Brother Control Centre Features

Auto Configuration

During the installation process the Control Centre 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 Centre 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

Centre 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.
