PRINTER/SCANNER 5 Using the Windows®-Based Brother Control Centre (ForWindows®Only) Brother Control Centre The Brother Control Centre is a software utility that pops up on the PC screen whenever paper is placed in the ADF. This allows you to access the most frequently used scanning applications only with a few mouse clicks. Using the Control Centre eliminates the need to manually launch the specific applications. The Brother Control Centre provides two categories of functions: 1. Scan directly to a file, E-mail, word processor or graphic application of choice 2. Copy functions. AutoLoad the Brother Control Centre The Control Centre is initially configured to automatically load each time Windows® is started. When the Control Centre is loaded, the Control Centre icon will appear in the task bar. If you don't want the Control Centre to load automatically, you can turn off AutoLoad. If the Control Centre icon does not appear in your taskbar, you will have to launch this software. From the Start menu, select Programs, PaperPort, and then double-click Brother SmartUI PopUp.
