User-Friendly Programming

We have designed the machine with on-screen programming. User-friendly programming helps you

take full advantage of all the functions the machine has to offer.

Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created step-by-step on-screen prompts to

help you program the machine. All you need to do is follow the prompts as they guide you through

the function menu selections, programming options and settings. Additionally, you can program

settings more quickly by pressing

Menu/Set

and the menu number using the numeric keys.

A complete list of the function selections, options, and settings that are available is provided in the

appendix of this manual. (See

Menu Mode & Menu Selection Table

, page 8.)

The machine may be damaged or may not work correctly if this is not

observed.

Warnings detail precautions you must take to avoid possible personal

injury.

Preparation and Simple Use Guide

PREPARATION

AND SIMPLE USE

Preparation and Simple Use Guide

Steps to prepare and use the machine simply

Follow the steps below to prepare and use the machine simply.

However, before you perform these steps, see Important Safety Information (page 81), and

Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide (page 4).

1 Read the Quick Setup Guide

Follow the instructions on the Brother Quick Setup Guide to set up the machine.

2 Setting the Document

You can scan the document for copying from either the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) or

from the glass platen.

Using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)

The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 30 pages, feeding each one individually

through the machine. Use standard (75 g/m

) paper when using the ADF. Always fan the pages

well before placing them in the ADF.

Recommended Environment

Temperature: 20-30˚C (68-86˚F)

Humidity: 50%-70%

DO NOT use curled, wrinkled, folded, or ripped paper, or paper with

staples, paper clips, paste or tape attached. DO NOT use cardboard,

newspaper, or fabric. (To copy or scan this kind of document, see

Using

the Glass Platen

, page 3.)

■

Make sure documents written with ink are completely dry.

■

Documents must be from 14.8 to 21.6 cm wide, and from 14.8 to 35.6 cm long.

Fan the pages and stagger them at a 30 degree angle. Insert the pages

face up

top edge first

in the ADF until you feel them touch the feed roller.

Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your pages.

Pull up the document stopper.

Multiple pages should be fanned first as shown in the diagram below.

Setting the Special Media Lever

You can use the special media lever to select the Regular Position ( ) or Special Position ( ).

To feed regular types of originals, move the special media lever to the Regular Position ( ). You

can feed multiple pages.

To feed special types of originals (such as coated paper or glossy paper), move the special media

lever to the Special Position ( ). Feed the original one by one. It will allow the original to feed

through the ADF without slipping or jamming.

If the original “double-feeds” try again by inserting a simple sheet of original in

the ADF or use glass platen.

Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide

Choosing a Location

Place the machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and

shocks. Locate the machine near a standard earthed electrical socket.

Avoid placing the machine where it may be knocked. Do not place near

heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose

the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not

connect the machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or

automatic timers as disruption of power can wipe out information in the

unit’s memory. Do not connect the machine to electrical outlets on the same

circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power

supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of

cordless phones. Ensure the airflow from the fan on the right hand side of

the machine is not impeded.

We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to

protect the product against damage caused by a lightning strike.
