14 Using the Windows®-Based Brother MFL-Pro Control Centre

Brother MFL-Pro Control Centre

The Brother Control Centre is a software utility that pops up on the PC screen whenever paper is placed in the automatic document feeder. This allows you to quite easily, with very few mouse clicks, access the most frequently used scanning applications. Using the Control Centre eliminates the need to manually launch the specific applications.

If you want to scan the document from glass platen, please use Scan to key on the control panel (See Using the Colour Scan Key , page 80) or TWAIN driver (See Scanning a Document , page 95)

The Brother Control Centre provides three categories of functions:

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

2.Copy operations

3.PC Faxing using the Brother MFL Pro PC Fax software MFC-5100C

AutoLoad the Brother Control Centre

The Control Centre is initially configured to automatically load each time Windows® is started.

When the Control Centre is loaded, the Control Centreicon will appear in the task bar. If you don’t want the Control Centre to load automatically, you can turn off AutoLoad.

If the Control Centreicon does not appear in your task bar, you will have to launch this software. From the Start menu, select Programs, PaperPort, and then double-click Brother SmartUI POPUP.
