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 feature does not work when scanning from the glass platen. 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 you want to scan the document from the glass platen, please use the TWAIN 
driver (see Scanning a Document into your PC, page 60).
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.

Brother Control Centre Features
Auto Configuration
During the installation process the Control Centre checks your system to determine the default 
applications for E-mail, word processing and graphics viewer/editor. For example, if you are using 
Outlook as your default E-mail application, the Control Centre automatically will create a link and 
a scanning application button for Outlook.
You can change a default application by right clicking on any of the scan buttons in the Control 
Centre and selecting a different application. For example, you can change a scan button from 
MS Word  to MS Word Pad   by changing the application that is 
listed for the Word Processor.

file type, destination directory and file name, as needed.
Scan to E-mail—enables you, with just two mouse clicks, to scan a picture or text document directly 
into an E-mail application as a standard attachment. You have the option of selecting the file type

insert the text original (not graphic image) into a word processing file with just two mouse clicks. 
You have the option of selecting the destination word processing program, such as Word Pad, MS 
Word, Word Perfect, etc.
