Documents written in pencil

Documents of uneven thickness, such as envelopes

Documents with large wrinkles or curls

Documents that use tracing paper

Documents that use coated paper

Photographs (photographic paper)

Documents printed on perforated paper

Documents printed on unusually-shaped paper (not square or rectangular)

Documents with photos, notes, or stickers affixed to them

Documents that use carbonless paper

Documents that use loose-leaf paper or any paper with holes in it

Documents with paper clips or staples

Documents with wet ink

Fabrics, metallic sheets, or overhead projector sheets

Glossy or mirrored media

Documents that exceed recommended thicknesses

IMPORTANT Carbonless papers contain chemical substances that may damage the rollers (for example, the pick-up

roller). If paper jams occur frequently, clean the reverse roller and pick-up roller. (See Clean the Scanner and Rollers on page 205.) The life of the reverse roller and pick-up roller may be reduced compared to scanning wood-containing paper.

When scanning wood-containing papers, the life of the reverse roller and pick-up roller may be reduced compared to scanning wood-free paper.

The reverse roller and pick-up roller may become damaged when a photo or sticky note on the document touches these parts during scanning.

The surface of the document may be damaged when scanning glossy papers such as photographs.

The damage caused by using any unacceptable documents with your Brother machine may not be covered under warranty.

Conditions for Multifeed Detection 2

Multifeed is an error where two or more sheets are fed through the ADF at once. It is also called a multifeed when a different document length is detected.

Multifeed detection is performed by either checking the overlapping of documents, length of the documents, or the combination of both. The following conditions are required for an accurate detection.

Detection by overlapping

Load documents of the same paper weight in the Paper Guides.

Suitable paper weight: between 27 g/m2 and 413 g/m2.

Do not punch holes within 40 mm over the centre of the document.

Do not attach other documents within 40 mm over the centre of the document.

NOTE The condition applies when the document is set in the centre of the pick-up roller.

When you use detection by overlapping, scanning thick documents, such as plastic cards, will be incorrectly detected as a multifeed.

To scan these documents successfully, disable the multifeed detection function.

Scanning a Mixed Batch 2

The following conditions apply when scanning a mixed batch of documents with different paper weights, friction coefficients or sizes.

Make sure to test a few sheets first to check if the documents can be scanned.

Paper direction

Align the direction of the paper fibre with the feed direction.

Paper weight

Only paper weights between 40 g/m2 and 413 g/m2 can be used.

Friction coefficient

We recommend using the same type of paper from the same manufacturer.

When papers of different manufacturers/brands are mixed, it affects the feeding performance as the difference in the friction coefficient increases.

We recommend using friction coefficients between 0.35 and 0.60 (reference value for paper friction coefficient).

Document position

Use paper sizes that fit the 39 mm width of the pick-up roller in the centre.

Document Specifications

56

2

Paper size

When you scan a mixed batch with different sizes, not feeding the documents straight may cause problems, such as paper jams or part of the image to appear missing.

We recommend checking the documents thoroughly before scanning and also checking the image if the document was skewed.

IMPORTANT When scanning a mixed batch with different sizes, documents are more likely to skew because the paper guides do not contact every sheet.

Documents that cannot be scanned in a mixed batch

The following types of documents cannot be mixed in the same batch:

Carbonless paper

Bond paper

Perforated documents

Thermal paper

Carbon-backed paper

OHP film

Tracing paper

Synthetic paper

IMPORTANT The following types of documents may not be scanned successfully:

Bent or damaged documents

Thin paper (less than 40 g/m2)

Documents with large wrinkles or curls

Bent or damaged documents

Documents that use tracing paper

Documents that use coated paper

Photographs (photographic paper)

Documents printed on perforated paper

Documents printed on unusually-shaped paper (not square or rectangular)

Documents with photos, notes, or stickers attached to them

Documents that use carbonless paper

Documents that use loose-leaf paper or any paper with holes in it

CAUTION

To avoid cutting yourself, do not slide or scrape your hand or fingers along the edge of the Carrier Sheet.

IMPORTANT To avoid warping the Carrier Sheet, do not place the Carrier Sheet in direct sunlight or in an area subject

to high temperatures and high humidity.

To avoid damaging the Carrier Sheet, do not bend or pull it. Do not use a damaged Carrier Sheet as it may produce incorrect scan results.

IMPORTANT To avoid document jams, do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down. For more information, refer to the

instructions printed on the Carrier Sheet itself or see Load Documents on page 59.

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.

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.

The damage caused by using any unacceptable document with your Brother machine may not be covered under warranty.

Grey (Error Diffusion)

Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images without using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a grey appearance.)

True Grey

Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of grey.

24bit Colour

Uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image. Although using 24bit Colour creates an image with the most accurate colour reproduction, it requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.

NOTE (ADS-2800W / ADS-3600W)

If you continue to use the machine without cleaning, problems like document jams, multifeeds and misfeeds can easily occur. When Scheduled Maintenance alert appears, you must clean the machine promptly.

You can clean the glass strips with a lint-free cloth. When finished, run your fingertip 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 need to repeat the cleaning process three or four times. To test, scan a document after each cleaning attempt.

When there is a spot of dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip the scanned sample shows a vertical line.

After the glass strip is cleaned the vertical line is gone.
