Use the Brother iPrint&Scan app

The free Brother iPrint&Scan app turns your phone into a print and scan remote — print photos, scan to phone, even check ink and toner levels.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • You want to print from a phone with more control than AirPrint
  • You want to scan straight to your phone
  • You want to check ink/toner levels remotely

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    Install Brother iPrint&Scan from the App Store or Play Store.

  2. 2

    Open the app — it auto-detects any Brother on the same Wi-Fi.

  3. 3

    Tap Print to pick a photo or document, or Scan to capture a page to your phone.

  4. 4

    Use the “Settings” tab to check ink/toner levels and order supplies.

  5. 5

    Set the printer you use most as the default so the app opens straight to it.

Pro tip

The app scans multi-page documents from your phone camera and OCRs them into searchable PDFs — a free alternative to a desktop scanner for receipts and forms.
