Brother Control Center

The Brother Control Center 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 Center

eliminates the need to manually launch the specific applications.

The Brother Control Center provides three categories of functions:

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

choice

2. Enhanced copy functions, such as Two on One Copying

3. PC Faxing using the Brother MFL Pro PC Fax software
