You can use the
(
Scan
) key on the control panel to scan documents directly into your word processing,
graphics or E-mail applications, to a folder on your PC or to a media card.
Before you can use the
(
Scan
) key on the control panel, you have to install the Brother MFL-Pro
software 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 the ControlCenter3 software are installed. Scanning using the

SCAN
on page 49.) For details about how to configure the scan settings and to launch the application of your
choice using the

) key, see
