4 Scan Preparation

Set up your machine for Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) use

1 Open the Top Cover (1), pull the Cover Extension (2) out, and then unfold the Document Guides (3).

2 Lift the Document Stopper (1) and slide it to fit the size of your paper.

Set up your machine for Flatbed use

1 Lift the document cover (1).

2 Make sure the scanner glass is empty.

Load documents

IMPORTANT

• The ADF can hold up to 100 pages and feeds each sheet individually. Use 20 lb (80g / m^2) paper and always fan the pages before placing them in the ADF.
• DO NOT pull on the document while it is feeding.
  DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper-clipped, pasted, or taped.
• DO NOT try to scan cardboard or fabric.

NOTE

• Make sure the documents that have ink or correction fluid on them are completely dry.
• Certain types of plastic cards may be scratched when scanned. To prevent damage to the card, we recommend using the Carrier Sheet or scanner glass.
• If misfeeds frequently occur when you scan thin sheets, reduce the number of documents held in the ADF, and then start scanning again.

Loading documents in the ADF

Fan the pages several times along both the long edge and the short edge.

Adjust the Document Guides (1) to fit the width of your document.

NOTE

When scanning documents with punch holes, such as continuous form paper, slide the Document Guide Stopper (1) up, and then extend the Document Guide (2).

Place the pages, face down, top edge first in the ADF between the Guides until you feel them touch the inside of the machine.

■ For plastic cards: Place your card, face down and short side first in the ADF between the Guides until you feel it touch the inside of the machine. Load only one plastic card at a time.
- For documents longer than Letter/A4 size: If the document is longer than the Top Cover, support the document with your hand. Load only one document at a time. See Acceptable documents on page 5.

Loading documents on the Flatbed's scanner glass

1 Lift the document cover (1).

Place the document face down in the right corner of the scanner glass (1), as shown.

3 Close the document cover.

Loading multiple different-size documents in the ADF

NOTE

Make sure that the narrowest document is wide enough to touch the ADF's feed rollers, or it may cause a document jam.

Stack the documents on top of each other, making sure that the top edge and the left side of each document are aligned.

Adjust the Document Guides (1) to fit the width of the largest document.

Place the documents, face down, top edge first in the ADF between the Guides until you feel them touch the inside of the machine.

Loading documents using the Carrier Sheet in the ADF

To purchase a Carrier Sheet, find contact information for your local Brother office at www.brother.com

IMPORTANT

• Do not write on the Carrier Sheet, as the writing may be seen in scanned documents. If the Carrier Sheet becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.
• Do not leave documents in the Carrier Sheet for extended periods of time, as the printing on the documents may bleed through onto the Carrier Sheet.
• Do not place the Carrier Sheet in direct sunlight or in an area subject to high temperatures and high humidity, as the Carrier Sheet may warp.
• Do not place large or heavy objects on the Carrier Sheet when it is lying flat.
• Do not bend or pull the Carrier Sheet. If it becomes damaged, it may not be acceptable for scanning - do not use it.
• Do not scan multiple Carrier Sheets in a row.

Insert the document into the Carrier Sheet.

NOTE

• Place the document in the center of the Carrier Sheet and align the top of the document with the top of the Carrier Sheet.
• To avoid document jams, do not put several small documents into the Carrier Sheet at the same time. Insert only one document into the Carrier Sheet at a time.

Adjust the Document Guides (1) to fit the width of the Carrier Sheet.

Place the Carrier Sheet in the ADF between the Guides until you feel it touch the inside of the machine.

NOTE

To avoid document jams, do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down.

Loading documents wider than Letter/A4 size

You can scan documents that are wider than Letter/A4 size using the Carrier Sheet.

Before scanning, see Loading documents using the Carrier Sheet in the ADF on page 16 for basic usage instructions and notes about the Carrier Sheet.

For best results, carefully fold your document in half, making sure all the corners are even, and then insert the document into the Carrier Sheet.

Adjust the Document Guides (1) to fit the width of the Carrier Sheet.

Place the Carrier Sheet in the ADF between the Guides until you feel it touch the inside of the machine.

NOTE

To reduce the white space in the center of a scanned page, be sure to position the folded edge of the original document closer to the right edge of the Carrier Sheet.

For example, to scan both the front and back of a color document page in color, select the Front Color and Back Color check boxes. For a black and white scan of the front and a color scan of the back, select Front B&W and Back Color.

NOTE

• Select more than one image type check box to generate multiple scan results from a single scan. For example, if you select Front Color and Front Gray, and then scan your document, scan data in both color and gray is saved.
• If you select Front Auto Color Detection, you must select Back Auto Color Detection as a back image type (and the other way round). These two options work only with each other.
• Back Auto Color Detection, Back Color, Back Gray and Back B&W is not available when using the scanner glass.

Image Selection group

The Image Selection group lets you configure detailed settings used when scanning in each color mode. Select an image type and customize detailed settings. You can apply different settings to each image type.

Image Type	Description
Color	Select Color if your original is in color and you want an exact copy.
Gray	Select Gray if your original contains shades of gray.
B&W	Select B&W if your original is typed, written in pencil, or written in pen.
Auto Color Detection	Select Auto Color Detection to automatically detect and scan the front or back of your color document. If your document is in color, the machine automatically scans the document as a color image. If your document is not in color, select either Black and White or Gray from the Non-Color Selection drop-down list. Use this option if your document is multi-page and includes both color and black and white.

Binarization / Document Type / Non-Color Selection

This field name changes based on your choice in the Image Selection group.

Binarization (B&W mode only)

Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image into a black and white image. There are several methods of performing this conversion.

Conversion Methods	Description
Dynamic Threshold	Select Dynamic Threshold to allow the machine to dynamically evaluate each document to produce the highest quality image. Select this option to scan documents containing faint text, shaded background, or color background. If you select Dynamic Threshold: Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are not available.
Fixed Processing	Select Fixed Processing for black and white and other high-contrast documents. A single level is set to determine the black and white transition. The threshold is programmable over the entire density range. If you select Fixed Processing, Contrast is not available.
Halftone 1-5	Select Halftone to view a gray image composed of different-sized dots. In other machines, this is sometimes called “Grayscale”.
Error Diffusion	Select Error Diffusion for a type of Halftone. Error Diffusion results in good image texture and makes text in images more legible than Halftone 1-5 above.

Halftone

Diffusion

■ Document Type (Gray mode only)

When you select Gray as the image type for your scanned document, you can choose from three document types:

Document Type	Description
Document	Select Document if your original contains only text or a mixture of text and graphics. This is the optimal setting for regular business documents.

Non-Color Selection (Auto Color Detection mode only)

If your document is non-color, you can choose the output to be either Black and White or Gray. This option is useful when you scan a combination of color and non-color documents.

Sensitivity / Threshold

■ Sensitivity (available when you select Dynamic Threshold or Auto Color Detection)

Sensitivity of Dynamic Threshold:

If your document contains small dots or speckles and you want to remove them, increase the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the right.

Sensitivity of Auto Color Detection:

If your document contains primarily black and white text with a small amount of light or pale color that you do not want to be recognized as color, reduce the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the left.

• Threshold (available when you select Fixed Processing or Document)

A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and unneeded information. A high threshold value produces darker images, and can be used to help faint images stand out.

Brightness

Use the Brightness bar to lighten or darken an image. The greater the value, the clearer the image.

Contrast

Use the Contrast bar to adjust the range between the darkest and the lightest shades in the image. The greater the value, the greater the difference between light and dark.

For example, to scan both the front and back of a color document page in color, select the Front Color and Back Color check boxes. For a black and white scan of the front and a color scan of the back, select Front B&W and Back Color.

NOTE

• Select more than one image type check box to generate multiple scan results from a single scan. For example, if you select Front Color and Front Gray, and then scan your document, scan data in both color and gray is saved.
• If you select Front Auto Detection, you must select Back Auto Detection as a back image type (and the other way round). These two options work only with each other.
• Back Auto Detection, Back Color, Back Gray and Back B&W is not available when using the scanner glass.

Image Selection group

The Image Selection group lets you configure detailed settings used when scanning in each color mode. Select an image type and customize detailed settings. You can apply different settings to each image type.

Image Type	Description
Color	Select Color if your original is in color and you want an exact copy.
Gray	Select Gray if your original contains shades of gray.
B&W	Select B&W if your original is typed, written in pencil, or written in pen.
Auto Detection	Select Auto Detection to automatically detect and scan the front or back of your color document. If your document is in color, the machine automatically scans the document as a color image. If your document is not in color, select either Black and White or Gray from the Non-Color Selection pop-up list. Use this option if your document is multi-page and includes both color and black and white.

Binarization / Document Type

This field name changes based on your choice in the Image Selection group.

Binarization (B&W mode only)

Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a black and white image. There are several methods of performing this conversion.

Conversion Methods	Description
Dynamic Threshold	Select Dynamic Threshold to allow the machine to dynamically evaluate each document to produce the highest quality image. Select this option to scan documents containing faint text, shaded background, or color background. If you select Dynamic Threshold: Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are not available.
Fixed Processing	Select Fixed Processing for black and white and other high-contrast documents. A single level is set to determine the black and white transition. The threshold is programmable over the entire density range. If you select Fixed Processing, Contrast is not available.
Halftone 1-5	Select Halftone to view a gray image composed of different-sized dots. In other machines, this is sometimes called “Grayscale”.
Error Diffusion	Select Error Diffusion for a type of Halftone. Error Diffusion results in good image texture and makes text in images more legible than Halftone 1-5 above.

Sensitivity / Threshold

■ Sensitivity (available when you select Dynamic Threshold)

If your document contains small dots or speckles and you want to remove them, increase the sensitivity value by moving the bar to the right.

■ Threshold (available when you select Fixed Processing or Document)

A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and unneeded information. A high threshold value produces darker images, and can be used to help faint images stand out.

Brightness

Use the Brightness bar to lighten or darken an image. The greater the value, the clearer the image.

Contrast

Use the Contrast bar to adjust the range between the darkest and the lightest shades in the image. The greater the value, the greater the difference between light and dark.

Resolution

Select a resolution value from the pop-up list. The greater the value, the higher the resolution, and larger the file size.

You can type a custom resolution value in the Resolution field.

Invert

Use Invert to reverse the brightness and the colors in the image. The default setting is Black on White background. To reverse this, select White on Black.

7 Maintenance

IMPORTANT

Do not use any solvents or corrosive liquids, such as alcohol or kerosene, to clean any part of your Brother machine, or the plastic may be permanently damaged.

Clean the outside of your machine

To prevent dust accumulation, we recommend cleaning the exterior of your Brother machine periodically. Wipe the outside of the machine with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.

Clean the Scanner Glass

Press and hold down

to turn the machine off.

Lift the document cover.

Clean the scanner glass under the document cover with a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water.

NOTE

In addition to cleaning the scanner glass and glass strip with a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water, run your finger tip over the glass to see if you can feel anything on it. If you feel dirt or debris, clean the glass again, concentrating on that area. You may have to repeat the cleaning process three or four times. To test, scan after each cleaning.

Close the document cover.

Clean the inside of your machine

A spot of dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip may cause poor-quality scans. If a vertical line appears in the scanned data or if parts of the document are missing, you must clean the inside of the machine.

IMPORTANT

After 5,000 scans, you will need to clean the rollers. You can check the number of scans using the DS Capture application by going to Scanner Properties > Information.

For Windows®: see Information tab on page 62.

For Macintosh: see Information tab on page 93.

Software difficulties

Difficulty	Cause	Suggestions
When I click Scan in my scanning software, an error message appears: Cannot find the scanner or Operation system error.	This error message appears if your machine is not recognized by your computer.	1. Make sure your machine is connected correctly. 2. Confirm that the USB cable is working and that it is not frayed or damaged in any way.

I cannot install the scanner drivers. (Macintosh)	You may not have been given administrator privileges.	From the Apple menu, select System Preferences > System > Users & Groups. The left pane of the window lists the current accounts, one of which should be your name with the word “Admin” below. If this is not the case, contact your system administrator.
The file size is too large.	The physical size of the document and the amount of text / graphics on each page affect the resulting file size and cannot be changed.	To produce the smallest scan file for a given document, use the lowest resolution and Black and White mode, and scan the smallest area possible. Using the opposite settings (scanned in the highest resolution, in the Color mode, and scanning the largest area possible) produces the largest-sized file. For Windows®: see Change scan settings using the TWAIN driver on page 27. For Macintosh: see Change scan settings using the TWAIN driver on page 65.
