Scanning Methods

There are two ways to scan using your Brother machine.

• Scan to PC

• Scan to USB

Scan to PC

The Scan to PC feature lets you scan your document and save the scanned image into your computer. Before using the Scan to PC feature, you must install MFL-Pro Suite from the supplied DVD-ROM and the machine must be connected to the computer. There are 2 ways to initiate the scan when scanning to your computer:

• Initiate the scan from your computer (see Scan From Your Computer

• Configure the scan settings from your computer and then initiate the scan with the Scan to PC key on your machine (see Scan Using the Scan Key on the Control Panel of the Machine

)

The Scan to PC feature provides four scanning modes:

• Scan to Image Lets you scan an image directly into a graphics application for image editing.

• Scan to OCR Lets you scan a document and convert it to text. This text can be edited using your favorite word processing software.

• Scan to E-mail Lets you scan a document to your default E-mail application, so you can send the scanned job as an attachment.

• Scan to File Lets you scan an image and save it to a folder on your hard disk in one of the file types shown in the file attachment list.

You can change the following settings:

Option Description Resolution You can select a scanning resolution from the Resolution drop-down list.

Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but produce a finer scanned image.

Scan Type

Black and White

Use for text or line art images.

Gray (Error Diffusion)

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

True Gray

Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact due to using up to 256 shades of gray.

24bit Color

Uses up to 16.8 million colors to scan the image. Although using 24bit Color creates an image with the most accurate color reproduction, it

requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.

Note

In addition to cleaning the glass strips with a non-flammable glass cleaner, 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.
