I could not understand your problem clearly.
If I am right, you are saying that if you scan 100 pages, about 80 pages are scanned properly and the there is problem with the balance 20. Clean the rollers throughly with a damp cloth and also the ****** rollers. Please swithc of the scanner when you are cleaning the ****** rollers as they are in a 'locked' position in power on position.
If your problem is different, please explain it clearly.

the easiest way to scan a 20mpage doc or more is to opeb the paper port icon and then follow the prompts, this is easier then scanning from the printer good luck brother sr tech

I called technical support for this issue previously with my brother mfc. It would only do this during color scanning. b&w scanning was just fine. The tech support put me through resetting the reference point of the scanner through a series of button pressing and closing and opening the paper feeder. I kept gettting the same lousy results. Then they determined that the scanner module needs replacing and I needed to take to the nearest service center.

First install everything, than go to my computer at the bottom u will have Scanners and Camera, click on Brother MFC-7420 USB
Than if the window pop ups than click on Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard
Now u will have new Window "Scanner and Camera Wizard" click Next
On next page u will see Choose Scanning Preferences in there u will find "Paper Source"
click on the Scroll down option and pick "DOCUMENT FEEDER" and Click next
than hopefully u know wat to do pick the name fro scans that u going to make pick the folder to place it in and it will start scanning by it self and will send i to ur computer.
And put ur Scan paper with the side that u wanna scan FACE UP in the FAX tray which is on the Top or all in one Printer

I have a Brother MFC-8840Dn (full legal-size flatbed as well as document feeder). I use Windows XP Pro and a USB connection. I'm not sure my fix works with other Brother models or different Windows operating systems, but it's a way to start troubleshooting at least.

I've always been able to print legal-sized pages from word processing or spreadsheet programs and receive legal-sized faxes. But I never could make legal-sized photocopies or PDF scans. The image was always cut off at Letter size. The fix is a Brother Utility set-up setting:

*** Go to Start / All Programs / Brother / MFL-Pro Suite MFC 8840Dn / Scanner Utility. (This link may also be called something like Scanner Settings.)
*** At the "Maximum Scanning Size", select "Legal" instead of "Letter/A4".
*** Click OK and restart your PC for the new setting to take effect.

It's like magic -- I can now scan a full legal-sized PDF, whether on the flatbed or through the ADF. I also tried a compressed TIFF scan and it came out fine.

**** Make sure your software and/or Brother Control Center scanning configurations are set to Legal if that's what you want for the particular image scan. The Brother Utility setting simply enables the option of choosing the larger legal-sized paper, which then allows the full legal-sized image scan, You always have to set your software to make that choice, just as you would to make and print smaller images on Letter, A4, envelopes, etc. (NOTE: I always start scans through software on my PC, like Adobe Acrobat or PaperPort, and the Utility Setting fix is working fine. However, I just tried pressing the SCAN button on the front panel of the MFC itself with a legal-sized document on the flatbed and through the document feeder. I still got Letter-sized image scans. So, there must be another setting somewhere for starting scans directly from the MFC that I'll locate later.)

I was about to buy a different brand of scanner because of the frustration with legal-sized images. It's like having a new scanner now :) I hope this Utility Setting info helps you troubleshoot your legal-sized image problem.

plz help me to understand: waisting paper by scanning?????
There is no paper to waist!

The machine scans the whole glass! The settings for scanning can be set by the scan software. Do have a look there. It might be that the settings auto crop the size.
In case you run copy do change the paper size.
