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.

• Load only one document per scanning sequence when Long Paper is selected.

1. Scan

Select the Photo, Web, or Text option depending on the type of document you want to scan.

Scan (Image Type)

Photo Use for scanning photo images. 300 x 300 dpi 24bit Colour

Web Use for attaching the scanned

image to web pages.

Text Use for scanning text

documents.

2. Resolution

Select a scanning resolution from the Resolution drop-down list. Higher resolutions produce a finer scanned image but consume more memory and increase transfer time.

Long Paper is available for scanning at resolutions below 300 x 300 dpi.

Resolution Scan Type

100 x 100 dpi 24bit Colour

200 x 200 dpi Black & White

3. Scan Type

Select from a range of scan colour depths.

• Auto

Automatically detects whether the document uses colour and generates a scanned image of it. For documents that mix colour and monochrome pages, colour pages will be scanned in Colour mode, while monochrome pages will be scanned in Black & White mode.

• Black & White

Use for text or line art images.

• Grey (Error Diffusion)

Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated greyscale 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 accurate because it uses up to 256 shades of grey.

• 24bit Colour

Use to create an image with the most accurate colour reproduction. This mode uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image, but it requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.

4. Document Size

Select the exact size of your document from a selection of preset scan sizes. If you select Custom, the Custom Document Size dialog box appears and you can specify the document size.

(ADS-1200) Auto is not available for scanning at resolutions greater than 400 x 400 dpi.

5. 2-sided Scanning

Scan both sides of the document. Select Long-edge binding or Short-edge binding depending on the layout of your original to make sure the data file created appears correctly in the scanned document.

2-sided Scanning is not available for Long Paper.

• Detect End of Page

Detects the end of page and automatically adjusts the size of a page when the length of the document is shorter than the Document Size selected.

• Margin Settings

This feature allows you to add or remove a specific margin (from -4 mm to 2 mm) at the edge of the image. A positive value decreases the size of the scanned image when it is output and a negative value increases the size of the scanned image when it is output.

Margin Settings is available only when Document Size is set to Auto.

- Rotate Image

Changes the direction of the document based on the text orientation when Auto is selected.

- Edge Fill

Fill in the edges on four sides of the scanned image using the selected colour and range.

- Punch Hole Removal

This feature removes the punch hole markings by filling hole marks with white or the surrounding colour.

- Auto Colour Detect Adjust

When scan type Auto is selected, you can adjust the detection level of colour. Increasing the slider value makes the machine more likely to determine that a given document is a colour document.

- Skip Blank Page

Remove the document's blank pages from the scanning results.

• Enhancement

- Diffusion Adjustment -Grey

This function adjusts the brightness and contrast to create grey images.

Only effective when the Scan Type is Grey (Error Diffusion).

Brightness

Set the Brightness level by moving the slider to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness level and scan the document again. You can also type a value in the field to set the brightness.

Contrast

Increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slider to the right or left. An increase emphasises dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more details in grey areas. You can also type a value in the field to set the contrast.

- Colour Tone Adjustment

Allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast and gamma during True grey and colour scanning.

- Background Processing

• Remove Bleed-through / Pattern

Prevent bleed-through.

• Remove Background Colour

Remove the base colour of documents to make the scanned data more legible.

- Continuous Scan

Select this option to scan additional documents using the same settings when a scan has been completed. It is useful when you are scanning more documents than the ADF can hold or when you are scanning several documents at once.

• Recognition

- Barcode Detection

The machine reads the barcode printed on the scanned image. Specify the barcode type and detection area.

• Barcode Detection is available when 2in1 is Off.

Before attempting to configure a wireless network, confirm the following:

• Before configuring wireless settings, you must know your Network name (SSID) and Network Key (Password).

If you do not know this security information, contact the router manufacturer, your system administrator, or your Internet provider.

• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document scanning, place the Brother machine as close to the wireless access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices and interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.

Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and applications.

If your wireless access point/router supports WPS, you can use the Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method to configure your wireless network settings.

The PIN Method is one of the connection methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance®. By submitting a PIN created by an Enrollee (your machine) to the Registrar (a device that manages the wireless LAN), you can set up the wireless network and security settings. For more information on how to access WPS mode, see the instructions provided with your wireless access point/router.

Type A

™

Type B

Connection when another device (2), such as a computer, is used as the Registrar.

Routers or access points that support WPS are marked with this symbol:

1. Press [Settings] > [Network] > [WLAN] > [WPS w/ PIN Code].

2. When [Enable WLAN? Do you want to continue?] appears, press [Yes].

5. Go to the WPS settings page and type the PIN, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

• The Registrar is usually the wireless access point/router.

• The settings page will differ depending on the brand of wireless access point/router. For more detailed information, see the instructions supplied with your wireless access point/router.

If using a Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 computer as a Registrar, complete the following steps:
