BRAdmin Professional 3 is a utility for more advanced management of network connected Brother devices.
This utility can search for Brother products on your network and view the device status from an easy to read

and device settings along with the ability to update device firmware from a Windows

an HTML, CSV, TXT or SQL format.

client PC. This utility allows you to monitor machines that are connected to a client PC via the USB or parallel
interface from BRAdmin Professional 3.
