If you want to scan from the machine on a network, you must choose the networked machine in the 
Device Selector application located in 

Macintosh HD

/

Library

/

Printers

/

Brother

/

Utilities/DeviceSelector 

or 

from the 

Model

 pop-up menu in the main screen of ControlCenter2. If you already installed the MFL-Pro Suite 

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. (See 

Control Panel Setup in

 the 

Network User’s 

Guide

.)

Note

For network scanning, a maximum 25 of 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.
