Suggestions
Black marks or spots on copies are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid on
the scanner glass. Clean the scanner glass and white plastic above it.
See Related Information: Clean the Scanner.
Make sure you are loading the document correctly.
See Related Information: Load Documents on the Scanner Glass.
Make sure the document is not skewed on the scanner glass. Reposition the
document and try again.
To copy with normal quality, briefly press Mono Start or Color Start (do not
press and hold). If you press and hold Mono Start or Color Start for two
seconds, the machine makes a copy of the best quality, which will take more
time.
Suggestions
Make sure the Brother TWAIN or WIA driver is selected as the primary source in
your scanning application. For example, in Nuance
Desktop > Scan Settings > Select to choose the Brother TWAIN/WIA driver.
Try increasing the scanning resolution.
Suggestions
Uninstall the drivers (Windows) and the Brother software and reinstall the latest
version of both.
Make sure the machine's LEDs are not indicating any errors.
