Suggestions
Make sure the Brother TWAIN or WIA driver is
chosen as the primary source in your scanning
application. For example, in OmniPage SE 18, click
Scan Settings and then Select to select the Brother
TWAIN/WIA driver.
Make sure the Brother TWAIN driver is chosen as
the primary source.
In PageManager 9, click File, Select Source and
select the Brother TWAIN driver.
OS X v10.8.x, 10.9.x, 10.10.x or later users can
also scan documents using the ICA Scanner Driver.
Check the ADF slot and make sure that the slot is
clear. If foreign objects are found, remove them
from your scanner.
Adjust the Document Guide to fit the width of the
document. When Cropping is set to Automatic
(Deskew ON) and you are scanning a document
that contains multiple page sizes, insert narrow
pages straight and as close to the center of the
machine as possible. If the document does not stay
straight while feeding, use Continuous Scanning.
Make sure the document size settings are suitable
for your document.
