Using the Color Scan Key

You can use the Scan to key on the control panel to scan originals into your word processing, graphics or E-mail applications. The advantage of using the Scan to key is that you avoid the mouse clicks required to scan from your PC.

If you have connected a Macintosh, the control panel keys will not work with your computer. Please see page 21-1.

Before you can use the Scan to key on the control panel, you must have connected the MFC to your Windows® based PC and loaded the appropriate Brother Drivers for your version of Windows® . When you are ready to use the Scan to key, make sure the Brother Control Center application is running on your PC. (For details about how to configure the Brother Control Center buttons to launch the application of your choice using the Scan to key, see Brother Control Center Features, page 15-6to 15-11or 16-4to 16-7.)

Scan to E-mail

You can scan either a black and white or a color original into your E-mail application as a file attachment. Although the Brother Control Center can be configured to send only black and white or color file attachments at one time, you can easily change this setting. (For details see Scan to E-mail, pages 15-7to 15-9.)
