12 USB cable scanning

Using the Scan key over a USB cable connection

Note

If you use the SCAN key on a network, see Network Scanning on page 183.

You can use the (SCAN) key on the control panel to scan documents directly into your word processing, graphics or E-mail applications, to a folder on your computer, to a memory card or USB Flash memory drive.

Before you can use the (SCAN) key on the control panel, you have to install the Brother MFL-Pro software suite and connect the machine to your computer. If you installed the MFL-Pro Suite from the included CD-ROM, then the correct drivers and the ControlCenter software are installed. Scanning using the

(SCAN) key uses the configuration of the Device Scan Settings screen of ControlCenter4 or

Device Button tab of ControlCenter2. (For Windows®, see Scan tab on page 59 when choosing Home Mode, see Scan tab on page 70 when choosing Advanced Mode. For Macintosh, see SCAN on page 154.) For details about how to configure the scan settings and to launch the application of your

choice using the (SCAN) key, see ControlCenter4 on page 54 (Windows®) or ControlCenter2 on pages 152 (Macintosh).
