scanner. The driver should have been supplied on a CD or you can download it for the model scanner.

I tried Rack2, which came with my scanner, but then I uninstalled it. The bundled Organizer software is pretty straightforward without the hokey Rack2 interface.

Yes. The Scanner and CC4 work with Windows 8/8.1. If you have problems with the scanner showing up in Windows 8 or 8.1, then upgrade the firmware (tool on the drivers page for Brother). You will have to upgrade from a Windows 7, or below, OS. No one mentioned this, anywhere! I had upgraded to Win8.1, and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the scanner to install for days, but it worked fine for my Win7 box. I finally upgraded the firmware and it installed like a charm. I'm guessing new ones sold by Amazon are already on the new firmware, but since people use Amazon to look up information on products bought elsewhere, I thought this would be useful information, and also provides a definitive answer.

Hello, you can use the Scan Disk, this is what I purchased and it works beautifully! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=scan+disk

The scanner has a usb plug, and should come with said cable...all you do is hook up the cable to an available usb port on your computer.Install the cd that came with the scanner first...and it does automatic updates.

HP seems to have Win 8 drivers on their site, but I no longer own this scanner so I can say if they work or not.

I don't think so because I searched for scanners that worked with Windows 7 especially. I do recall the instructions mentioned one could get an app that would enable it for Windows 8. Instead of that hassle, just search Amazon for scanners Windows 8 compatible.

Scanning should be independent from printing so it shouldn't be a problem as long as you are running on Windows 7 or earlier. Window's 8 might be a problem. Hope this helps

I don't know about other versions but I'm using Windows 7 Professional and the scanner works fine.

Not sure on what software name but I reloaded the mfg. disc from the old scanner I had 4years ago...Works well with windows 8 and my adobe acrobat pro Just be careful if you intend to travel with this scanner alot

Have you looked at the User's manual. It's on the CD and there should be an icon on your screen. You probably have inadvertently changed one of your scan options.

I think the scanning software has some error correction capabilities It seems to work okay for me.If not maybe a third-party scanning software such as something by nuisance

Yes. I run Windows 8 and it works fine. The scanner actually works, too, which seems rare on a value machine.

Yes, it does work with Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. If attach the scanner to your PC with a USB cable Windows 8 recognizes the micro SD storage card and you can view the scans that are on the card. The scanner should be ON before attached it to your PC.

You can choose either before scanning. HP even offers an APP to handle the scanning from your PC.
