Preparation and Simple Use 
Guide 
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 91), 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 50 pages, feeding each one individually 
through the machine. Use standard (75 g/m
 
2
 
) paper when using the ADF. Always fan the pages 
well before placing them in the feeder.
 
Recommended Environment
 
Temperature:    10-32.5˚C
Humidity:         20%-80%
 
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 
 
Using 
the Glass Platen
 
, page 3.)
 

 
Make sure documents written with ink are completely dry.
 

 
Documents must be from 14.7 to 21.6 cm wide, and from 12.7 to 35.6 cm long.
Insert documents 
 
face up
 
, 
 
top edge first
 
.

feed roller.
Pull up the document stopper.
 
If the document “double-feeds”, try to straighten the paper or try again by 
inserting a simple sheet of document in the ADF or use glass platen.

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.
