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 machine on a flat, level, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a
desk. Put the machine near a telephone wall jack and a standard AC power outlet. Choose a
location where the temperature remains between 50F and 95F (10C and 35C) and the
humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).
DO NOT expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, salty or corrosive
gasses, moisture or dust. DO NOT place your machine on a carpet or rug, as this will expose it
to dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical short or fire. It may also damage the machine
and/or render it inoperable.
DO NOT place the machine 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
machine (including condensation caused by heating/air conditioning/ventilation equipment).
DO NOT place the machine near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be spilled on it.
Should chemicals come into contact with the machine, 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 machine to malfunction or become discolored.

CAUTION
IMPORTANT
DO NOT put the machine in a location where any slot or opening in the machine is obstructed
or blocked. These slots and openings are provided for ventilation. Blocking the machine’s
ventilation could create a risk of overheating and/or fire. Instead:
• Place the machine on a solid surface, never on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface.
• Do not place this machine near or over a radiator or heater.
• Do not place this machine in a “built-in” installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.
To avoid danger of suffocation, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children. Do not use
this bag in cribs, beds, carriages or play pens. This bag is not a toy.
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic area,
ensure that the machine is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally knocked-over,
which could cause injury to you and serious damage to the machine.
Ensure that cables and cords leading to the machine are secured so as not to pose a tripping
hazard.
DO NOT place this machine on an unstable or tilted cart, stand, table or on any tilted/slanted
surface. The machine is heavy and may fall, causing injury to you and serious damage to the
machine.
• DO NOT place your machine 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
machine's electronic components.
• DO NOT tip the machine after the ink cartridges are installed. Doing so may cause ink spillage
and internal damage to the machine.
• DO NOT connect your machine to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers. Disruption of power can delete information from the machine's memory, and repeated
cycling of the power can damage the machine.

the machines plugged into the extension cord DO NOT exceed the extension cord ampere
rating. Also, make sure that the total of all machines plugged into the AC power outlet does
not exceed 15 amperes (USA only).

Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has
been unplugged at the wall jack. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never
install a telephone wall jack in a wet location.
