relating to the publication.
Choosing a locationA
Put your product on a flat, level, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk.
Put the product near a telephone wall jack and a standard grounded AC power outlet. Choose a
location where the temperature remains between 50°F and 90.5°F (10°C and 32.5°C) and the
humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).
DO NOT expose the product to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, salty or corrosive
gasses, moisture or dust. Doing so may create a risk of an 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 fan, 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).
DO NOT place the product near chemicals. Should the chemicals come into contact with the
product, there may be a risk of fire. The 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:
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
• Keep a gap of roughly 4 in. (100 mm) between the ventilation hole and the wall.
• Place the product on a solid surface, never on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface.
• DO NOT place this product near or over a radiator or heater.
• DO NOT place this product in a “built-in” installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.
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 install your product near an AC power outlet that is easily accessible. In the event of an
emergency, easy access to the plug and outlet will allow you to shut off power to the product
quickly and completely.
Plastic bags are used in the packing of your product and drum unit. Plastic bags are not toys.
To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children and dispose
of them properly.
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 this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The product is heavy and may fall, causing injury to you, and serious damage to the product.
DO NOT eat the Silica Pack. Discard immediately.
• 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.
• DO NOT connect your product to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic
