When I try to use the scan key on my network connected machine, I receive the error "Check connection".
The brscan-skey utility is configured to use the eth0 network adapter by default.
If you are using a different network adapter, you will have to change it:
1. Open /usr/local/Brother/sane/brscan-skey-(version).cfg using your preferred text editor.
2. Add the line "eth=eth1" to the cfg file. If you are using a different adapter number, modify the line accordingly.
3. Restart the scan-key program ("brscan-skey -t" to terminate the program and "brscan-skey" to start.)
*** It may take a few minutes for the modification to take effect.

I cannot use my usb-connected-scanner with a normal user. When scanning I receive the error "Error during device I/O".
The Brother Linux scanner driver works only with a super user.
To use it with a normal user, you need to make the settings which depend on your distribution.
When I scan multiple page documents using the ADF, all pages are feeded, but only page 1 shows in XSANE. (For XSANE 0.99 or later)
On xsane 0.99 or later, you will have to indicate the number of pages. Please increase the number in the box at the top left corner on the xsane main window.
When I scan multiple page documents using the ADF, all pages are feeded, but only page 1 shows in XSANE. (For XSANE 0.98 or earlier)
You will have to modify the multipage scanning option in XSANE. in XSANE, click on Preferences, Setup, Enhancements. Change the "Automatic document Feeder Modus:" from "None" to " Automatic Document Feeder".
