IMPORTANT
•
Carbonless papers contain chemical substances that may damage the rollers (for example, the Pick Up
Roller). If paper jams occur frequently, clean the Brake Roller and Pick Up Roller. The life of the Brake
Roller and Pick Up Roller may be reduced compared to scanning paper with high wood content.
•
When scanning paper with high wood content, the life of the Brake Roller and Pick Up Roller may be
reduced compared to scanning wood-free paper.
•
The Brake Roller and Pick Up Roller may become damaged when a photo or sticky note on the document
touches these parts during scanning.
•
The surface of the document may be damaged when scanning glossy papers such as photographs.
•
The damage caused by using any unacceptable documents with your Brother machine may not be
covered under warranty.
