I have the MFC230 C and I can not get the blinking thing to scan period. It prints faxes and copyies but will not scan to document. Anyone help?

I am beyond frustrated. I’m not a stupid person, but absolutely nowhere in any of the documentation does it tell you how to move th metal bar that is smack in the middle under the glass so you can scan full pages. Do you know? (Soon to be tossed gift Brother thing otherwise.)

Would like to use adobe acrobat to scan on my Brother 420-CN. When I scan it comes out in jpeg which is ok but would like to use Adobe acrobat for an editable file.

How can I do this?

thanks, Bob

I got the MFC 240C. Of course, the scan part does not work like I thought a scanner is supposed to. I want to scan a document, have it appear on the computer screen, then be able to type on it, erase stuff on it, etc. Going to the site is a major pain in the butt. It takes forever to get anywhere then you can’t get where you want to go. Does ANYONE make a product that works out of the box without having a techie spend a couple hours and $$$$ to get it to do what you bought it to do? I swear, I think programming an old time VCR is simpler!! You’d think in this day and age, they would make a non-techie user friendly product that you could just plug in and use!!! What a concept!!!

Hi,

I have got a question with scanning using MFC-240C printer. I want to scan multiple pages and save all as one pdf document, but have not seen any setting I can activate to get it to work. I am able to scan pages and save as pdf documents, but each single page has to be saved as a document. If you know how to scan and save multiple pages to one pdf file using control center3 please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Vino

I came upon your website through Google and judging it by your pictures and words, I decided to bother you with a simple question; how to install (and where to get it from) scanning with the Brother MFC 240-C, which is what this site of yours is about. I recently bought a new MFC 240-C and have a new Acer - Windows Vista Home Basic laptop, however, a friend of mine installed on it Windows Office 2000 Professional. I am using the printer, copier fine, but need to get the Scanner feature activated, which I can’t seem to manage yet. I downloaded the Scanning instructions for it, as it is not on the Brother disk for Vista, but unfortunately I am not a technically oriented man. I can use several programs and do various tasks, but tend not to follow well instructions (they sound Greek to me…).
Well, anyway, what I would appreciate very much, if you could guide me through how to set up the scanner feature of the Brother unit. I will be greatful to you for your help.

I retired and moved to a small city in Mexico about a month ago, and I do not have access to a local Brother distributor, perhaps through e-mail you can help me solve it. It must ot be too complicated for someone like you. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Sincerely,
