Load documents

IMPORTANT

• The ADF can hold up to 100 pages and feeds each sheet individually. Use 80 g/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 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.
• 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

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

Load documents using the Carrier Sheet

The Carrier Sheet is an optional item that you can use with your scanner. To purchase a Carrier Sheet, see For Brother accessories & supplies on page 123.

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, and should not be used.
• Do not scan multiple Carrier Sheets in a row.

1 Insert the document into the Carrier Sheet.

NOTE

• Set 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.

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

Loading documents wider than Letter/A4 size

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

Before scanning, see Load documents using the Carrier Sheet on page 13 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.

Image Selection check boxes

Select the check boxes to customize the scan type. The Image Selection check box(es) are used to select the color mode with which the front or back of your document will be scanned. 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 vice versa. These two options work only with each other.

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 detail 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 scanner will automatically scan the document as a color image. If your document is not in color, choose 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 scanner 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.

■ 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 a darker image, 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 (dpi)

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

You can set a custom resolution value by clicking the

button to the right of the drop-down list.

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.

Punch Hole Removal

NOTE

Punch Hole Removal is not available when Automatic Cropping is disabled.

Background Setting

Specifying the Background Setting allows you to remove or smoothen the base color of scanned documents.

■ Background Processing

Select None, Smooth or Removal from the drop-down list. Smooth makes the background smooth, and Removal removes the background color.

■ Sensitivity

Move the Sensitivity slider to the left or right to adjust the sensitivity to base color or background. The greater the sensitivity value, the better the scan results but the slower the scanning speed.

Mode

This option is available only if you select Smooth under Background Processing, above. Select Auto to allow the software to process the image automatically. Select Moire to reduce moire.

Fill Color

This option is available only if you select Removal under Background Processing, above. Select White to make the background white. Select Auto to allow the software to detect the background color automatically and fill it in with the color.

Edge Fill

Select White or Black and set a value (in Millimeters) to add a white or black edge around the border of your scanned image.

Select the Edge Extend check box to add a white or black edge outside the border of your scanned image.

NOTE

• The maximum edge fill the value of the shorter side of a selected scan area. For example, if you select Letter size, which is 8.5 × 11 in., the maximum value for the white edge or black edge is 4.25 in. (or half of 8.5 in.). If you have selected an A4 size, which is 210 × 297 mm, the maximum value for the white edge or black edge is 105 mm (half of 210 mm).
• If you set a value greater than the maximum allowed, the value automatically defaults to the maximum.
• To disable this feature, set the value to 0.

Despeckle

This function allows you to remove small dots or specks called “noise,” from the background of scanned images. Removing unwanted speckles provides a clear image for OCR processing, and helps to reduce compressed file size.

Define the noise you want to remove by specifying Noise Number (size) and Noise Radius (range).

Cache

This option allows you to assign a specified amount of memory from the available RAM to process the image data. By specifying a smaller memory size, you free more memory for other applications you are running. By specifying a larger memory size, you have more memory to process the image data, which is useful especially when you have a large amount of documents to scan.

None

Select None from the Mode drop-down list to specify the number of pages to scan. For example, to scan only the first two pages of a document, move the page slider to 2.

Page Number

Select Page Number to limit your cache size by the number of scanned pages it contains. For your information, a Letter/A4 color document scanning at 300 dpi consumes approximately 24 MB.

■ Memory Size

Select Memory Size to limit your cache size by memory size. The amount of available memory depends on your computer.

Energy Saving Control

■ Enable Energy Saver (Power Saving Mode)

Move the slider to set the amount of idle time before the scanner enters Power Saving Mode.

■ Enable Power Off

Select the Enable Power Off check box and move the slider to set the amount of idle time before the machine automatically powers off.

NOTE

• You cannot disable Enable Energy Saver.
• If you clear the Enable Power Off check box, your machine will not power off automatically.
• Power Off time must be greater than or equal to Energy Saver time.

Show Scanning Progress

Select the Show Scanning Progress check box to display the scanning progress bar during scanning.

Show Warning Message

Select the Show Warning Message check box to display warning messages. If the rollers are near their end-of-life period, a warning message appears once per day until you reset the counter.

Save Settings after Closing

Select the Save Settings after Closing check box to save your settings when you close the Scanner Properties dialog box. The next time you open the Scanner Properties dialog box, the previous settings will appear.

Image Selection check boxes

Select the check boxes to customize the scan type. We added this sentence to clarify the difference between Image Selection check boxes and Image Selection group. 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 vice versa. These two options work only with each other.

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 detail 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 scanner will automatically scan the document as a color image. If your document is not in color, choose 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 scanner 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.

■ 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.
Photo	Select Photo if your original contains a photograph, to reproduce it in a vivid grayscale image.
Normal	Select Normal to adjust Brightness and Contrast manually.

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 a darker image, 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 Scanner Maintenance

IMPORTANT

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

Clean the outside of your scanner

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

Clean the inside of your scanner

A spot of dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip may cause poor-quality scans. Clean the inside of the scanner if a vertical line appears in the scanned data, or if areas are missing in the scanned data.

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 scanner is not recognized by your computer.	1. Make sure your scanner is connected correctly.2.

From the Apple menu, select System Preferences > System > Users & Groups.The left pane of the window will list the current accounts, one of which should be your name with the word “Admin” underneath. If this is not the case, contact your system administrator.
The file size is too large.	The size of the file will depend upon many factors. The physical size of the document and the amount of text / graphics on each page are factors that will affect the resulting file size. These factors 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) will produce the largest-sized file.For Windows®: see Change scan settings using the TWAIN driver on page 24.For Macintosh: see Change scan settings using the TWAIN driver on page 63.
