Compilation and Publication 1
WARNING
Under the supervision of Brother Industries, Ltd., this manual has been compiled and published,
covering the latest product descriptions and specifications.
The contents of this manual and the specifications of this product are subject to change without
notice.
Brother reserves the right to make changes without notice in the specifications and materials
contained herein and shall not be responsible for any damages (including consequential) caused
by reliance on the materials presented, including but not limited to typographical and other errors
relating to the publication.
Choosing a location 1
Put your product on a flat, level, stable surface, such as a desk, that is free of vibration and shocks
and is not slanted more than 2. Put the product near a standard grounded AC power outlet.
Choose a location where the temperature remains between 64.4F and 91.4F (18C and 33C)
and the humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).
DO NOT expose the product to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses,
moisture or dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical shock, electrical short or fire. It may
also damage the product and/or render it inoperable.
DO NOT place the product near heaters, air conditioners, electrical fans, refrigerators, or water.
Doing so may create the risk of a short circuit or fire, should water come into contact with the
product (including condensation caused by heating/air conditioning/ventilation equipment).
2
CAUTION
DO NOT place the product near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be spilled on it.
Should chemicals come into contact with the product, there may be a risk of fire or electric
shock. In particular, organic solvents or liquids such as benzene, paint thinner, polish remover,
or deodorizer may melt or dissolve the plastic cover and/or cables, resulting in a risk of fire or
electric shock. These or other chemicals may also cause the product to malfunction or become
discolored.
DO NOT put the product in a location where any slot or opening in the product is obstructed or
blocked. These slots and openings are provided for ventilation. Blocking the product’s
ventilation could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.
Instead:
• Keep a gap of roughly 13 in. (330 mm) between the ventilation hole and the wall.
• Place the product on a solid surface. DO NOT place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar soft surface.
• DO NOT place this product in a “built-in” installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.
Plastic bags are used in the packing of your machine. Plastic bags are not toys. To avoid the
danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children and dispose of them
correctly.
Avoid placing your product in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic area, ensure
that the product is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally knocked-over, which could
cause injury to you and serious damage to the product. Also ensure that cords are secured so
as not to pose a tripping hazard.
DO NOT place heavy objects on the product. DO NOT place this product on an unstable cart,
stand, or table, particularly if children are expected to be near the product. The product is heavy
and may fall, causing injury to you or others, and serious damage to the product.
3
Important
• DO NOT put objects on top of the product. Doing so could increase the risk of overheating
and/or fire should the product malfunction.
• DO NOT place your product next to devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields.
Doing so may interfere with the operation of the product, causing print quality problems.
• DO NOT place your product next to sources of interference, such as speakers or the base units
of non Brother cordless telephones. Doing so may interfere with the operation of the product’s
electronic components.
• When lifting or moving the machine after the ink cartridge is installed, try to keep the machine
as level as possible and do not keep the machine tilted for a long time. Tilting the machine may
cause ink spillage and internal damage to the machine.
• DO NOT connect your product to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers. Disruption of power can delete information from the product’s memory.
• DO NOT connect your product to an AC power outlet on the same circuit as large appliances
or other equipment that requires a significant amount of electricity to operate. Operating this
product in conjunction with the other product(s) could create an overvoltage, tripping your
circuit breaker or blowing your fuse.
• If there is a power failure or the power cord of the machine is left unplugged for a long period
of time, set the date and time again after the power is restored. If the date and time are not set,
the product's automatic cleaning function will not work properly and print quality may decrease.
