Safety precautions

To use the MFC safely

Please refer to these instructions for later reference and before attempting any maintenance.

WARNING

There are high voltage electrodes inside the MFC. Before you clean the MFC, make sure you have unplugged the telephone line cord first and then the power cord from the electrical socket.

To prevent injuries, be careful not to put your hands on the edge of the MFC under the scanner cover.

When you move the MFC, place a hand at each side of the unit so you are supporting the base when you lift it. (See the illustration on the right.) Do not carry the MFC by holding the scanner cover.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

To prevent injuries, be careful not to touch the area shaded in the illustration.

WARNING

■

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the wall socket. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install a telephone wall socket in a wet location.

■

This product must be installed near an electrical socket that is easily accessible. In case of emergencies, you must disconnect the power cord from the electrical socket in order to shut off power completely.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using your telephone equipment, basic safety

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or washing machine, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

2. Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

3. Do not use this product to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

iii

Choosing a location

Place your MFC on a flat, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk. Put the MFC near a telephone socket and a standard, grounded electrical socket. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 10° and 35°C.

Caution

■

Avoid placing your MFC in a high-traffic area.

■

Avoid placing your MFC on the carpet.

■

Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators.

■

Do not expose the MFC to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.

■

Do not connect your MFC to electrical sockets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.

■

Disruption of power can wipe out information in the MFC’s memory.

■

Do not connect your MFC to electrical sockets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply.

■

Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

1 - 6 INTRODUCTION

About paper

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the MFC.

To get the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

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

We recommend testing various paper types before purchasing large quantities.

For best results, use the recommended paper.

■

When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu (

■

When you print on Brother glossy paper, load the instruction sheet included with the glossy paper in the paper tray first, and then place the glossy paper on the instruction sheet.

■

When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.

■

Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and stain your fingers.

Menu/Set, 1, 2

Recommended Paper

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

If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities.

We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on transparencies.

Brother Paper

Paper Type Item

A4 Plain BP60PA A4 Glossy BP60GLA A4 Inkjet (Photo Matte) BP60MA

INTRODUCTION 1 - 7

Handling and using special paper

■

Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

■

The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing down.

■

Avoid touching either side of transparencies, because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

Do not use paper:

■

that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped

2 mm or longer

■

that are extremely shiny or highly textured

■

that were previously printed by a printer

■

that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

■

that are made with a short grain
