Scanning a Document
The Brother Multi-Function Link Pro software includes a TWAIN compliant
scanner driver.  TWAIN drivers meet the standard universal protocol for
communicating between scanners and software applications.  This means
that not only can you scan images directly into the PaperPort viewer that
Brother included with your fax machine, but you can also scan images
directly into hundreds of other software applications that support TWAIN
scanning.  These applications include popular programs like Adobe
Photoshop, Adobe PageMaker, CorelDraw and many more.See

Settings in the Scanner Window
Image
Resolution
Resolution: Select the scanning resolution from the Resolution drop
down list.  Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time,
but can achieve a finer scanned image.
When the setting is True Gray, 200 x 100 dpi and 200 x 400 dpi is
not available.
Gray Scale
Gray Scale: Set the image Type to Black & White for text or line art.
For photographic images, set the image type to Gray (Error Diffusion)
or True Gray.
Gray (Error Diffusion) is used for documents that contain
photographic images or graphics.  (Error Diffusion is a method for
creating simulated gray images by placing black dots in a specific
matrix instead of true gray dots.)
64 True Gray mode is used for documents containing photographic
images or graphics. This mode requires the most memory and longest
transfer time.
Brightness
Brightness: Adjusting the brightness settings to obtain the best image.
The Brother Multi-Function Link Pro offers 100 brightness settings
(-50 to 50).  The default value is 0, representing an ÒaverageÓ setting.
You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right
to lighten the image or to the left to darken the image.  You can also
type a value in the box to set the settings.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan
the document again.
If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness value and scan the
document again. 
						

							152APPENDIX A
Contrast
The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of
the gray scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is
selected as the gray Scale.
Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right)
emphasizes dark and light areas of the Image, while decreasing the
contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the left) ravels more detail
in gray areas.  Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in
the box to set the contrast.
Custom
Size
Set the Size to one of the following:
n   Letter (8 1/2 x 11 in.)
n   A4 (210 x 297 mm.)
n   Legal (8 1/2 x 14 in.)
n   A5 (148 x 210 mm.)
n   B5 (182 x 257 mm.)
n   Executive (7 1/4 x 10 1/2 in.)
n   Business Card (60 x 90 mm.)
n   Custom (User adjustable from 0.35 x 0.35 in. to 8.5 x 14 in.)
After you select a size, you can adjust the scanning area further by
using the left mouse button to drag the dotted outline of the scanning
area. This is useful when you want to crop an image when scanning.
Business Card Size
To scan business cards, select the Business Card (60 x 90 mm.) size
setting and place the business card at the top center of a carrier sheet.
Carrier sheets are available from your Dealer.
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word
processor or other graphics application, you should try different
settings for the contrast, mode and resolution to see which settings
best suit your needs.

PreScanning an Image
PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution.  A
thumbnail version of the image will appear in the Scanning Area.  This is
only a preview of the image so you can see how it will look. The PreScan
button is used to preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions from
the image.  When you are satisfied with the preview, select the Start button
in the Scanner window to scan the image.
1Insert the document face down in the document feeder of your fax
machine.
2Select the PreScan button. The entire document will be scanned into
the PC and will appear in the Scanning Area of the Scanner window:
3To crop a portion of the document to be scanned, drag any side or
corner of the dotted outline in the Scanning Area with the left mouse
button. Adjust the dotted outline until it surrounds only the portion of
the document you wish to scan.
4Place the document in the document feeder of the fax machine again.
5Adjust the settings for Resolution, Color Type (Gray Scale),
Brightness, Contrast, and Size in the Scanner Setup window, as needed.

Printing From Your PC
Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder
The fax machineÕs multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper,
envelopes, and organizer paper.  When the fax machine receives data from
your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the multi-
purpose sheet feeder.
nSelect the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the fax machine.  The
screen displays the date and time, and RECEIVING DATA.  If there are
more pages, the fax machine begins to print the next page
automatically.  When the fax machine finishes printing all data, it
returns to online status.
You may select the paper source, paper size, and orientation in your
application software.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the
next larger paper size.  Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left
margins in your application software.
When you use labels or transpariencies for overhead projectors, be sure to use the
manual feed slot.

							157(OPTION) USING THE FAX MACHINE AS A PRINTER
Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplexing)
The supplied printer drivers for Windows¨ 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98 and Windows
NT
¨ Workstation Version 4.0 enable manual duplex printing.  (For more
information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)
The fax machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the
paper first.  Then, the Windows
¨ driver instructs you (with a pop-up
message) to reinsert the paper.  Before reinserting the paper, straighten it
well, or you may get a paper jam.  Very thin or very thick paper is not
recommended.  If the paper Òdouble-feedsÓ (sends two sheets at once), hold
the stack of paper except for the front sheet while the paper is feeding.
      
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that a paper jam
may occur or the printer quality might not be satisfactory.
Loading Envelopes in Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder
If you load up to 10 envelopes into the multi-purpose sheet feeder, make
sure they are inserted in the direction shown below.
      
						

							158APPENDIX B
Manual Feed Slot
The multi-purpose sheet feeder also has a manual feed slot on its cover.  You
can load paper or envelopes one at a time into this slot.  You do not have to
remove paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.
When you use labels or transparencies, be sure to use this slot.  For
information about acceptable paper, see page 16.
Loading One Sheet of Paper
You do not have to choose manual feed in the Setup dialog box of your
printer driver.  Insert the sheet of paper for Portrait (vertical) or Landscape
(horizontal), with the side you wish to print on face down in the manual
feed slot.
1Align the paper at the center of the manual feed slot, and be sure to
insert it all the way.
2Adjust the paper guide of the manual feed slot to the width of the paper
youÕre using.
Loading More Than One Sheet of Paper
1Open the Setup dialog box of the Windows¨ printer driver and select
Manual Feed in the Paper Source section.  Follow Steps 1 and 2 above
to load the first page.  The fax machine starts printing automatically.
2After the first page is printed, the dialog box appears and prompts you
to load the next page.  Load a sheet and select OK to resume printing.
3Repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3 until you have finished printing.
If you do not select manual paper feed, and insert a page in the manual
feed slot, the fax machine will load the first page from the manual feed
slot and subsequent pages from the multi-purpose feeder.
Paper Tray
The fax machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the paper
tray at the front of the fax machine.  When you use transparencies, remove
each sheet immediately after printing, to prevent a paper jam or curled
sheets.
