Compilation and Publication1
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 location1
Put your machine on a flat, level, stable surface that is free from 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 and 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 fans, 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
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.
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 in a “built-in” installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.
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
correctly.
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.

IMPORTANT
• 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 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.

or Ethernet (RJ-45) (Network models only) cables from the machine.
DO NOT push objects of any kind into this machine through slots or openings in the cabinet, as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts.
