I recently purchased an Imac(mid-2009) running El Capitan. It replaced an mid-2007 running Yosemite. I had been using a Brother DSmobile600 pass through scanner. I downloaded the drivers which were compatible up to Yosemite. When I open Printers and Scanners, it is not there. I can, calibrate it with the DS 600 calibrator in my applications folder. Any ideas?
Scanner not showing up in System Preferences

Hello and welcome.
I see that the drivers on Brother's website only show compatibility through Yosemite. That may be part of the issue. I assume you downloaded the driver from there, mounted the DMG, and installed as directed?
I have seen some scanner TWAIN drivers not work with later versions of macOS. Have you tried to use the scanner with the Image Capture application? Is it recognized there?

No worries.
It may not be a bad idea to contact Brother support...they may have some additional suggestions or have dealt with this previously.
Stay healthy and safe.
