Brother Control Center

The Brother Control Center is a software utility that pops up on the PC screen whenever paper is placed in the ADF. This allows you to access the most frequently used scanning applications only with a few mouse clicks. Using the Control Center eliminates the need to manually launch the specific applications.

The Brother Control Center provides three categories of functions:

1Scan directly to a file, E-mail, word processor or graphic application of choice

2Enhanced copy functions, such as Two on One Copying

3PC Faxing using the Brother MFL Pro PC Fax software
