I think what you need is a file 61-local-sane.rules that has
something like:

ACTION!="add", GOTO="libsane_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", GOTO="libsane_rules_end"

SYSFS{idVendor}=="<brother vender id>", SYSFS{idProduct}=="<240c
product ID>", SYMLINK+="scanner-%k"

LABEL="libsane_rules_end"

You will have to fill in the correct vendor and product ID. You can
get them by running lsusb if you have it installed, or by looking in
/proc/bus/usb/devices.

Once the proper symlink is created, console.prems will take care of
setting the permissions so the user logged in at the console can use
it. You may want to file a bug report with the vendor and product
IDs so they can be added to the libsane rules.

You could just put the SYSFS rule in libsame.rules befor the LABEL
line, but you run the risk of it getting lost because of an update.
