Notes for Using Carrier Sheets2
To avoid document jams, do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down. Refer to the instructions printed on
the Carrier Sheet itself for more information or see Load Documents on page 30.
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.
If you use any of the Unacceptable Documents and damage your Brother machine, it may not be covered
