Acceptable paper and other print media

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

To get the best print quality for the settings you have c hosen, al ways s et t he Pap er Typ e to match the type of paper that is loaded in the tray.

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

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use Brother paper .

 When you print on inkjet paper (coated

paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to choose the correct print media in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu. (See Paper Type uu page 17.)

Recommended print media 2

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

 When you print on Brother Photo paper,

load one extra sheet of the same photo paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package for this purpose.

 When printing on to transparencies, load

one extra sheet in the paper tray.

 When you use transparencies or photo

 Store paper in its original packaging and

keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

 Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of

photo paper. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down.

 Avoid touching either si de of

transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration eas ily , and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transpar enc ies recommended for inkjet print ing.

Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover

Up to 50 sheets of 80 g/m2 A4 paper.

 Transparencies and phot o paper must be

picked up from the output paper t ray cover one page at a time to avoid smudging.

DO NOT use the following kind s of paper :

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 2 mm or greater curl may cause jams

to occur.

• Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

• Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

• Short grain paper

IMPORTANT

• If t he printing area shifts and t he Disc Tray or the transparent area near the center of the disc gets printed on, immediately wipe off the ink from those areas.

• Always close the Disc Guide an d store the Disc Tray in the scanner cover after printing. If you do not, the Disc Tray may become warped or bent and may cause the machine to malfunction when used.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

Routine maintenance A

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 det ects an ink cartridge is runni ng out of ink, the machine will tell you with a message on the LCD.

The LCD will tell you which ink cartridge is low or needs repl acing. Be sure to foll ow the LCD prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the correct order.

Even though the machine tell s you to replace an ink cartridge, there will be a s mall amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is neces s ar y to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly.

If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.

Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performan ce and reliability when used with Brother Original ink ca rtridges. Brother cannot guarantee thi s optimum performance and reliability if ink or ink cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges or the refilling of used cartridges with ink from other sources. If damage is cau sed to the print head or other parts of this machine as a result of using incompatible products with this machine, any repair s required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.

a Open the ink cartridge cover.

If one or m ore of th e ink c artri dges have reached the end of their life, the LCD shows B&W Print Only or Cannot Print.

b Press the lock releas e lever as shown to

release the cartridge indicated on the LCD. Remove the cartridge from the machine.

d Turn the green release lever on the

orange protective pack ing (1) clockwise until it clicks to releas e the vacuum seal. Then remove the orange protective packing as shown.

c Open the new ink cartridge bag for the

colour shown on the LCD, and then take out the ink cartridge.

e Each colour has its own correct position.

Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of the arrow on the label.

f Gently pus h the back of the ink car tridge

IMPORTANT

marked “PUSH” until it clicks, and then close the ink cartridge cover .

g The machine wi ll automatically reset the

ink dot counter.

• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for example Black, the LCD may ask you to verify that it was a brand new one (for

example, Did You Change Black). For each new cartridge you instal led, press Yes to automatically reset the ink dot counter for that colour. If the ink cartridge you insta lled is not a brand new one, be sure to press No.

Routine maintenance

• DO NOT take out 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 quanti ty 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 gets on your skin or clothing immediately wash it off with so ap or detergent.

• If you mix the colours by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after co rre cting the cartridge installation.

• Once you open an ink cartri dge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by t he expiration date wr itten on the cartridge package.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge; this can caus e the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

• If the LCD shows No Ink Cartridge or Cannot Detect after you install the ink

cartridges, check that the ink car tridges are brand new Original Broth er and that they are installed correctly.

Cleaning the scanner glass A

a Unplug the machine from the electrical

socket.

b Lift the document cover (1). Clean the

scanner glass (2) and the white plastic (3) with a soft lint-free cloth moistened with a non-flammable glass cleaner.

In addition to cleaning the glass st rip with a non-flammable glass cleaner, run your finger tip over the glass strip to see if you can feel anything on it. If you feel dirt or debris, clean the glass strip agai n concentrating on that area. You may need to repeat the cleaning process three or four times. To test, make a copy af ter each cleaning attempt.

When there is a spot of dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip the printed sample shows a vertical line.

Cleaning the print head A

To maintain good print quality, the machine will automatically clean the print head when needed. You can start the cleaning proces s manually if there is a print quality pr oblem.

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

Cleaning the print head consumes ink. Cleaning too often uses ink unnecess ar ily .

DO NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause permanent damage and may void the print head's warranty.

Error Message Cause Action

Ink Absorber Full The ink absorber box or flushing box is

full. These components are periodic maintenance items that may require replacement after a period of time to ensure optimum performance from your Brother machine. Because these components are periodic maintenance items, the replacement is not covered under the warranty. The need to replace these items and the time period before replacement is dependent on the number of purges and flushes required to clean the ink system. These boxes acquire amounts of ink during the different purging and flushing operations. The number of times a machine purges and flushes for cleaning varies depending on different situations. For example, frequently powering the machine on and off will cause numerous cleaning cycles since the machine automatically cleans upon power up. The use of non-Brother ink may cause frequent cleanings because non-Brother ink could cause poor print quality which is resolved by cleaning. The more cleani ng the machine requires the faster these boxes will fill up.

The ink absorber box or flushing box will need to be replaced. Contact Brother Customer Service or your local Brother Authorised Service Centre to have your machine serviced.

Other reasons for cleaning are: 1 The machine automatically cleans

itself after sitting idle for more than 30 days (infrequent use).

2 The machine automatically cleans

itself after the ink cartridges have been replaced 12 times.

Repairs resulting from the use of non-Brother supplies may not be covered under the stated product warranty.
