Troubleshooting

If you need assistance during setup and want to contact Brother Customer Service, make sure you have your SSID (Network Name) and Network Key ready. We cannot assist you in locating this information.

How can I find the wireless security information (SSID and Network Key*)

1) Check documentation provided with your wireless access point/router.

2) The default SSID could be the manufacturer’s name or the model name.

3) If you do not know the security information, please consult the router manufacturer, your system administrator, or your Internet provider.

* The Network Key may also be described as the Password, Security Key, or Encryption Key. * If the WLAN access point/router is not broadcasting the SSID, the SSID will not automatically be detected.

You must manually enter the SSID name. See Configuring your machine when the SSID is not broadcasting in the Network User’s Guide.

Error Status/Error Codes

Product Safety Guide

Compilation and Publication

Under the supervision of Brother Industries, Ltd., this manual has been compiled and published, covering the latest product descriptions and specifications.

The contents of this manual and the specifications of this product are subject to change without notice.

Brother reserves the right to make changes without notice in the specifications and materials contained herein and shall not be responsible for any damages (including consequential) caused by reliance on the materials presented, including but not limited to typographical and other errors relating to the publication.

Choosing a location

Put your machine and AC adapter (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the unit”) on a flat, level, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 41°F and 95°F (5°C and 35°C) and the humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).

WARNING

DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses, moisture or dust.

DO NOT place the unit on a carpet or rug, as this will expose it to dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical short or fire. It may also damage the unit and/or render it inoperable.

DO NOT place the unit near heaters, air conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators, radiators, or water. Doing so may create the risk of a short circuit or fire should water come into contact with the unit (including condensation from heating, air conditioning, and/or ventilation equipment that may be sufficient to create a short circuit or fire).

DO NOT place the unit near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be spilled on it. Should chemicals come into contact with the unit, there may be a risk of fire or electric shock. In particular, organic solvents or liquids such as benzene, paint thinner, polish remover, or deodorizer may melt or dissolve the plastic cover and/or cables, resulting in a risk of fire or electric shock. These or other chemicals may also cause the unit to malfunction or become discolored.

Product Safety Guide

The product should be placed so as not to come into contact with any wall or other device. Otherwise, it could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.

Instead:

• Place the unit on a solid surface, never on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface.

• Do not place the unit in a “built-in” installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.

CAUTION

Avoid placing the unit in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic area, ensure that the unit is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally knocked-over, which could cause injury to you and serious damage to the unit.

Ensure that cables and cords leading to the unit are secured so as not to pose a tripping hazard.

DO NOT place the unit on an unstable or tilted cart, stand, table or on any tilted/slanted surface. The machine is heavy and may fall, causing injury to you and serious damage to the unit.

Make sure that no part of the unit protrudes from the desk or stand where the unit is located. Make sure that the unit is located on a flat, level, and stable surface free from vibration. Failure to observe these precautions could cause the unit to fall, causing injury to you and serious damage to the unit.

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT place your machine next to sources of interference, such as speakers or the base units of non-Brother cordless telephones. Doing so may interfere with the operation of the machine’s electronic components.

• DO NOT connect the unit to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can delete information from the machine’s memory, and repeated cycling of the power can damage the unit.

Product Safety Guide

To use the unit safely

WARNING

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

Failure to follow the warnings in this section may create the risk of an electrical shock. In addition, you could create an electrical short, which may create the risk of a fire.

There are high-voltage electrodes inside the unit. Before you access the inside of the machine, including for routine maintenance such as cleaning, make sure you have unplugged the power cord from the AC power outlet.

DO NOT push objects of any kind into the unit through slots or openings in the cabinet, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts.

DO NOT continue using the unit if it has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. Instead, unplug the unit from the power outlet and contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

The unit should be connected to an AC power source within the range indicated on Specifications in the User's Guide. DO NOT connect it to a DC power source or inverter. Doing this might cause an electrical shock or a risk of fire. If you are not sure what kind of power source you have, contact a qualified electrician.

If water, other liquids, or metal objects get inside the unit, immediately unplug the unit from the AC power outlet and contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

Power Cord Safety:

• Use only the power cord supplied with this product.

Product Safety Guide

AC Adapter Safety

Only use the supplied AC adapter with the unit. Only plug the AC adapter into a power outlet with voltage that is within the range indicated on Specifications in the User's Guide. Failure to do so may result in injury to yourself or others, or damage to the machine or other property. Brother does not assume any responsibility for any damage resulting from using an AC adapter other than the one specified.

DO NOT use a damaged AC adapter.

DO NOT place heavy objects on, damage, or modify the AC adapter.

DO NOT forcibly bend the cord of the AC adapter.

DO NOT forcibly pull the cord of the AC adapter.

DO NOT drop, hit, or otherwise damage the AC adapter.

DO NOT touch the unit during a thunderstorm when the AC adapter is plugged in. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning when the machine is used during a thunderstorm.

When disconnecting the AC adapter from the machine or from the power outlet, always hold the connector, not the cable, and pull firmly. Failure to do so may result in exposed or broken power cord wires and/or create a risk of fire, or electric shock.

Make sure that one end of the power cord is firmly plugged into a standard power outlet and the other end is firmly plugged into the adapter block. Do not use an outlet that is loose. If the power cord is not completely plugged into the power outlet and adapter block, the adapter may become hot and/or catch fire.

Product Safety Guide

DO NOT exceed the rated input or output of the AC adapter.

DO NOT connect the supplied AC adapter to other products.

This product was packaged in a plastic bag. To avoid suffocation, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children. Do not use the bag in cribs, beds, carriages or play pens. The bag is not a toy.

FIRE HAZARDS Failure to follow the warnings in this section may create the risk of a fire.

DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray or an organic solvent/liquid that contains alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the unit. Doing this may cause a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Do not disassemble or modify the unit, otherwise fire or electric shock may result. If the unit requires repair, contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

If the unit becomes hot, releases smoke, or generates any strong smells, immediately unplug the unit from the power outlet and call Brother Customer Service.
