CD-ROM that is included with the machine.

MFC Software Suite for the machine includes ScanSoft PaperPort for Brother and ScanSoft

Brother Resource Manager
The Brother Resource Manager application must be running for you to use the machine with your
®
Windows computer. MFC Software Suite and the Printer Driver automatically load the Resource
Manager, as needed. The Resource Manager allows the single bi-directional Parallel port on the
machine to simulate a Communications port for faxing and scanning and to simulate a Parallel port
®
for Windows GDI printing.

MFC Remote Setup

The MFC Remote Setup application allows you to quickly set up the machine by taking advantage
of the ease and speed of programming on your PC. When you access this application, the settings on
the machine will be downloaded automatically to your PC and displayed on your computer screen.
If you change the settings, you can upload them directly to the machine.
OK
This starts the process of uploading the data to the machine and exiting the remote setup program. If
an error message is displayed enter the correct data again, then click OK.
Cancel
This exits the remote setup application without uploading the data to the machine.
