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).

v

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.

vi

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 600 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 600 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 600 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 600 Mac OS

®

X driver from http://www.brother.com.

In the event that you have previously installed a driver for the DS600 (Windows: Ver B1.2.13 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
