Overview

As well as being able to scan a document to your computer, your Brother machine is capable of scanning
directly to an FTP server. This can be done on the scanner glass or through the Automatic Document Feeder
(ADF).
When you choose Scan to FTP, you can scan a black and white or color document directly to an FTP server
on your local network, or on the internet. The details required to use Scan to FTP can be entered by using
Web Based Management to pre-configure and store the details in an FTP Profile.
Benefits to the customer

If you wish to scan and send someone a copy of a file and do not wish to use Brother’s scan to E-mail
function (because the file you wish to send to them it too big for your E-mail software), you can use Scan
to FTP as an alternative method of scanning and sending a document. The only requirement is that they
can access the FTP server you will send the document to.
You can configure up to 10 Scan to FTP profiles. Once you have configured Scan to FTP profiles using
Web Based Management, you can operate Scan to FTP from the machine's control panel without using a
computer.
