Safety Precautions

To Use the Printer Safely

Warning

There are high voltage electrodes inside the printer. Before you clean the inside of the printer, 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.

After you have just used the printer, some internal parts of the printer will be extremely hot. DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustration when you open the front or back cover of the printer.

Inside the printer (Front View)

Open the back cover (Back View)

DO NOT remove or damage the caution labels located on or around the fuser.

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. Please carefully clean the toner dust with a dry, lint-free cloth and dispose of it according to local regulations.

DO NOT use flammable substances near the printer. Doing this might cause a fire or electrical shock.

This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

FDA Regulations (110 to 120 volt Model Only)

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has implemented regulations for laser products manufactured on and after August 2, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. One of the following labels on the back of the printer indicates compliance with the FDA regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.

IMPORTANT - For Your Safety

To ensure safe operation, the supplied three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power outlet that is properly grounded through the normal household wiring.

Extension cords used with this printer must be threepin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause personal injury and equipment damage.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power, call a qualified electrician.

This product should be connected to an AC power source within the range indicated on the rating label. DO NOT connect it to a DC power source. If you are not sure, contact a qualified electrician.

Safety Precautions

Disconnect device

You must install this printer near a power outlet that is easily accessible. In case of an emergency, you must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to shut off the power completely.

Caution for LAN connection

Connect this product to a LAN connection that is not subjected to over voltages.

IT power system (For Norway only)

This product is also designed for an IT power system with phase-to-phase voltage 230V.

Wiring information (for UK) Important

If you need to replace the plug fuse, fit a fuse that is approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same rating as the original fuse.

Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug that does not have a cover.

Warning - This printer must be earthed.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in line with the following code:

Green and Yellow: Earth

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

If in any doubt, call a qualified electrician.

(Windows® 98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT® 4.0 only)

®	Wireless Network
Windows

Connect your wireless printer and wireless network together: install the printer driver in infrastructure mode

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your printer to communicate with your network access point (router). After the printer is configured to communicate with your access point (router) computers on your network will have access to the printer. To use the printer from these computers, you will need to install the printer driver. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother printer as close to the network access point (router) as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.

Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and applications. If you are printing large files, such as photos or multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput speed.

Important

The following instructions will install your Brother printer in a wireless network environment in infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access point that uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. If you want to setup your printer in any other wireless environment you can find instructions in the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

Note

•If you are going to connect the printer to your network, we recommend that you contact your system administrator prior to installation.

Infrastructure Mode

Installing the Printer Driver

Windows®

Confirm your network environment

The setup process will be different depending on your network environment.

Installation using SecureEasySetup™.

If your wireless access point (A) supports SecureEasySetup™, you do not need to use a computer to configure the printer. The access point (router) and your printer can automatically negotiate using the SecureEasySetup™ procedure.

For instructions, see Chapter 3 in the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

Installation temporarily using a network cable.

If there is an Ethernet Hub or Router in the same network as the wireless access point of your printer, you can temporarily connect the Hub or Router to the printer using an Ethernet cable (B), this is an easy way to configure the printer. You can then remotely configure the printer from a computer on the network.

For instructions, go to page 22.
