Brother Control Center Features

Auto Configuration

During the installation process the Control Center checks your system to determine the default applications for E-mail, word processing and graphics viewer/editor. For example, if you are using Outlook as your default E-mail application, the Control Center automatically will create a link and a scanning application button for Outlook.

You can change a default application by right clicking on any of the scan buttons in the Control Center and selecting a different application. For example, you can change a scan button from MS Word

to MS Word Pad by changing the application that is listed for the Word Processor.
