Compilation and Publication Notice 1

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.

Choose a safe location for your machine 1

WARNING

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

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, water, chemicals or devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields. 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).

Slots and openings in the casing and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the machine and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

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.

IMPORTANT

• Always 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.

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT put objects on top of the machine.

WARNING

• DO NOT place anything in front of the machine that will block received faxes. DO NOT place anything in the path of received faxes.

• 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 place the machine on any tilted/slanted surface. DO NOT tip the machine after the ink cartridges are installed. Doing so may cause ink spillage and internal damage to the machine.

General precautions 1

Plastic bags are used in the packing of your machine. To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children.

Never push objects of any kind into this machine through cabinet slots, since they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in the risk of fire or electric shock. If metal objects, water or other liquids get inside the machine, immediately unplug the machine from the electrical socket. Call your Brother dealer or Brother Customer Service.

DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray, or an organic solvent/liquid that contains alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Doing this may cause a fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION

Wait until pages have exited the machine before picking them up. Doing this may cause injury to your fingers by trapping them in a roller.

Some areas of the machine can cause injury if covers (shaded) are closed with force. Take care when placing your hand in the areas shown in the illustrations.

DO NOT touch the area shaded in the illustration. Doing this may cause injury to your fingers by cutting them on the edge of the machine.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT carry the machine by holding the scanner cover or the Jam Clear Cover. Doing this may cause the machine to slip out of your hands. Only carry the machine by placing your hands under the entire machine.

(MFC-J6510DW) 1

(MFC-J6710DW and MFC-J6910DW)

To prevent injuries when moving or lifting this machine, make sure to use at least two people. Be careful not to pinch your fingers when you set the machine back down.

• Disruption of power can wipe out information in the machine's memory.

• (MFC-J6910DW) DO NOT touch the Touchscreen immediately after plugging in the power cord or turning on the machine. Doing this may cause an error.

Connecting the machine safely 1

WARNING

DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

Always make sure the plug is fully inserted.

This machine should be connected to an adjacent grounded AC power source within the range indicated on the rating label. DO NOT connect it to a DC power source or inverter. Doing this might cause an electrical shock. If you are not sure what kind of power source you have, contact a qualified electrician.

This machine is equipped with a 3-wire grounded plug. This plug will only fit into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, call your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. DO NOT defeat the purpose of the grounded plug. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

DO NOT use the machine if the power cord is frayed or damaged, doing so may cause an electrical shock or a fire.

WARNING

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

DO NOT pull on the middle of the AC power cord. DO NOT allow anything to rest on the power cord. DO NOT place this machine where people can walk on the cord. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has been unplugged at the wall socket. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install a telephone wall socket in a wet location. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

Servicing the machine 1

DO NOT attempt to service this machine yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage points and other risks and may void your warranty. Call your Brother dealer or Brother Customer Service.

If the machine has been dropped or the casing has been damaged, unplug this machine from the power socket and call your Brother dealer or Brother Customer Service. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

If the machine becomes unusually hot, releases smoke, generates any strong smells, or if you accidentally spill any liquid on it, immediately unplug the machine from the electrical socket. Call your Brother dealer or Brother Customer Service.

If the machine does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the machine to normal operation.
