1 - 7 INTRODUCTION

About paper

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before purchasing large quantities.

For best results, use the recommended paper.

■ When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper),

transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu.

■ When you print on Brother glossy paper, load the instruction

sheet included with the glossy paper in the paper tray first, and then place the glossy paper on the instruction sheet.

■ When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each

sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.

■ Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately

after printing. The surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

Recommended Paper

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.)

If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities.

We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on transparencies.

Handling and using special paper

■ Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the

paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

■ The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the

shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing down.

■ Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they

absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

Do not use paper:

■ that is damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped

2 mm or longer

■ that is extremely shiny or highly textured

■ that was previously printed by a printer

■ that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

■ that is made with a short grain

PhotoCapture Center™ requirements

Your machine is designed to be compatible with modern digital camera image files and media cards; however, please read the points below to avoid errors:

■ The DPOF file on the media card must be in a valid format.

(See DPOF printing on page 3-8.)

■ The image file extension must be .JPG (Other image file

extensions .JPEG, .TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized).

■ Walk-up PhotoCapture Center

■ IBM Microdrive

■ The machine can read up to 999 files in a media card.

■ Use only Smart media cards with a 3.3v voltage rating.

■ CompactFlash

■ xD-Picture Card

Type II is not supported.

™

Type M (Large Capacity) is supported.

When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the PhotoCapture Center™ will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be printed.

Your machine is designed to read media cards that have been formatted by a digital camera.

When a digital camera formats a media card it creates a special folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the image data stored on a media card with your PC, we recommend that you do not modify the folder structure created by the digital camera. When saving new or modified image files to the media card we also recommend you use the same folder your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same folder the machine may not be able to read the file or print the image.

How to improve print quality

Cleaning the print head

To ensure good print quality, the machine will regularly clean the print head. You can start the cleaning process manually if needed.

Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you get a horizontal line in the text or graphics on your printed pages. You can clean Black only or three colours at a time (Cyan/Yellow/Magenta), or all four colours at once.

Cleaning the print head consumes ink. Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.

Caution

Do NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause permanent damage and may void the print head’s warranty.

Press (Ink Management).

Press or to select Cleaning. Press

Press or to select Black, Color or All. Press The machine will clean the print head. When cleaning is

Packing and shipping the machine

Whenever you transport the machine, use the packing materials that came with your machine. If you do not pack the machine properly, you could void your warranty.

Caution

It is important to allow the machine to ‘park’ the print head after a print job. Listen carefully to the machine before disconnecting it from the power source to ensure that all mechanical noise has stopped. Not allowing the machine to complete this parking process may lead to print problems and possible damage to the print head.

Lift the scanner cover from the right-hand side of the machine until it locks securely into the open position.

Remove all the ink cartridges and attach the yellow protective parts. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 6-22.)

When attaching the yellow protective parts, make sure it clips into place as shown in the diagram.

Caution

If you are not able to find the yellow protective parts, do NOT remove the ink cartridges before shipping. It is essential that the machine be shipped with the yellow protective parts or the ink cartridges in position. Shipping without them will cause damage to your machine and may void your warranty.

Replacing the ink cartridges

Your machine is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the four cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will notify you with a message on the LCD.

The LCD will inform you which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the correct order.

Even though the machine informs you that an ink cartridge is empty, there will be a small amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridge. It is necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly.

Lift the scanner cover from the right-hand side of the machine until it locks securely into the open position.

If one or more ink cartridges are empty, for example Black, the LCD shows Ink Empty Black and Replace Ink.

Pull the ink cartridge hook toward you and remove the ink cartridge for the colour shown on the LCD.

If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, please be sure to select (No).

If you wait until Ink Empty message is displayed on the LCD, the machine will automatically reset the ink dot counter.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 6 - 24

Caution

■ Do not remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them.

If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

■ Do not touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink

may stain your skin.

■ If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent

immediately.

■ If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong colour position, you

must clean the print head several times before you start printing (after correcting the cartridge installation) because the colours were mixed.

■ Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use

it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package.

■ Do not dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause

the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

■ Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of

a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother branded ink cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if ink or ink cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother branded cartridges or the refilling of empty cartridges with this machine or the refilling of empty cartridges with ink from other sources. If damage is caused to the print head or other parts of this machine as a result of using in compatible products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.
