Brother ds-600 Scanner not found in Mavericks

I have the same issue with my DS-600 as everyone else. Downloaded Presto! Page Manager but get an error message: Presto! PageManager 9 Installer" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

Has anyone experienced this and figured out how to install the program?

System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> General -> Allow apps downloaded from. Change setting to anywhere.

Thank you SO MUCH!

FWIW, Brother has this posted on their website (which does not even suggest they are working on correcting the problem):

Title:

I have upgraded my Macintosh to OS X 10.9, and now I cannot scan using the Image Capture software.

Description:

This issue occurs because the ICA scanner driver required by the Image Capture software is not available for your Brother machine. Please use other TWAIN compliant software such as Presto! PageManager® 9.

The ICA scanner driver is also not available for OS X 10.8 or earlier. However, the Image Capture software may work on OS X 10.8 or earlier if the TWAIN scanner driver is used instead of the ICA scanner driver.

I installed the Brother software, calibrated the scanner; even though it itsn't listed, downloaded the newest Presto, clicked the Acquire button. The scanner is not found?

Good suggestion. I will try via windows because the Maverick isn't working with the DS-600.

I contacted Brother and finally got the scanner working via Presto PageManager. I had to change the source.

Select File, Select Source, DS600(not BrotherTwain) and the scanner will be recognized.

Life saver. Been struggling with this for a while. Works like an absolute charm just as you described.

I'd like to add that I tried the software from PageManager but I could only come across an outdated version. This link was posted in one of these threads

http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/os/macintosh.html#sc

It may have been in this thread but I can't remember. It's taken every bit of effort and energy I have to avoid going outside just to drop kick this thing.

If you click on the scanner drivers there's a PageMaster version that will automatically download. I installed that, restarted the computer and then followed your instructions. Works perfectly.

Thanks.

So now I'm supposed to be a $69.95 piece of software to allow my previously functioning scanner to work? 😟

Have you checked out ExactScan? http://exactscan.com it works beautifully with my old Kodak, and my new Canon scanners. Produced really great, small and clean PDF files for archiving!

Guys, I found the link to download the Presto software "sponsored" by brother. Worked perfect for me. http://www.brotherquattro.com/FAQs/Solution.aspx?FAQID=200000038907&Model=1853&P roductID=DS610&Keyword=#.U_P9Xbx5NYc Hope it helps!

I'm happy to report I have this working on 10.9!

Here are the steps I went through.

#1 Installed the 10.9 drivers from the Brother website

#2 Followed the directions here http://macmanus.nl/2013/11/28/use-unsupported-scanner-in-mavericks/

I installed the corresponding packages from here http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/ instead of the ones linked in the instructions. But I did all of them in the same order.

#3 Installed the Twainbridge fix package from here http://janegil.net/2014/01/twain-scanners-in-os-x-maverick/

Nothing was working until I did step #3. I'm not sure if all of the steps are necessary. This is just the order in which I tried things. I had to "allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere" in security & privacy settings.

After step #3 I was able to add the scanner in system preferences->printers & scanners. After I added it, I ran the calibration tool provided by Brother. Now I can use the Image Capture app.

Hope this helps other people as this was a pain to get working!

Don't waste your time or money on PageManager.

This developer found how to install Apple's TWAINBridge converter from Mountain Lion into Mavericks and Yosemite.

Results: fixed the problem (recognized scanner natively) in less than 5 minutes, with less than 1 MB, for free.
