I don't have your exact Brother machine but my machine must be connected by USB to a client. So your options are either scan to the client computer and make that folder shareable through the network. Or, what I do mainly because the server has duplicate capabilities and great backup is map a network drive on the client machine with the "network drive" being the folder that the scans get sent to. The major problem with this is that the client machine must never fail as it is a pass through device.
I'm with Bert a little on this. I obviously have the Brother machines which are very dependable, inexpensive, and easy to work with. That being said, some of the capabilities are quite limited, one of which is the inability to scan directly to a .pdf file. That drives me nuts.
