Looking for an alternative to Brother ControlCenter?
Brother ControlCenter is the free software that comes with your Brother scanner. So why would you be looking for an alternative? There are two main reasons people look for an alternative: 802.11n wlan adapter driver download.
- ControlCenter no longer works on their operating system (like on macOS Big Sur)
- They want more features from their scanner than ControlCenter provides.
Most Brother models offer support for macOS Catalina (macOS v10.15.x). The charts below indicate that models offer support for macOS v10.15.x including drivers and utilities available for download. If you are using a recently released operating system on your computer, download and install the latest driver from the Downloads section.

If there are any updates or new features or bug fixes available, you can download them easily from the Brother website. Just follow the simple instructions and you’ll be all set.

ControlCenter Cons

I have a MFC-8660DN multi-function printer. There's a piece of software called the Brother Control Center that lets you initiate scans from your desktop and route the scan to a specific application. To get it..
- Visit this Brother site.
- Choose 'USA'
- Choose your model number (MFC-8660DN)
- Choose 'United States'
- Choose 'Drivers' then 'Mac OS X (10.5)' then 'English'
- Then choose the 'Scanner Driver' and download it, then install.
- You'll have to restart your computer and a dialogue will come up. You can have the printer associated by name or IP address. I chose IP address. Then I added a name of my computer so that you can use the printer interface to send things to a particular computer.

Update - A few weeks later I started having trouble accessing the scanning capabilities from the Mac. I spoke with Brother Support and they took me thru the following re-installation steps, which solved the problem.
- Delete the 'Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Preferences/Brother' folder.
- Delete the 'Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/Brother TWAIN.ds' file.
- Delete the 'Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities/ControlCenter' and 'Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities/DeviceSelector' folders.
- Restart computer.
- Empty your trash.
- Re-install the Control Center following the steps above.
