Note

If you use the Scan key when connected to a network, see Network Scanning (For models with built-in

network) on page 84.

You can use (Scan) on the control panel to scan documents into your word processing, graphics or E-mail applications or a folder on your PC.

Before you can use (Scan) on the control panel, you have to install the Brother MFL-Pro suite and connect the machine to your PC. If you installed the MFL-Pro Suite from the included CD-ROM then the

correct drivers and ControlCenter3 are installed. Scanning by (Scan) follows the configuration on Device Button tab of ControlCenter3. (See SCAN on page 62.) For details about how to configure the scan

settings of the ControlCenter3 buttons and to launch the application of your choice using (Scan), see Using ControlCenter3 on page 59.
