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 with photos, notes, or stickers affixed to them

• Documents that use carbonless paper

• Documents that use loose-leaf paper or any paper with holes in it

• Documents with paper clips or staples

• Documents with wet ink

• 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 Roller 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 Brake Roller and Pick Up Roller may be reduced compared to scanning wood-free paper.

• The Brake Roller 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.

Home > Paper Handling > Document Specifications > Unacceptable Documents > Scan a Mixed Batch

Scan a Mixed Batch

The following conditions apply when scanning a mixed batch of documents with different paper weights, friction coef

ficients, or sizes. Make sure to test a few sheets first to check if the documents can be scanned.

Paper direction

Align the direction of the paper fiber with the feed direction.

Paper weight

Use the following paper weights: 0.11 lb to 0.46 lb (50 g/㎡ to 209 g/㎡)

Friction coefficient

We recommend using the same type of paper from the same manufacturer. When papers of different manufacturers/brands are mixed, it affects the feeding performance as the difference in the friction coefficient increases.

We recommend using friction coefficients between 0.35 and 0.6 (reference value for paper friction coefficient).

Document position

Use paper sizes that fit the 1.77 in. (45 mm) width of the Pick Up Roller in the center.

Paper size

When you scan a mixed batch with different sizes, not feeding the documents straight may cause problems, such as paper jams or part of the image to appear missing.

We recommend checking the documents thoroughly before scanning and also checking the image if the document was skewed.

When scanning a mixed batch with different sizes, documents are more likely to skew while feeding because the Paper Guides do not touch every sheet.

Documents that cannot be scanned in a mixed batch

The following types of documents cannot be mixed in the same batch:

Carbonless paper

•

• Bond paper

• Perforated documents

• Thermal paper

• Carbon-backed paper

• OHP film

• Tracing paper

• Synthetic paper

• Bent or damaged documents

• Thin paper (less than 40 g/㎡)

How to scan a mixed batch

Load your document in the ADF in descending order of paper size with the largest at the back and the smallest at the front.

If you are loading a paper business card, load it horizontally.

Carrier Sheet Recommendations

Brother recommends using a Carrier Sheet (not included) to scan the following documents:

•

Documents with a carbon sheet attached

• Documents written in pencil

• Documents narrower than 2 in. (51 mm)

• Documents shorter than 2.76 in. (70 mm)

• Pages thinner than 3 mil (0.08 mm)

• Documents of uneven thickness, such as envelopes

• Documents with large wrinkles or curls

• Bent or damaged documents

• 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 with photos, notes, or stickers attached to them

• Documents that use carbonless paper

• Documents that use loose-leaf paper or any paper with holes in it

CAUTION

To avoid cutting yourself, do not slide or scrape your hand or fingers along the edge of the Carrier Sheet.

IMPORTANT

• To avoid warping the Carrier Sheet, do not place the Carrier Sheet in direct sunlight or in an area subject to high temperatures and high humidity

• To avoid damaging the Carrier Sheet, do not bend or pull it. Do not use a damaged Carrier Sheet, as it may produce incorrect scan results.

Notes for Using Carrier Sheets

• To avoid document jams, do not load the Carrier Sheet (not included) upside down. See the instructions printed on the Carrier Sheet itself for more information.

•

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; 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 under warranty.

This setting allows you to adjust the image quality when scanning in Black & White values increase the amount of black in the scanned image, while smaller values increase the amount of white.

- Grayscale Adjustment

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

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 emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more details in gray areas. You can also type a value in the field to set the contrast.

- Color Tone Adjustment

Allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast and gamma during gray and color scanning.

- Auto Color Detect Adjust

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

• 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 you are scanning large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you may want to consider selecting wired Ethernet for faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput speed.
