An interface cable is not a standard accessory. You need to purchase an appropriate USB 2.0 interface cable or
network cable.
USB cable
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 Hi-Speed USB 2.0; however, 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.
Network cable
Use a straight-through Category5 (or greater) twisted-pair cable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet
Network.

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 Appendix 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.
