1 - 4 INTRODUCTION
You can make copies and scan from the ADF (automatic document feeder) or from the scanner glass (flatbed).
The ADF can hold up to 10 pages and feeds each sheet individually. Use standard (80 gsm) paper and always fan the pages before putting them in the ADF.
DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper clipped, pasted or taped.
DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or fabric. (To copy or scan this kind of document, see Using the scanner glass on page 1-7.)
Recommended environment
Temperature: 20 to 35°C
Humidity: 50 to 70%
Paper: 80 gsm A4
Available document
Length: 147 to 356 mm
Width: 147 to 216 mm
Weight: 64 to 90 gsm
■Make sure documents written with ink or correction fluid are completely dry.

feed roller.
Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your documents.
Unfold the ADF Document Output Support Flap.
ADF Document
Output Support Flap
DO NOT pull on the document while it is feeding.
To use the ADF, the scanner glass must be empty.
1 - 6 INTRODUCTION
You can use the scanner glass to copy or scan pages of a book or one page at a time. Documents can be up to 216 mm wide and 297 mm long.
(DCP-120C only) To use the scanner glass, the ADF must be empty.
1 Lift the document cover.
Place documents face down on the Scanner Glass
2 Using the document guidelines on the left, center the document face down on the scanner glass.
3 Close the document cover.
If the document is a book or is thick, do not slam the cover or press on it.
INTRODUCTION 1 - 7
The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.
To get the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.
You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.
We recommend testing various paper types before purchasing large quantities.
For best results, use the recommended paper.
■When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu.
■When you print on Brother glossy paper, load the instruction sheet included with the glossy paper in the paper tray first, and then place the glossy paper on the instruction sheet.
■When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.
■Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing. The surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.
To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.)
If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities.
We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on transparencies.

■Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
■The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing down.
■Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.
Do not use paper:
■ that is damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped
2 mm or longer
2 mm or longer
■that is extremely shiny or highly textured
■that was previously printed by a printer
■that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked
■that is made with a short grain
