Before scanning

To use the machine as a scanner, install a scanner driver. If the machine is on a network, configure it with a TCP/IP address.

Install the scanner drivers from the CD-ROM. (See Quick Setup Guide: Install MFL-Pro Suite.)

Configure the machine with a TCP/IP address if network scanning does not work. (See Software User’s Guide: Configuring Network Scanning for Windows®.)

NOTE

You can download the scanner driver without the Brother ControlCenter from the Brother Solutions Center at http://solutions.brother.com/.
