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 Macintosh
®
. The advantage of using (Scan) is that you avoid
the mouse clicks needed to scan from your Macintosh
®
.
Before you can use (Scan) on the control panel, you have to install the Brother MFL-Pro 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 the ControlCenter2 are installed. Scanning by (Scan) follows the
configuration on the Device Button tab of the ControlCenter2. (See SCAN on page 147.) For details about
how to configure the scan settings of the ControlCenter2 buttons and to launch the application of your choice
using (Scan), see SCAN on page 147.
