Since the machine is grounded through the power
outlet, you can protect yourself from potentially
hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone
network by keeping the power switched on when
you connect the Fax to a telephone line. Similarly,
you can protect yourself when you want to move

cartridges repeatedly. If you do
so, the ink may seep out of the

• Brother strongly recommends
that you do not refill the ink
cartridges provided with your
machine. We also strongly
recommend that you continue to
use only Genuine Brother Brand
replacement ink cartridges.
Using or attempting to use
potentially incompatible inks
and/or cartridges in your
machine may cause damage to
the machine itself and/or it may
result in unsatisfactory print
quality. Our warranty coverage
does not apply to any problem
that was caused by the use of
unauthorized third party ink and/
or cartridges. To protect your
investment and guarantee your
print quality please continue to
replace consumed ink cartridges
with only Genuine Brother
