What if the Scan button on the Brother printer isn't working? Is there a way to scan multiple pages to a single PDF from a software app (such as Control Center 4) on the PC? Especially if my Brother printer doesn't have an automatic document feeder (so I have to use the flatbed scanner glass)?
That's a good question. I don't have an answer for you. That's something you'll have to play with to see if the Control Center software provides that capability. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I am wondering, if you found a solution? My Brother also doesn't have automatic feeder, and I also need multiple page pdf. When I got o sanner window id doesn't even give pdf file option.
@@feltingme I'm not sure why yours doesn't show a multiple page option. Our models must be different. There is a suite of software you can download from Brother's website. One of the Apps is the Control Center 4. In those Apps you can customize how your printer/scanner works.
Merci! Ca ma piquer la curiosité. La façon la plus simple pour rassemblée des images pour en faire un pdf c'est de simplement de sélectionner les images dans l'explorateur Windows et d'appuier sur le bouton gauche de la souris et sur la touche de votre clavier ( i )
Yes you can. There should be an app on your computer call "Brother iPrint&Scan". Inside that app you can configure the scan feature to scan to jpeg, pdf or other formats. You can also download that app if you don't already have it.
Good question. I'm not sure. I'm not able to test that because I'm remote from our office. I would think it would accept legal size paper because it works on letter size...but I'm just not sure.
Our printer is connected to a Windows 11 PC now, but I work from a Macbook Air and it works fine. The multi-page function is performed from the little LCD screen and buttons on the printer. It sounds like a driver issue on your Macbook. I would go to Brother's website and make sure you have the latest Mac driver for your laptop. If that's the case, I would back-rev to an older driver and see if maybe the multi-page function was broken during a driver update.
That was automatic when I selected the PC option in the window dialog. If yours doesn't connect to the PC then it's most likely not installed correctly on your computer. An easy way to re-install is to delete the Brother Scanner/Printer from Windows and then re-connect the Brother to the computer and let Windows install and use its drivers. If that fails then I would use the Brother software that came with your unit to re-install.
I wasn't the person who bought this for our office. Non of the original paperwork is available. It's not very fast. The number is probably not something you'd advertise. Are you interested in the model I used in this video?
It appears that model does support double sided paper. I don't have that model but I would look in the settings in the application that came with the printer. In that software/app you can customize your printer to your liking.
That's not an easy question to answer. Most likely the printer/scanner needs to be reinstalled on the PC. First check to see if you can print to it. My guess is you can't. I don't know the level of experience you have but a good solution is to reinstall by deleting the printer in Settings and then going through a normal installation. Are you connected with a cable between the computer and printer or are you using the WiFi/network connection to it? If you're using a WiFi connection, I've found that the printer/scanner doesn't wake-up properly if it hasn't been used for a while. Our solution was to connect it with a cable to make it a local printer to the PC and then share it from the PC to the network if you want other computers to use it.
Download the Brother iPrint&Scan App for your computer. I'm assuming you have a Windows PC. Windows should have a driver for the printer/scanner already in their library and should install when it senses the printer/scanner. The App that you download for your computer will help you make changes to the configuration and update drivers.
Are you running yours in wireless mode off your WiFi or connected directly to a PC with a USB cable? We had problems with ours when we ran in wireless mode. The printer would go to "sleep" after a period of time of not being used and disconnect from the WiFi. It would then have to be re-connected using the printer's software. There may be a setting in the printer itself that will disable the Power Management Sleep mode but I wasn't able to get it to work. We connected our printer to a PC using a USB cable and shared it to the network using Windows. I hope this helps.
