Steps to prepare and use the machine simply

Follow the steps below to prepare and use the machine simply.

However, before you perform these steps, see Important Safety Information (page 81), and Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide (page 4).

1 Read the Quick Setup Guide

Follow the instructions on the Brother Quick Setup Guide to set up the machine.

2 Setting the Document

You can scan the document for copying from either the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) or from the glass platen.

Using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)

The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 30 pages, feeding each one individually through the machine. Use standard (75 g/m well before placing them in the ADF.

Recommended Environment

Temperature: 20-30˚C (68-86˚F) Humidity: 50%-70%

DO NOT use curled, wrinkled, folded, or ripped paper, or paper with staples, paper clips, paste or tape attached. DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper, or fabric. (To copy or scan this kind of document, see

the Glass Platen

Make sure documents written with ink are completely dry. Documents must be from 14.8 to 21.6 cm wide, and from 14.8 to 35.6 cm long.

Fan the pages and stagger them at a 30 degree angle. Insert the pages in the ADF until you feel them touch the feed roller.

Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your pages.

Pull up the document stopper.

If the original “double-feeds” try again by inserting a simple sheet of original in the ADF or use glass platen.

Using the Glass Platen

To use the glass platen, the ADF must be empty.

Documents are Face Down on the Glass Platen

Lift the document cover.

Using the document guidelines on the left, centre the document FACE DOWN on the glass platen.

Close the document cover.

If the document is a book or is thick, do not slam the cover or press on it, as damage to the glass platen may result.

Preparation and Simple Use Guide

Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide

Choosing a Location

Place the machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a standard earthed electrical socket.

Avoid placing the machine where it may be knocked. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not connect the machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers as disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect the machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones. Ensure the airflow from the fan on the right hand side of the machine is not impeded.

We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to protect the product against damage caused by a lightning strike.

Connecting the Power Cord

This machine must be fitted with an earthed plug.

IMPORTANT: If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to fit an appropriate type, you must discard the moulded plug immediately having cut it off, in order that it is not inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting a shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code.

• Green-and-yellow : Earth

• Blue : Neutral

• Brown : Live

As the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.

Using the machine as a Printer

Special Printing Features

Windows® Printing

The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft® Windows® 95, 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional and Windows NT can easily install them into your Windows Guide). The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows applications, and allows you to set various printer settings including economy printing mode and custom paper size.

Brother Resource Manager

The Brother Resource Manager application must be running for you to use the machine with your Windows Manager, as needed. The Resource Manager allows the single bi-directional Parallel port on the machine to simulate a Communications port for scanning and to simulate a Parallel port for Windows

Enhanced Memory Management

The machine has its own Data Compression Technology, which automatically compresses graphic data and downloads font data efficiently into the MFC’s memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full-page, 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the machine’s standard memory.

PRINTER/SCANNER

Printing From Your PC

Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder

The machine’s multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, transparencies, post card, label and organizer paper. When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.

■ Select the print command from your PC. Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. If there are more pages, the machine begins

to print the next page automatically.

You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application software.

If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.

Using the machine as a Printer 21

Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplex)

The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 95/98/98SE/Me and Windows NT® Workstation Version 4.0 support manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)

The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended. If the paper “double-feeds” (sends two sheets at once), hold the stack of paper except for the front sheet while the paper is feeding.

Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder

When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the printer quality might not be satisfactory.

Loading Envelopes

You can load up to 10 envelopes into the Multi-purpose sheet feeder. Press down and hold the blue lever on the right as you load the envelopes and slide the paper guides to fit. Make sure envelopes are inserted in the direction shown below.

Load the envelopes and adjust the guide with the lever down

Paper Tray

The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the paper tray at the front of the machine. When you use transparencies, remove each sheet immediately after printing, to prevent a paper jam or curled sheets.

Press this key to clear data from the memory.

Simultaneous Printing

The machine can print data from your computer while scanning information into the computer. However, when the machine is copying, it pauses the PC printing operation, and resumes when copying is complete.
