Using the Control Panel Keys

Before you can use the Scan keys on the control panel, you must have connected the machine to your Windows® based PC and loaded the appropriate Brother Drivers for your version of Windows®. When you are ready to use the Scan keys, make sure the Brother Control Centre application is running on your PC. (For details about how to configure the Brother Control Centre buttons to launch the application of your choice using the Scan keys, see Brother Control Centre, page 77.)
