Before using Network Scanning

Configuring Network Scanning

If you want to scan from the machine on a network, you must select the networked machine in the Device
Selector application located in Macintosh HD/Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities or from the model pull-down list
in the main screen of ControlCenter2. If you already installed the MFL-Pro Software following the network
installation steps in the Quick Setup Guide then this selection should already be made.
To use the machine as a Network Scanner, the machine must be configured with a TCP/IP address. You can
set or change the address settings from the control panel. (Please see the Network User's Guide on the
CD-ROM.)
Note
Max. 25 clients can be connected to one machine on a Network. For example, if 30 clients try to connect at
a time, 5 clients will not be shown on the LCD. Network Scanning and ControlCenter2 are not supported for
®
Mac OS 9.1-9.2.
