Macintosh users: Brother Scanner Driver (TWAIN) These software packages are available on the disc that came with the Brother machine for your operating system or can be downloaded from the Brother website.
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: ControlCenter no longer works on their operating system (like on macOS Big Sur).

Brother Control Center free download - WebCam-Control-Center, Internet Cafe, ATI Catalyst Software Suite (Windows XP 64-bit), and many more programs. Upgraded my MAC to OS Catalina 10.15.2 and Control Center on my Brother will no longer function. Note comes back that - Answered by a verified Technician We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on our website. On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Dock & Menu Bar. Open Dock & Menu Bar preferences for me. Click a section in the sidebar to see items that are always in Control Center, or that you can add. Control Center: The items in this section are always shown in Control Center; you can’t remove them. Select an item in the sidebar to see a preview of it in Control Center on the right.

There is a twain scanner driver conflict with another scanner:

Disconnect the USB cable between the Macintosh and your Brother device.
Log on as an 'Administrator'.
Delete any scanner by another manufacturer (Macintosh HD/Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources)
Reboot the Mac.
When the Mac has rebooted, empty the Trash.
Plug in the USB cable and try to scan again.

I am still not able to scan:

Disconnect the USB cable between the Macintosh and your Brother device.
Reboot the Mac.
Log on as an 'Administrator'.
Delete the 'Brother TWAIN.ds' folder (Macintosh HD/Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/Brother TWAIN.ds).
Run the 'Print Center' or 'Printer Setup Utility' (from the Macintosh
HD/Applications/Utilities/Print Center or Printer Setup Utility folder), Click on the model name of your Brother product in the printer list and remove it by clicking the 'Delete' button.
Drag the 'Brother' folder (Macintosh HD/Library/Printers/Brother) into the Trash bin and then empty the trash bin.
Reboot the Mac
Insert your Brother CD-Rom and run the installation for the MFL-Pro software.
Once the installation reaches the Installation Type click Customize and make sure Brother RSP and BrotherTWAIN have a check mark then click Upgrade and finish the installation.
Restart your computer at the prompt and plug in the USB cable.
Scanning should now work and you can reinstall any other scanners if needed.

For Color Inkjet product users: If you want to delete the Brother Color Profiles, delete 'Brother xxxxx' in the Profiles folder in the 'ColorSync' folder.

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.
