Using the Scan key (For USB cable users)

Note

If you use the Scan key on a network, see Using the Scan key.

You can use the

(Scan) key on the control panel to scan documents directly into your word processing, graphics or E-mail applications or to a folder on your Macintosh^®.

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 Macintosh^®. If you installed the MFL-Pro Suite from the included CD-ROM, then the correct drivers and ControlCenter2 are installed. Scanning by the

(Scan) key follows the configuration on the Device Button tab. (See SCAN.) For details about how to configure the ControlCenter2 buttons to launch the application of your choice using the

(Scan) key, see Using ControlCenter2.

You can scan either a black and white or colour document into your E-mail application as a file attachment. You can change Scan configuration. (See E-mail.)

Put the document face up in the ADF, or face down on the scanner glass.

Press the

(Scan) key.

Press

to choose Scan to E-mail.

Press OK.

Press Start.

The machine starts scanning the document, creates a file attachment, and launches your E-mail application, displaying the new message waiting to be addressed.

Note

If you want the scanned data in colour, choose colour in the scan type on the Device Button tab of the ControlCenter2 configuration. If you want the scanned data in black and white, choose black and white in the scan type on the Device Button tab of the ControlCenter2 configuration. (See E-mail.)
