1 - 3 USING THE MACHINE AS A PRINTER

Manual Duplex Printing

The 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. We recommend 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2) paper.

Face-down output tray

The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the output tray in the front of the machine. Unfold the support flap to support the printed pages. When printing transparencies, remove each one from the support flap after it exits the machine.

The machine automatically turns on the Manual Feed mode when you put paper in the manual feed tray.
Select the Paper Size, Media Type, Paper Source, and other settings in the printer driver. Media Type: Plain Paper Paper Source: Manual Send the print data to the machine. Open the manual feed tray. Slide the paper guides to fit the paper size. Using both hands put paper in the manual feed tray until the front edge of the paper touches the paper feed roller and the machine grips the paper.
Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position on the manual feed tray. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam. Do not put more than one piece of paper in the manual feed tray at any one time, or it may cause a jam.
After the printed page comes out of the machine, put in the next sheet of paper as in Step 4 above. Repeat for each page that you want to print.

Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position on the MP tray. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
While pressing the paper-guide release lever, slide the paper guide to fit the paper size. When you put paper in the MP tray, please remember the following: The side to be printed on must be face up. During printing, the inside tray rises to feed paper into the machine. Put the leading edge (top of the paper) in first and push it gently into the tray.

3 - 6 HOW TO SCAN USING WINDOWS

Brother Scanner Utility

The Brother Scanner Utility is used for configuring the scanner driver for resolutions greater than 1200 dpi and for changing the paper size. If you want to set Legal size as the default size, change the setting using this utility. You must restart your PC for the new settings to take effect. To run the utility: You can run the utility by selecting the Scanner Utility located in the Start/All Programs/Brother/MFL-Pro Suite MFC-8840D or DCP-8045D menu.
If you scan the document at a resolution of greater than 1200 dpi, the file size may be very large. Please make sure that you have sufficient memory and hard disk space for the size of the file you are trying to scan. If you do not have enough memory or hard disk space then your computer may freeze and you could lose your file.
TWAIN compliant scanner driver for Windows XP
If you have chosen to use the optional TWAIN Driver supplied for Windows XP, follow the description for Windows 98/98SE/Me and 2000 Professional. (See How to scan using Windows on page 3-1 for instructions on how to turn the Windows XP TWAIN drivwer ON.)
HOW TO SCAN USING WINDOWS 3 - 7

Scanning a document

TWAIN compliant
The Brother MFL-Pro Suite 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 9.0SE viewer that Brother included with your 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.

How to access the Scanner
The instructions for scanning in this Guide are for when you use ScanSoft PaperPort 9.0SE.
Open the software application (ScanSoft PaperPort 9.0SE) to scan a document. Select Scan from the File drop-down menu or select the Scan button. The Scan pane appears in the left panel. Select the scanner you are using from the Scanner drop-down list box. Click Scan. If the machine is connected via: Parallel - use 'Brother MFC-8840 or Brother DCP-8045D' USB - use 'Brother MFC-8840D USB or Brother DCP-8045D USB' LAN - use 'Brother MFC-8840D LAN or Brother DCP-8045D LAN' The Scanner Setup dialog box will appear:

Desktop View displays items as thumbnails
Page View displays a close-up of a single page. You can open a PaperPort 9.0SE item by double-clicking on it. As long as you have the appropriate application on your computer to display it, you can also double-click a non-PaperPort 9.0SE item to open it.
Page View displays each item as a full page
HOW TO SCAN USING WINDOWS 3 - 21
Organizing your items in folders
PaperPort 9.0SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of folders and items that you select to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort 9.0SE item or a non-PaperPort 9.0SE item: Folders are arranged in a tree structure in the Folder View. You use this section to select folders and view their items in Desktop View. You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the mouse button and the item is stored in that folder. Folders can be nestedthat is, stored in other folders. When you double-click a folder, its items (both PaperPort 9.0SE MAX files and non PaperPort 9.0SE files) appear on the Desktop. You can also use Windows Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.
Quick links to other applications
ScanSoft PaperPort 9.0SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a working link to them. The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications. To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. A typical use of the Send To Bar is to select an item and then fax it. This sample Send To Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort 9.0SE.
If PaperPort 9.0SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can manually create a link using the New Program Link. command. (See PaperPort 9.0SE in the Documentation section on the CD-ROM for more information about creating new links.)

ScanSoft OmniPage OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit

Software by:

ScanSoft OmniPage OCR is installed automatically with PaperPort 9.0SE when you install MFL-Pro Suite on your computer. ScanSoft PaperPort 9.0SE can quickly convert the text on a ScanSoft PaperPort 9.0SE item (which is really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application. PaperPort 9.0SE uses the optical character recognition application ScanSoft OmniPage, which comes with PaperPort 9.0SE OR PaperPort 9.0SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire item, or by using the Copy Text command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert. Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort 9.0SEs built-in OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.
