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 50°F and 95°F (10°C and 35°C) 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).

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

DO NOT place the machine near chemicals. Should the chemicals come into contact with the
machine, there may be a risk of fire. The chemicals may also cause the machine to malfunction
or become discolored.

Plastic bags are used in the packing of your machine. 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 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, or table. 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 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.

• 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.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

Failure to follow the warnings in this section may create the risk of an electrical shock. In
addition, you could create an electrical short, which may create the risk of a fire.

There are high-voltage electrodes inside the machine. Before you access the inside of the

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.
