If you use the Scan key when connected on a network, see Using the Scan key (For models that support
duplex scanning) on page 82.
You can use (Scan) on the control panel to scan documents into your word processing, graphics or
E-mail applications or a folder on your PC. The advantage of using (Scan) is that you avoid the
mouse clicks needed to scan from your PC.
Before you can use (Scan) on the control panel, you have to install the Brother MFL-Pro 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 ControlCenter2 are installed. Scanning by (Scan) follows the configuration on
Device Button tab of ControlCenter2. (See SCAN on page 60.) For details about how to configure the scan
settings of the ControlCenter2 buttons and to launch the application of your choice using (Scan), see
Using ControlCenter2 on page 58.
(For models that support duplex scanning)
Note
If you want to scan a document using the duplex scanning feature, you need to put the document in the
ADF and then choose 2sided (L) edge or 2sided (S) edge depending on your document layout.
Choose your document layout from the following table:
