DCP LIMITED WARRANTY (USA)
v
What happens when Brother elects to
replace your Machine:
When a replacement Machine is authorized
by Brother, and you have delivered the
Machine to an Authorized Service Center,
the Authorized Service Center will provide
you with a replacement Machine after
receiving one from Brother. If you are
dealing directly with Brother, Brother will
send to you a replacement Machine with the
understanding that you will, after receipt of
the replacement Machine, supply the
required proof of purchase information,
together with the Machine that Brother
agreed to replace. You are then expected to
pack the Machine that Brother agreed to
replace in the package from the replacement
Machine and return it to Brother using the
shipping bill supplied by Brother in
accordance with the instructions provided by
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 Product and
determines that your original Product is
entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit
card will be charged up to the cost of a new
Product only if: (i) you do not return your
original Product to Brother within five (5)
business days; (ii) the problems of your
original Product are not covered by the
warranty; (iii) the proper packaging
instructions are not followed and has caused
damage to the product; or (iv) the warranty
period on your original Product has expired
or has not been sufficiently validated with a
copy of the proof of purchase (bill of sale).
The replacement Machine you receive (even
if refurbished or remanufactured) will be
covered by the balance of the warranty
period remaining on the original Product,
plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will
keep the replacement Machine that is sent to
you and your original Machine shall become
the property of Brother. Retain your
original Accessory Items and a copy of
the return shipping bill, signed by the
courier.
Limitations:
Brother is not responsible for damage to or
loss of any equipment, media, programs or
data related to the use of this Product.
Except for that 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 Warranty is the only w arranty that
Brother is giving for this Product. 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 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
Product and your bill of sale date, (2)
describe the change to this warranty and
(3) agree to make that change.
Important:
all original packing materials, in the event
that you ship this product.
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 DCP/Facsimile machine 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 DCP/Facsimile machine 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 DCP/Facsimile machine 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 DCP/Facsimile and
will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your User’s Guide 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 User’s Guide 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 DCP/Facsimile machine
to operate properly.
Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of
this DCP/Facsimile machine 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

recommendations for paper that can be used with the
DCP-8040 and DCP-8045D.
and check the latest
Choosing acceptable paper
We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and
types of paper) on the DCP before purchasing large quantities.
■
Avoid feeding label sheets that are partly used or your DCP will
be damaged.
■
Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.
■
Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper, or paper with an
embossed letterhead.
For optimum printing, use a recommended type of paper, especially
for plain paper and transparencies. For more information on paper
specifications, call your nearest authorized sales representative or
the place where you purchased your DCP.
■
Use label or transparencies that are designed for use in
printers.
■
For the best print quality, we recommend using long-grained
paper.
■
If you are using special paper and the paper has problems
feeding from the paper tray, try again using the manual feed tray
or multi-purpose tray.
When printing transparencies, remove each one from the
face-down output tray after it exists the DCP.
