Safety precautions
To use the printer safely
WARNING
There are high voltage electrodes inside the printer. Before you clean the inside of the printer or replace
parts, make sure that you have turned off the power switch and unplugged the printer from the AC power
outlet.
DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.
The fuser unit becomes extremely hot during operation. Wait until it has cooled down sufficiently before
replacing consumable items. DO NOT remove or damage the caution label located on or around the fuser.
ii
DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner to clean up scattered toner. Doing this might cause the toner dust to ignite
inside the vacuum cleaner, potentially starting a fire. Carefully clean the toner dust with a dry, lint-free cloth
and dispose of it according to local regulations.
DO NOT use flammable substances or any type of spray to clean the inside or outside of the machine.
Doing this may cause a fire or electrical shock.
If the printer becomes hot, blows smoke, or generates an obscure odor, immediately turn off the power
switch and unplug the printer from the AC power outlet. Call your Brother dealer or Brother Customer
Service.
If metal objects, water or other liquids get inside the printer, immediately turn off the power switch and
unplug the printer from the AC power outlet. Call your Brother dealer or Brother Customer Service.
This printer is heavy and weighs approximately 64.2 lb (29.1 kg). To prevent injuries when moving or lifting
this printer, make sure to use at least two people. Be careful not to pinch your fingers when you set the
printer back down.
CAUTION
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 printer during a lightning storm.

About this Printer
Positioning the printer 1
Read the following before you use the printer.
Power supply 1
Use the printer within the recommended power range.
Power source: USA and Canada: AC 110 to 120 V, 50/60 Hz
Europe and Australia: AC 220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz
The power cord, including extensions, should be no longer than 5 meters (16.5 feet).
Do not share the same power circuit with other high-powered appliances, such as an air conditioner, copier,
shredder and so on. If you cannot avoid using the printer with these appliances, we recommend that you use
a voltage transformer or a high-frequency noise filter.
Use a voltage regulator if the power source is not stable.
Environment 1
1
Put your printer on a flat, stable surface such as a desk that is free of vibration and shocks.
Put the printer near an AC power outlet, so that it can be easily unplugged from the AC power outlet if there
is an emergency.
Only use the printer within the following ranges of temperature and humidity:
Temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to 90.5 °F)
Humidity: 20% to 80% (without condensation)
Use the printer in a well-ventilated room.
DO NOT put the printer where the ventilation hole of the printer is blocked. Keep a gap of roughly 100 mm
(4 in.) between the ventilation hole and the wall.
DO NOT expose the printer to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
DO NOT put the printer near devices that contain magnets or produce magnetic fields.
DO NOT expose the printer to open/naked flames or salty or corrosive gasses.
DO NOT put objects on top of the printer.
DO NOT put the printer near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators.
Keep the printer horizontal when you carry it. To prevent injuries when moving or lifting this printer, make
sure to use at least two people.

(To help you choose which paper to use with this printer, see Important information for choosing your
paper on page 177.)

Printing Methods
Types of envelopes 2
Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes may have feed and print quality
problems due to the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, wellcreased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two pieces of paper. The envelope should lie
flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who
understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser printer. Before you print a lot of envelopes, test
one to make sure that the print results are what you want.
Brother does not recommend a particular envelope because envelope manufacturers may change the
envelope specifications. You are responsible for the quality and performance of the envelopes you use.
Do not use damaged, curled, wrinkled, irregularly shaped, extremely shiny or textured envelopes.
Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, tie strings, self-adhesive components, windows, holes, cutouts
or perforations.
Do not use envelopes that are of a baggy construction, not sharply creased, embossed (have raised
writing on them) or pre-printed on the inside.
Do not use envelopes that were previously printed by a laser printer.
Do not use envelopes that cannot be arranged when put in a pile.
Do not use envelopes that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for
the printer.
2
Do not use envelopes that have been badly made, with edges that are not straight or consistently square.
If you use any of the types of envelopes listed above, they may damage your printer. This damage is not
covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.
Note
• Do not put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or
misfeeds.
• Do not print envelopes using duplex printing.
• You must choose the same paper size from your application as the paper in the tray.
