Scan to your computer

Use the Brother iPrint&Scan app to send a scan straight to your PC. The printer scans, the file lands on your desktop — no email detour needed.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • You want a scanned page as a PDF on your PC
  • Scan button on the panel does nothing
  • Scanning worked before a reinstall

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    Install Brother iPrint&Scan from support.brother.com (Full Driver & Software Package).

  2. 2

    Place your page face-down on the glass, top-left corner aligned to the guide.

  3. 3

    Open iPrint&Scan on the PC, click Scan, and choose your scanner.

  4. 4

    Pick Document Feeder or Flatbed, set resolution (200 dpi is fine for text), and click Scan.

  5. 5

    Save the result as PDF, then open it to confirm the page is straight and complete.

Pro tip

For multi-page documents use the ADF (auto document feeder) and select “Document Feeder” — iPrint&Scan stacks every sheet into one PDF automatically.
