Unacceptable Documents

The following types of documents may not be scanned successfully:
Documents with a carbon sheet attached
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 rectangle)

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

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 Separation Pad and Pick Up Roller. The life of the Separation Pad and Pick Up Roller may be reduced compared to scanning paper with high wood content.
When scanning paper with high wood content, the life of the Separation Pad and Pick Up Roller may be reduced compared to scanning wood-free paper.
The Separation Pad 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.
