Product Warranty Information
Brother™ One-Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service Scanner
(USA Only)
Who is covered:
This limited warranty (“warranty”) is given only to the original end-use/retail purchaser (referred to in this warranty as “Original Purchaser”) of the accompanying Scanner, consumables and accessories
(collectively referred to in this warranty as “this Scanner”).
If you purchased a Scanner from someone other than an authorized Brother reseller in the United
States or if the Scanner was used (including but not limited to floor models or refurbished Scanners by someone other than Brother), prior to your purchase you are not the Original Purchaser and the
Scanner that you purchased is not covered by this warranty.
What is covered:
This Scanner includes a Scanner and may include Consumable and Accessory Items. Consumable and Accessory Items may include but are not limited to USB Cable, photo sleeves, calibration sheets and cleaning sheets.
Except as otherwise provided herein, Brother warrants that the Scanner and the accompanying
Consumable and Accessory Items will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, when used under normal conditions.
This warranty applies only to Scanners purchased and used in the United States. For Scanners purchased in, but used outside, the United States, this warranty covers only warranty service within the United States (and does not include shipping outside the United States).
What is the length of the Warranty Periods:
Scanner: one year from the original purchase date.
Accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items: 90 days from the original purchase date or the rated life of consumable, whichever comes first.
What is NOT covered:
This warranty does not cover:
1 Physical damage to this Scanner;
2 Damage caused by improper installation, improper or abnormal use, misuse, neglect or accident
(including but not limited to transporting this Scanner without the proper preparation and/or packaging);
3 Damage caused by another device or software used with this Scanner (including but not limited to damage resulting from use of non Brother™-brand parts and Consumable and Accessory Items);
4 Consumable and Accessory Items that expired in accordance with a rated life;
5 Problems arising from other than defects in materials or workmanship.
6 Normal Periodic Maintenance Items beyond the rated life, such as Separation Pad and Pick-up
Roller if beyond the rated life.
This limited warranty is VOID if this Scanner has been altered or modified in any way (including but not limited to attempted warranty repair without authorization from Brother and/or alteration/removal of the serial number).
iv
What to do if you think your Scanner is eligible for warranty service:
Report your issue to our Customer Service Hotline at 1-877-BROTHER (1-877-276-8437) within the applicable
warranty period. Supply Brother with a copy of your dated bill of sale showing that this Scanner was purchased within the U.S.
What Brother will ask you to do:
After contacting Brother you will be required to send the Scanner properly packaged, freight prepaid, to Brother together with a photocopy of your bill of sale. Brother will provide a Return Authorization Number (i.e RA#) that must be written on the outside of the carton that contains your Scanner and instruction to where you should return your Scanner. You are responsible for the cost of shipping, packing the Scanner, and insurance (if you desire). You are also responsible for loss or damage to this Scanner in shipping.
What Brother will do:
If the problem reported concerning your Scanner and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items is covered by this warranty and if you first reported the problem to Brother within the applicable warranty period,
Brother will repair or replace the Scanner and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items at no charge to you for parts or labor. The decision as to whether to repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying
Consumable and Accessory Items is made by Brother in its sole discretion. Brother reserves the right to supply a refurbished or remanufactured replacement Scanner and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items and use refurbished parts provided such replacement Scanners conform to the manufacturer’s specifications for new
Scanner/parts. The repaired or replacement Scanner and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be returned to you freight prepaid.
If the Scanner and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items are not covered by this warranty (either stage), you will be charged for shipping the Scanner and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items back to you and charged for any service and/or replacement parts/Scanners at Brother’s then current rates.
The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and exclusive remedies under this warranty.
What happens when Brother elects to replace your Scanner:
Brother will send to you a replacement Scanner shipped for receipt within two business days, with the understanding that you will, after receipt of the replacement Scanner, supply the required proof of purchase information, together with the Scanner that Brother agreed to replace. You are then expected to pack the Scanner that Brother agreed to replace in the package from the replacement Scanner and return it to Brother using the pre-paid freight bill supplied by Brother in accordance with the instructions provided by Brother. The replacement
Scanner you receive (even if refurbished or remanufactured) will be covered for the balance of the limited warranty period remaining on the original Scanner, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the replacement Scanner that is sent to you and your original Scanner shall become the property of Brother. Since you will be in possession of two machines, Brother will require that you provide a valid major credit card number. Brother will issue a hold against the credit card account number that you provide until Brother receives your original Scanner and determines that your original Scanner is entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit card will be charged up to the cost of a new Scanner only if: (i) you do not return your original Scanner to Brother within five (5) business days;
(ii) the problems with your original Scanner are not covered by the limited warranty; (iii) the proper packaging instructions are not followed and has caused damage to the Scanner; or (iv) the warranty period on your original
Scanner has expired or has not been sufficiently validated with a copy of the proof of purchase (bill of sale). Retain your original Accessory Items and a copy of the return freight bill, signed by the courier.
v
Limitations:
Brother is not responsible for damage to or loss of any equipment, media, programs or data related to the use of this Scanner. Except for the repair or replacement as described above, Brother shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or specific relief. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WHETHER
EXPRESSED BY AFFIRMATION, PROMISE, DESCRIPTION, DRAWING, MODEL OR SAMPLE. ANY AND ALL
WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THIS ONE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY
DISCLAIMED.
This Limited Warranty is the only warranty that Brother is giving for this Scanner. It is the final
expression and the exclusive and only statement of Brother’s obligations to you. It replaces all other agreements and understandings that you may have with Brother or its representatives.
This warranty gives you certain rights and you may also have other rights that may vary from state to state.
This Limited Warranty (and Brother’s obligation to you) may not be changed in any way unless you and Brother sign the same piece of paper in which we (1) refer to this Scanner and your bill of sale date, (2) describe the change to this warranty and (3) agree to make that change.
Important: We recommend that you keep all original packing materials, in the event that you ship this
Scanner.

Welcome — Introduction to Your DSmobile
®
Scanner
Congratulations on purchasing a DSmobile 610 document scanner!
We have designed this product to provide you with a simple but effective tool to capture, manage, and archive documents of many types. We encourage you to read this User’s Guide carefully.
Your DSmobile 610 scanner Installation DVD comes with WHQL certified and/or tested drivers for
Windows ® 7, Windows Vista ® and Windows ® XP operating systems. The Windows ® 7 and Windows
Vista ® drivers work with both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. This product features TWAIN 1.9 compatible and Windows ® Imaging Acquisition (WIA) drivers that will work with any of your TWAIN/WIA-compliant imaging applications. These TWAIN/WIA drivers are automatically installed for the DSmobile 610 when you load the Windows ® drivers. If you experience any difficulty with any of these drivers, please check our website http://www.brother.com to verify that you are using the latest version.
For your convenience, a version of PageManager ® is included on the Installation DVD. This software program allows you to scan and organize your digital files with the ability to view, edit, send, and save them. It will also output various selectable file formats. Note that DSmobileSCAN II software outputs Adobe ® PDF files as well as .JPG and .TIF files. Please follow the on-screen instructions. For help with how to use this software, please use the help facility within PageManager ® .
Scanning using Apple ® Mac OS ® X is supported by a Mac ® TWAIN driver using the “Image Capture” software provided on the Macintosh ® . This driver is included in the software DVD but must be manually installed. You can also download the DSmobile 610 Mac OS ® X driver from http://www.brother.com.
In the event that you have previously installed a driver for the DS610 (Windows: Ver B1.0.6 or below,
Macintosh: Ver B1.2.4 or below) and DSmobileSCANII (Ver 2.0.12 or below), your new scanner may not be compatible with this driver and software. Brother recommends installing the latest driver and software from the DVD that came with your scanner or download it from the web at http://solutions.brother.com.

To correct this problem, do the following: a Mouse over the Apple ® in the upper left corner of the desktop and select System Preferences.
b Select System and then Users & Groups.
c The left pane of the window will list the current accounts, one of which should be your user name with the word “Admin” underneath.

DSmobileSCAN II (Windows
®
Only)
This software supports Adobe ® Acrobat ® PDF, JPEG, and TIFF. Note that only PDF format files can be saved as multiple pages. JPEG and TIFF files will be stored as separate files with index numbers added to the filename (except for the first page).

Using DSmobileSCAN II as Your Default
The advantage of using DSmobileSCAN II as your default is that as a default program it provides the ability to scan automatically. Pressing the button on top of the scanner once starts DSmobileSCAN II software and pressing it again starts a document scan.
This program gives the user the choice of selecting type of scan and paper size from the main menu (shown above) or pressing the “Custom” button to utilize the document manager control panel for more precise settings. Selecting the custom settings will put the program into a TWAIN driver and takes you out of the actual DSmobileSCAN II software application.
If the Custom button is used, it cancels the automatic scan function. The user must choose the setting they wish to make custom, click on “OK” to put the program back to the scanning page, and then click on the green
“Scan” button to scan the page.
If DSmobileSCAN II is not set as the default program, when the button on top of the scanner is pressed, a
page 11. Follow the scanning instructions for the scanning software you have chosen.

A Note about Document Names
You can use a suffix with file names to add either an index number or a date. If you append the filename with a “%n”, the file name is appended with a sequential number beginning with 1 (if a previous file exists, the number is incremented to the next highest number). If you append the file name with a “%d”, the file name is appended with a date in the form YY-MM-DD.
Using DSmobileSCAN II Icon on Your Desktop 3
An icon ( ) will appear on your desktop after DSmobileSCAN II software installation. Using this icon will initiate the DSmobileSCAN software but unless DSmobileSCAN II is set as your default it will put it in a
“manual” mode which requires the user to click on the green “SCAN” button to initiate the scan.
If you have chosen DSmobileSCAN II as your default scanning software, pressing the button on the top of the scanner after DSmobileSCAN II has been launched from the icon will start the scan process.
If you have not chosen DSmobileSCAN II as your default scanning software, pressing the button on the top of the scanner after DSmobileSCAN II has been launched from the icon will display the “select the program to launch for this action” window. You can now choose another program from the menu. Although the
DSmobileSCAN window will show in the background, it will not interfere with the other scanning application you choose. To close DSmobileSCAN II window, you must click on the delete “X” at the top of DSmobileSCAN
II screen. Closing DSmobileSCAN II window will not interfere with your current software application.

TWAIN (FOR WINDOWS

)
The TWAIN driver for the DSmobile 610 is automatically installed when the Installation DVD installs the
Windows ® drivers. This TWAIN driver defines communication and data structures between software applications on your PC and the DSmobile 610.
All software that appears in the “select the program to launch for this action” window (shown below) will be
TWAIN and WIA-compliant software that is compatible with the DSmobile 610 scanner and allows scanning from that software program. Each program will initiate scanning differently. Please follow instruction according to the software program you are using.

Tips & Cautions
The DSmobile 610 scanner can provide long and productive service. We encourage you to follow the suggestions below to improve the convenience and quality of your scanning and document management experience.
Please do not insert stapled items into the DSmobile 610.
Please do not insert documents that have Wite-Out ® that is chipped or wet.
Please do not insert documents with any type of adhesive material, even POST-IT ® notes.
5
Staples Wite out Adhesives
Make sure the leading edge of your document is very straight (not wrinkled or having folded corners) and is inserted level with the intake slot.
Clean the scanner with the included cleaning sheet and 70% isopropyl alcohol (not included).
Place a few drops of the alcohol in the middle of the cleaning sheet then go to the Calibrate
Menu and select “CLEAN.” Your scanner will automatically pass the cleaning sheet over the internal image sensor to clean it.
Document sleeves can be easily cleaned with a clean cloth and a Windex ® type liquid glass cleaner. This will effectively remove finger prints, smudges and roller marks from the sleeve.
