Scan to Email Attachment Using ControlCenter4 Home Mode (Windows)
You can scan a document directly into your default E-mail application using ControlCenter4, 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 scanned file to an E-mail message.
NOTE: Illustrations shown below are from a representative product and operating system, and may differ from your Brother machine and operating system.
