+=== Brother ===
+Brother currently provides four versions of scanner backends for various generations of its scanners. The newest (brscan4) is supported as a loadable submodule in NixOS. It can be activated by including the appropriate file in configuration.nix:
+<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">{
+  imports = [
+    <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/hardware/sane_extra_backends/brscan4.nix>
+    ./hardware-configuration.nix
+  ];
+}</syntaxhighlight>
+Then just add a scanner in the sane module:
+<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">{
+  hardware = {
+    sane = {
+      enable = true;
+      brscan4 = {
+        enable = true;
+        netDevices = {
+          home = { model = "MFC-L2700DN"; ip = "192.168.178.23"; };
+        };
+      };
+    };
+  };
+}</syntaxhighlight>
+It ''can'' take sane an actual reboot to pick up on the configuration changes.
