Document Specifications

Unacceptable Documents 2

The following types of documents may not be scanned successfully:

 Documents with a carbon sheet attached 2
 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 paper contains chemical substances that may harm the rollers. If paper jams occur frequently,
clean the Reverse Roller and Pick Up Roller. (See Clean the Scanner and Rollers on page 241.) The life
of the Reverse Roller and Pick Up Roller may end sooner compared to scanning wood-containing paper.
• When scanning wood containing paper, the life of the Reverse Roller and Pick Up Roller may end sooner
compared to scanning wood-free paper.
• The Reverse Roller and Pick Up Roller be damaged when a photo/sticky note on the document touches
these parts during scanning.
• The surface of the document may be damaged when scanning glossy paper such as photographs.
• The light of the LED reflects brightly when scanning glossy paper.

Center (Unit: mm)

NOTE
The document must be centered at the Pick Up Roller.

Conditions for Multifeed Detection 2

A multifeed is an error when two or more sheets are fed through the ADF at once or when a different
document length is detected.
Multifeed detection is performed by either checking the overlapping of documents, length of the documents,
or a combination of both.
The following conditions are required for an accurate detection:
 Load documents of the same paper weight in the Paper Guides.
 Paper weight must be between 7 and 110 lb (27 to 413 g/m2).
 Do not punch holes within 1.57 in. (40 mm) of the document’s center.
 Do not attach other documents within 1.57 in. (40 mm) of the document’s center.
 The document must be centered at the Pick Up Roller.
 Scanning thick documents, such as plastic cards, may cause a false multifeed error. If this happens,
disable multifeed detection.

55
Document Specifications

Scanning a Mixed Batch 2

Check the following conditions when scanning a batch of documents with different paper weights, friction
coefficients, or sizes.
Test a few sheets first to check if the documents can be scanned. 2
 Paper direction
Align the direction of the paper fiber with the feed direction.
 Paper weight
Use the following paper weights: 11 to 110 lb (40 to 418 g/m2)
 Friction coefficient
We recommend using the same type of paper from the same manufacturer.
Mixing paper from different manufacturers and brands affects the feeding performance as the difference
in the friction coefficient increases.
We recommend using the following friction coefficients: 0.35 to 0.60 (reference value for paper friction
coefficient)
 Document position
Use paper sizes that fits the 1.54 in. (39 mm) width of the center Pick Up Roller.
 Paper size
When scanning a mixed batch of different paper sizes, the documents are more likely to skew while
feeding because the paper guides do not touch every sheet. Scanned images may have missing portions
and document jams may occur.

IMPORTANT
Check the scanned images to make sure they are straight and complete.

 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 40g/m2)

Carrier Sheet Recommendations 2

 Documents with a carbon sheet attached

 Documents written in pencil 2
 Documents narrower than 2.0 in. (51 mm) wide
 Documents shorter than 2.76 in. (70 mm) long
 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 affixed 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 along the edge of the Carrier Sheet.

IMPORTANT
• To avoid warping, 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. If the Carrier Sheet becomes damaged,
it may not be suitable for scanning, and should not be used.

Notes for Using Carrier Sheets 2

 To avoid document jams, do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down. See the instructions printed on the
Carrier Sheet itself for more information or see Load Documents on page 60.
2
 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 time; the printing on the documents may
bleed through onto the Carrier Sheet.

IMPORTANT
If you use any of the Unacceptable Documents and damage your Brother machine, it may not be covered
under warranty.

they are less than 0.36 in. (9 mm) from the center of the document to the edge of horizontal or vertical.
 Minimum Line Length
Lines whose length is greater than or equal to the specified length will be removed.

 Maximum Clearance
If lines are broken, for example due to fading of the image, lines that are broken for an interval that is
less than or equal to the specified broken line distance will be detected as lines and removed.

5 Skip Blank Page

Removes blank pages of the document from the scanning results.
The sensitivity of the Skip Blank Page function can be adjusted with the slider. Moving the slider toward
High will make the machine more likely to skip pages, while moving it toward Low will make the machine
less likely to skip pages. If you enable the Show Results setting, the computer will display how many blank
pages were skipped once the scan is complete.
If the Skip Blank Page function is triggered for all document pages, no scanned image will be displayed.
Instead, the computer will display a warning message indicating that all document pages are blank.
6 Continuous Scan
This feature allows you to scan additional documents using the same settings once a scan completes. It
is convenient to use when you scan more documents the maximum capacity of the ADF or when you scan
several documents at once.
7 Multifeed Detection 6
When this function detects a multifeed, the computer will display a error message. Confirm that the data
scanned before the multifeed has been saved, and then start scanning again at the next page or the
beginning of the document.

NOTE
• Enabling this function may cause detection of a multifeed when scanning thick paper. Disable this setting
when scanning thick paper.
• If you enable Carrier Sheet Mode or Plastic Card Mode, you cannot enable Multifeed Detection.
