The Brother Control Centre is a software utility that pops up on the PC screen whenever paper is
placed in the automatic document feeder. This allows you to quite easily, with very few mouse
clicks, access the most frequently used scanning applications. Using the Control Centre eliminates
the need to manually launch the specific applications.
The Brother Control Centre provides three categories of functions:
1. Scan directly to a file, E-mail, word processor or graphic application of choice
2. Copy operations
3. PC Faxing using the Brother MFL Pro PC Fax software
