Common questions
Can I scan a stack of originals?
Use the document feeder with supported originals. Use the scanner glass for items outside the feeder’s document specifications.
Does every feature in the guide apply to DCP-L2640DW?
No. The guide also covers MFC models with fax functions. Check the Related Models list before following a section.
Why do copies have a line but ordinary prints do not?
Check the scanner glass and feeder scanning surface using the cleaning section. Comparing copies with ordinary prints helps locate the affected area.
