Hi.
I have a new multi-function printer/fax/scanner/copier. I hope someone
can help with a problem I have with scanning.
When I scan an image it is placed in a folder of my choice. However,
if I want to change the name of the image file I cannot as I do not
have the right permissions. I am the administrator and only user of
the machine. Also, when I try to move the image to the trash I have to
enter my password. There's little I can do with the image once I have
scanned it.
All of that seems to be associated with " Permissions ".
Get Info tells me that the owner of the image is System and even when
I change the permissions I have to enter my password again. Once I
change the owner to Michael, then I can save it under a different name
but I still can't simply change the name of the file.
I have downloaded the latest software from the Brother website and
have also repaired permissions.
This seems to imply that you may have repaired Permissions .....
AFTER .... the latest software
was installed . If so , that is the way to go.
It is not unusual for Installers to alter the Permissions during the
installation process ,
so you do need to Repair them after an Installation.
You could try setting up a new User and try scanning from the new user
to see if that bypasses your problems.

Does anyone have any advice for me?
Thanks,
