As far as I see there is neither a brother4 driver (backend) in SANE
nor does SANE know about your USB scanner model.

http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=&model=&bus=usb&v=04f9&p=0263
results "No matches found." and
http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=Brother&model=&bus=usb&v=&p=
does not list a "Brother MFC-J6710DW" and even
http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html
does not list a "brother4" driver (backend).

Therefore it seems you use a currently unknown third-party driver.

Regarding "Third-Party Scanner Drivers" have a look at
