Brother Linux Scanner driver /Scan key tool download

Brother has prepared an RPM installer package which automatically copies the relevant driver files to your Linux distribution. These drivers are designed to work using the SANE scanning system. Check the compatible models listed below to download the driver.

Also, Brother has prepared the Scan key tool for both USB and Network Users. This enables users to scan documents by using the scan-key on the Brother machine.

If you have any questions about or require troubleshooting with Linux, please refer to the FAQ.

• The Scanner driver will work with machines connected through the USB and Network interfaces.

• The Scan key tool will work with machines connected through both USB and Network. If you want to use the functions of Scan to Image /File /E-mail with Linux, install the Scan key tool after installing the 0.2.4 version of Scanner driver.

• There are two types of Scanner drivers for different brother models. Please be sure to check which driver (brscan or brscan2) can be used for your product before downloading and installing.

• If you have installed both “brscan” and “brscan2” drivers on your PC and you uninstall “brscan”, you may experience problems. If this happens, run the following command: "/usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan2 -i".
