A USB interface cable is not a standard accessory.

Please make sure you use a USB 2.0 cable that is no longer than 6 feet (2 meters) long.

Your machine has a USB interface that is compatible with the USB 2.0 specification. This interface is also compatible with Full-Speed USB 2.0; however, the maximum data transfer rate will be 12 Mbits/s. The machine can also be connected to a computer that has a USB 1.1 interface.

DO NOT connect the interface cable at this time.

Connecting the interface cable is done during the software installation process.

When you use a USB cable, make sure you connect it to the USB port of your computer and not to a USB port on a keyboard or a non-powered USB hub.

Setting Up the Machine

Caution

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 quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.

DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the cartridge.

If you mix the colors by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation.

(See Cleaning the print head in Appendixes B of the User’s Guide.)

Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package.

DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the ink cartridges provided with your machine. We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Brand replacement ink cartridges. Using or attempting to use potentially incompatible inks and/or cartridges in your machine may cause damage to the machine itself and/or it may result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that was caused by the use of unauthorized third party ink and/or cartridges. To protect your investment and guarantee your print quality please continue to replace consumed ink cartridges with only Genuine Brother Branded Supplies.
