12 USB cable scanning

Using the Scan button over a USB cable connection

NOTE

If you use the Scan button on a network, see Network Scanning on page 201.

You can use the Scan button on the Touch Panel to scan documents directly into your word processing, graphics or E-mail applications, to a folder on your computer, or to a memory card or USB Flash memory drive.

Before you can use the Scan button, you must install the Brother MFL-Pro Suite software and connect the machine to your computer. If you installed MFL-Pro Suite from the included CD-ROM, then the correct drivers and the ControlCenter software are installed.

You can change the Scan button settings using your Brother machine - however, these changes are only

temporary. If you want to make permanent changes, use the ControlCenter software. (For Windows®, see Configuring the Scan button settings on page 75 when choosing Home Mode, and see Configuring Scan button settings on page 90 when choosing Advanced Mode. For Macintosh, see Configuring Scan button settings on page 170.)
