Scan a document and e-mail it as an attachment (For Macintosh)
You can scan a document directly into your default E-mail application using ControlCenter2, so you can send the scanned data as an attachment.
The Scan to E-mail feature does not support Webmail services. Use the Scan to Image or Scan to File feature to scan a document or a picture, and then attach the file of the scanned data to an email message.
NOTE: Illustrations shown below are from a representative product and operating system and may differ from your Brother machine and operating system.

Click E-mail .
The Scan to E-mail dialog box will appear. You can configure the scan settings.
Click Start Scanning . Your default E-mail application will start and the image will be attached to a new E-mail.
