The Remote Setup program lets you configure many machine settings from a Windows® application. When you start this application, the settings on your machine will be downloaded automatically to your PC and displayed on your PC screen. If you change the settings, you can upload them directly to the machine.
Click the Start button, All Programs, Brother, MFC-XXXX (or MFC-XXXX LAN), and Remote Setup.
