Using the Scan key
(For USB cable users)

Note Note
 
If you use the Scan key on a network, see Using the Scan key.
You can use the Graphic (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 or to a memory card.
Before you can use the Graphic (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 Graphic (Scan) key uses the configuration of the Device Button tab of the ControlCenter3 software. (See SCAN.) For details about how to configure the scan settings and to launch the application of your choice using the Graphic (Scan) key, see Using ControlCenter3.
