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). PREPARATION AND SIMPLE USE 1 2 Read the Quick Setup Guide Setting the Document Follow the instructions on the Brother Quick Setup Guide to set up the machine. 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/m2) 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.) s Make sure documents written with ink are completely dry. s Documents must be from 14.7 to 21.6 cm wide, and from 12.7 to 35.6 cm long. 1 2 Insert documents face up, top edge first. Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your pages. Preparation and Simple Use Guide 1 3 Stagger the pages. Then place them in the ADF, until you feel the first page lightly touch the feed roller. Documents are Face Up in the ADF Document Stopper 4 Pull up the document stopper. 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. 2 Using the Glass Platen To use the glass platen, the ADF must be empty. Documents are Face Down on the Glass Platen PREPARATION AND SIMPLE USE 1 2 Lift the document cover. Using the document guidelines on the left, centre the document FACE DOWN on the glass platen. Close the document cover. 3 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. 3 1 2 Making a Single copy Insert the document face up in the ADF, or face down on the glass platen. Press Copy. To stop the copy process and release the document, press Stop. (See Making Copies, page 13.) 4 1 2 Multiple Copies (Using the ADF) Insert the document face up in the ADF. Using the numeric keys, enter the number of copies you want (up to 99). For example, press 3, 8 for 38 copies. Press Copy. 3 Preparation and Simple Use Guide 3 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. 4 Connecting the Power Cord PREPARATION AND SIMPLE USE 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.
