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 (Scan) key uses the configuration in the Device Button tab of the ControlCenter3 software. For details about how to configure the scan settings and to launch the application of your choice using the (Scan) key, see Using ControlCenter3.
