This warranty gives you certain rights and you may also have other rights that may vary from state to state.

This warranty is given only to the first end-use purchaser of the accompanying product (referred to in this warranty as “this Product”).

What is covered: Brother warrants to you for the Warranty Period that there are no defects in the materials, workmanship or Year 2000 compliance of this Product.

The “Warranty Period” for consumable items, such as Print Heads, Toner, Drums, Ink Cartridges, Print Cartridges, Refill Ribbons, Therma PLUS Paper and Thermal Paper, etc. is 90 days from the date of purchase, or the rated life of the Consumable item, whichever is shorter.

What is NOT covered: Warranty WILL BE VOID by Brother for repairs or replacements made necessary due to the following: (1) If the Product was not purchased from an authorized Brother reseller within the United States, (2) The Product has been serviced or modified by anyone other than an Authorized Service Representative of Brother, (3) The serial number has been modified, defaced or removed from this Product, (4) Non-Brother®-brand or nonBrother approved parts, supplies, power supplies or other accessories have been used with this Product, (5) Any damage caused by accident, neglect, abuse or misuse or, the recommended monthly volume has been exceeded, (6) Damages caused as a result of modification, alteration or repairs performed by anyone other than a Brother Authorized Service Representative.

What to do if you think your Product is defective: Call our Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-284-4329, or if you suspect a defect in materials or workmanship in this

During the Warranty Period, supply Brother’s representative with a copy of your dated bill of sale showing that this Product was purchased within the United States. For the name of your Brother Authorized Service Center, call 1-800-521-2846. After contacting the Brother Authorized Service Center, you may be required to deliver or send the Product properly packaged, freight prepaid, to the Authorized Service Center together with a photocopy of your bill of sale.

What Brother will do: Brother (or its Authorized Service Center) will evaluate your report of a possible defect to determine whether a defect exists, and if it does exist, Brother (or its Authorized Service Center) will repair or (at Brother’s option) replace the Product with a product that performs the same functions and performs as well as the original Product. Brother reserves the right to supply refurbished or remanufactured replacement parts provided that the replacement parts conform to the manufacturer’s specifications for new products. The repaired or replacement product will be returned to you at no cost.

Exchange Service: When an exchange is authorized, Brother will exchange your nonworking product with a refurbished or remanufactured product that conforms to the manufacturer’s specifications for new products. The refurbished or remanufactured Product you receive will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the replacement Product that is sent to you and must return (or be billed up to the cost of a new product) your original nonworking product, which shall become the property of Brother. You must call Brother Customer Service and if the representative cannot correct the product’s malfunction over the telephone and you elect the exchange service, you must provide information pertaining to this Product and you must also provide a valid major credit card number. Your credit card will be charged up to the cost of a new Product if: (i) you do not return your original Product to Brother within five (5) business days; (ii) the malfunctions of your original Product are not covered by the limited warranty;

BROTHER DIGITAL COPIER/PRINTER MACHINE

LIMITED WARRANTY

(For Canada Only)

Pursuant to this limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts,

Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its Authorized Service

Centers, will repair this Copier/Printer free of charge if defective in material or workmanship. This Limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner, and drum) or damage caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a

Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products. Operation of the Copier/Printer in excess of the specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed abuse and all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. In order to obtain warranty service, the Copier/Printer must be delivered or shipped freight prepaid by the end user/purchaser to a “Brother” Authorized Service Center, together with your Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt.

For laser products: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit on applicable models) during shipping will cause severe damage to the Copier/Printer and will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)

For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping. Damage to your print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges will VOID your warranty. (Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)

BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO

THE EXTENT THAT ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY WAIVED.

No oral or written information, advice or representation provided by Brother, its

Authorized Service Centers, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty or modify this warranty. This warranty states Brother’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the Copier/Printer to operate properly.

Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this Copier/Printer shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, arising from the use of or inability to use the product, even if advised by the end user/purchaser of the possibility of such damages. Since some Provinces do not allow the above limitation of liability, such limitation may not apply to you.

This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from Providence to Providence.

Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized Service Centers throughout Canada. For Technical Support or for the name and location of your nearest Authorized Service Center call 1-877-BROTHER. Within Montreal, please call 685-6464. Internet support: [e-mail] or

Choosing a Location

Place your DCP on a flat stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Place the machine near a standard, grounded power outlet. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 50°F and 95°F (10°–35°C).

Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the machine’s memory. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

NO! NO ! NO !

WARNING

■Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line, or unplug the lines during a lightning storm.
