Welcome to the HP User Community.

Assuming your Brother printer is supported, you likely just need to install the printer software.

Check with Brother printer support in your region for help with your printer.

Change the region to your location ...

========================================================================

There are Windows Scan and third-party applications (not related to printer brand).

Examples

NAPS2 – “Not Another PDF Scanner” (Free – Donations gladly accepted by the NAPS2 organization)

• Download-Save-Install >  NAPS2 
• Not another PDF Scanner – free program scans PDF files and image(s) as .jpeg or PDF file(s).
• Not always simple “Plug and Play”, nonetheless, this free software is powerful and configurable.

Notes

• Includes an OCR feature – may need Ghostscript add-on (See NAPS2 forum entry)
• Read the Support pages for information
• Read the Getting Started guide

Combining files?  Read the Command Line Usage guide > Select Combining and Converting Files

Windows Scan – Microsoft Store (formally Windows Store) - Requires Windows 8 or higher

• “Get” the application from the Store >  Windows Scan

Paint (mspaint)

Older software – not brilliant – does work for scanning images.                                                        

• Open  Paint
• Optional >> Expand the “white background” area to a size to accommodate your data.  If unknown, try 1300x1300
• File > Select “From Scanner or Camera”
• Select your printer > Follow the prompts to scan and then save your item
