Brother MFC 4800 scans are crooked.

The original software that came with the machine had a "straighten" feature that worked well on crooked scans ... but this s/w cannot be used with the Win7 I now have. I have to use the Win7 "Fax and Scan" program which doesn't have a "straighten" command for crooked scans. Any ideas on how to straighten my scans? Thanks!

I use 'Photoscape' as my Samsung does not have auto-straightening.
Photoscape is a free download.
First load the scan into either MS PAINT or Photoscape and add generous white borders.
Then load the bordered image into Photoscape and select the rotate symbol that looks like a curved arrow.
Slide the control left or right until scanned image aligns with grid overlay.
Then crop and save.
You'll notice that as the image is rotated, it zooms in or out.
This is why pre-made borders are added, to prevent cropping.
Does this info help?
Regards, Clive.

SOURCE: Not able to scan to pdf file with Brother MFC-240C

What you seem to want to do is not possible. Let me explain:
A file that has its data in the Adobe company Portable Document Format (or a pdf file) contains various objects that are described to the computer using a superset of the PostScript language, some of them can be images.

A file that comes from the scanner is first a very organized set of pixels and gets put into a more compact form by using a well known process as defined by the Joint Motion Picture Experts group. This is a roundabout way of saying that it has a format that isn't PDF.

What you CAN do:
a) open the jpeg file with a Macintosh, using the Print command from the file menu make a pdf file that has the image in it.

b) buy and install a PDF printer driver on a Windows machine, and then follow the same process as A above.

c) Use your favorite PDF creation program to make a file with the image embedded.

SOURCE: Bold black lines across the paper when printing,scan or copy not on faxing

I realise this is probably too late for you Janet and you will have bought a new drum unit by now or replaced the printer! The three lines appeared on my print-out from a new drum I installed and after investigation it transpired that there was some toner residue that had dried on the drum (from testing at manufacture stage probably) and reprinted three bold lines on a sheet of A4. The solution is to use a soft piece of cloth and rub the lines off the drum through the gap at the front of the drum unit. The drum can be rotated by turning the gear cog on the side, then once the reside has been removed from the drum and it is clean, the lines will have disappeared. I wouldn't use any solution on the drum, just gentle rubbing should suffice.

My brother mfc 4800 wont copy, it keeps asking for the fax number. Please help

Your fax machine uses the same line as your phone. You will need to read your manual to decide after how many rings you want the fax machine to answer. Generally should be after your answering machine. Your fax number will be your telephone number.Hope It's resolve all Your Printer Problem,

I lost my disk and need info to put in new computer

Visit the Brother Solution Center for your country/area of residence and download the Brother software suite relevant to your machine: Model number, Operating system (Windows, or linux, 32 or 63 bits) and install it on your computer. You must choose the type of connection (USB or LAN). Install the USB or NEtwork software. After installation, connect the printer (through a USB cable if you chose USB installation, or ethernet cable if you chose Network. then connect the MFC.

For the scanning software (ScanSoft) you will have to install it from the original CD. If you no longer have it you can buy some scanning software or install free software from the web. Several applications (Word, Acrobat) can scan by themselves. You also have some free OCR software; FreeOCR, PaperScan Free, etc.

How do i scan? using a brother MFC 685-cw..can't seem to use the scanner.. anyone help?

I have a Brother MFC 7840W and have struggled with the wireless features. Not sure how you have this configured but if wireless suggest you find a way to connect via LAN or USB...I cannot make mine work via wireless but hardwired works fine. To fix, I had to 'reset' the MFC (functions on the MFC itself) and then reinstall the software selecting USB as the connection method. Sounds crazy but once I did it worked.

How to scan from a 4800 brother

Once the drivers for the printer/scanner are downloaded from Here and installed you can scan a couple of different ways.
First is to use the scanner software (ScanSoft™ PaperPort® LE for Brother) on the original cd. If it is not installed already, install the software from the disk. If you do not have an original disk, you can obtain one from Brother for a fee.
Second is to use a different method/software for scanning. Since the scanner is TWAIN compliant, you can use any software that can import from a TWAIN compliant device. Since it is common,.. you can use Microsoft Word or Publisher (Example: from Word XP - from the top menu, click on Insert - Picture - From Scanner or Camera then select your Brother 4800 from the list)
If you dont have Word or cannot obtain it, you can download and use the latest version of openOffice for free at openoffice.org Here
With either method,.. you will have to make sure the drivers are installed for the printer/scanner.
If you need any further instruction, please comment on this and I will answer your questions

Brother mfc 4800

If you can wait unti Windows 7 comes out, I think you will be surprised with the amount of drivers the operating system will be equipped with. I was one of the Beta testers for the system and there are thousands of driver files, so hopefully they will cover the playing field.
