Any OCR software (chinese) with DCP-7030?

Hi!
I'm new here and hope that someone has some suggestions for my problem. I'm studying Chinese and therefore I often use Wenlin.
I recently bought the Brother's DCP-7030 (Monolaserprinter/scanner) and now I'm trying to find a OCR-software which also recognize Chinese caracters (simplified). I've already tried to contact Brother directly to ask them if they offer a own OCR-software with this function for MacOS; since today I haven't received any replies.
That's why I'm putting this question here: does someone know about a DCP-7030 OCR software? If not, which would you suggest? Freeware would be nice, but if I need to buy it (as long it's not too expensive), it's also ok. I just need one which works.

Thanks.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hi Tom

thanks for your quick reply!
The mainlink is very useful, also for my student colleagues who have just started with studying chinese.

It seems that the "Pro" version is more than enough for me. Probably I can find a bundle (scanner/ReadIris 12) to a cheaper price than that offered on their homepage.

Kiny, I have been considering the purchase of that DCP-7030 laser. After move than a month of use, have you found in trouble with it in Snow Leopard? How is scanning using the Brother software? Or have you tried VueScan? Does it print well from postscript based apps like Adobe Illustrator? And how is the halftone output when printing photos?

Sorry for all the questions, but it's next to impossible to find any decent reviews on what looks to be an exceptional all-in-one monochrome laser.

Thank you.
