Note
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 PC, to a USB Flash memory drive or memory card.
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 PC. If you installed the MFL-Pro Suite from the included CD-ROM, then the correct drivers and the ControlCenter3 software are installed. Scanning using the
