Compilation and Publication Notice

Under the supervision of Brother Industries, Ltd., this manual has been compiled and published, covering the latest product descriptions and specifications.

The contents of this manual and the specifications of this product are subject to change without notice.

Brother reserves the right to make changes without notice in the specifications and materials contained herein and shall not be responsible for any damages (including consequential) caused by reliance on the materials presented, including but not limited to typographical and other errors relating to the publication.

Choosing a location

Put your machine on a flat, level, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk. Put the machine near a standard grounded electrical socket. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 41 and 95F (5 and 35C) and the humidity is between 20 to 80% and where there is no condensation.

WARNING

DO NOT expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses, moisture or dust.

DO NOT place your machine on a carpet or rug, as this will expose it to dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical short or fire. It may also damage the machine and/or render it inoperable.

DO NOT place the machine near heaters, air conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators, radiators, or water. Doing so may create the risk of a electrical short or fire should water come into contact with the machine (including condensation from heating, air conditioning, and/or ventilation equipment that may be sufficient to create a electrical shock, short circuit or fire).

3

Product Safety Guide

DO NOT place the machine near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be spilled on it. Should chemicals come into contact with the machine, there may be a risk of fire or electric shock. In particular, organic solvents or liquids such as benzene, paint thinner, polish remover, or deodorizer may melt or dissolve the plastic cover and/or cables, resulting in a risk of fire or electric shock. These or other chemicals may also cause the machine to malfunction or become discolored.

The product should be placed so as not to come into contact with any wall or other device. Otherwise, it could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.

Instead:

Place the machine on a solid surface, never on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface.

Do not place this machine in a built-in installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.

CAUTION Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic area, ensure that the machine is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally knocked-over, which could cause injury to you or others and serious damage to the machine.

Ensure that cables and cords leading to the machine are secured so as not to pose a tripping hazard.

DO NOT place this machine on an unstable or tilted cart, stand, table or on any tilted/slanted surface. The machine is heavy and may fall, causing injury to you and serious damage to the machine.

4

Product Safety Guide

Make sure that no part of the machine protrudes from the desk or stand where the machine is located. In particular, do not leave the output tray open and extended beyond the edge of a cabinet, table or stand when the machine is located on the edge of a cabinet, table, stand, etc. As previously cautioned, make sure that the machine is located on a flat, level, and stable surface free from vibration. Failure to observe these precautions could cause the machine to fall, causing injury to you or others and serious damage to the machine.

IMPORTANT DO NOT place your machine next to sources of interference, such as speakers or the

base units of non-Brother cordless telephones. Doing so may interfere with the operation of the machine's electronic components.

DO NOT connect your machine to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can delete information from the machine's memory, and repeated cycling of the power can damage the machine.

After scanning a document, confirm that the accuracy and quality of the corresponding scan data meets your needs by confirming the size of the scan data, the amount of image data captured, image fidelity, color tones, etc.

Always confirm the scan data before destroying the original document.

It is possible that a portion of the scan data may be lost or damaged, therefore, read all instructions carefully and keep the following in mind.

16

Depending on the condition of the document, the document may become worn thin, distorted, dirty, or cracked during scanning. In this case, some or all of the scan data may be lost.

Confirm that the document has no wrinkles, bends, or holes.

If the inside of the machine is dirty, the document may become worn thin, distorted, dirty, or cracked during scanning. In this case, some or all of the scan data may be lost.

Clean the inside of the machine carefully and regularly.

The following may occur depending on the scan settings, such as document size, scanning resolution, color-related settings, single-side or double-side scanning settings, auto deskew, blank page skip, etc.

Text may be illegible or unclear if image resolution is too low.

Scan data of a color document may be captured in black-and-white.

Only one side of a two-sided document may be captured.

A portion of the document may not be scanned, or the size may be too small.

The document may only be scanned up to a certain point, after which scan data will be lost.

Blank pages may not be deleted, or pages may be deleted unnecessarily.

Margins may be added to the edges of the scan data.

Refer to the Users Guide for information about how to configure the scan settings.

Depending on the condition of the document (such as if it has wrinkles, bends, or holes) and consumables, multiple pages of a document may be fed at once, causing some pages to be missing from the scanned data.

Confirm that the document has no wrinkles, bends, or holes.

Replace all consumables periodically.

When scanning documents that are not within the recommended guidelines, or depending on the condition of the document (such as if it has wrinkles, bends, or holes), consumables, or the paper feeding mechanisms inside the machine, documents may become jammed inside the machine during scanning. In this case, some or all of the scan data may be lost. (Documents may be destroyed as a result of a paper jam.)

Refer to Acceptable Documents in the Users Guide for information about acceptable documents.

When scanning documents that have been marked with a fluorescent marker, marked areas may not be seen properly in the scan data, or the marker color may not be reproduced properly, depending on the color and density of the marker ink.

You may achieve more desirable results by increasing the scanning resolution. Refer to the Users Guide for information about resolution settings.
