Brother™ Two Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service

(USA Only)

Who is covered:

• This limited warranty ("warranty") is given only to the original end-use/retail purchaser

(referred to in this warranty as "Original Purchaser") of the accompanying product, consumables and accessories (collectively referred to in this warranty as "this Product").

• If you purchased a product from someone other than an authorized Brother reseller in

the United States or if the product was used (including but not limited to floor models or refurbished product by someone other than Brother), prior to your purchase you are not the Original Purchaser and the product that you purchased is not covered by this warranty.

What is covered:

• This Product includes a Machine and Consumable and Accessory Items. Consumable

and Accessory Items may include but are not limited to label and tape rolls/cassettes, cutters, adaptor, carrying cases, batteries and print servers. Except as otherwise provided herein, Brother warrants that the Machine and the accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, when used under normal conditions.

• This warranty applies only to products purchased and used in the United States. For

products purchased in, but used outside, the United States, this warranty covers only warranty service within the United States (and does not include shipping outside the United States).

What is the length of the Warranty Periods:

• Machines: two year from the original purchase date.

• Accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items: 90 days from the original purchase

date or the rated life of consumable, whichever comes first.

What is NOT covered:

This warranty does not cover: (1) Physical damage to this Product; (2) Damage caused by improper installation, improper or abnormal use, misuse, neglect or

accident (including but not limited to transporting this Product without the proper preparation and/or packaging);

(3) Damage caused by another device or software used with this Product (including but not

limited to damage resulting from use of non Brother™brand parts and Consumable and

Accessory Items); (4) Consumable and Accessory Items that expired in accordance with a rated life; and, (5) Problems arising from other than defects in materials or workmanship. This limited warranty is VOID if this Product has been altered or modified in any way (including but not limited to attempted warranty repair without authorization from Brother and/or alteration/removal of the serial number).

What to do if you think your Product is eligible for warranty service:

Report your issue to our Customer Service Hotline at 1-877-BROTHER (1-877-276-

8437) or to a Brother Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period. Supply Brother or the Brother Authorized Service Center with a copy of your dated bill of sale showing that this Product was purchased within the U.S.. For the name of local Brother Authorized Service Center(s), call 1-877-BROTHER (1-877-276-8437) or visit www.brother-usa.com.

What Brother will ask you to do:

After contacting Brother or a Brother Authorized Service Center, you may be required to deliver (by hand if you prefer) or send the Product properly packaged, freight prepaid, to the Authorized Service Center together with a photocopy of your bill of sale.

You are responsible for the cost of shipping, packing product, and insurance (if you desire). You are also responsible for loss or damage to this Product in shipping.

What Brother will do:

If the problem reported concerning your Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items is covered by this warranty and if you first reported the problem to Brother or an Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period, Brother or its Authorized Service Center will repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items at no charge to you for parts or labor. The decision as to whether to repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items is made by Brother in its sole discretion. Brother reserves the right to supply a refurbished or remanufactured replacement Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items and use refurbished parts provided such replacement products conform to the manufacturer's specifications for new product/parts. The repaired or replacement Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be returned to you freight prepaid or made available for you to pick up at a conveniently located Authorized Service Center. If the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items are not covered by this warranty (either stage), you will be charged for shipping the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items back to you and charged for any service and/or replacement parts/products at Brother's then current published rates.

The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and exclusive remedies under this warranty.

What happens when Brother elects to replace your Machine:

When a replacement Machine is authorized by Brother, and you have delivered the Machine to an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized Service Center will provide you with a replacement Machine after receiving one from Brother. If you are dealing directly with Brother, Brother will send to you a replacement Machine with the understanding that you will, after receipt of the replacement Machine, supply the required proof of purchase information, together with the Machine that Brother agreed to replace. You are then expected to pack the Machine that Brother agreed to replace in the package from the replacement Machine and return it to Brother using the pre-paid freight bill supplied by Brother in accordance with the instructions provided by Brother. Since you will be in possession of two machines, Brother will require that you provide a valid major credit card number. Brother will issue a hold against the credit card account number that you provide until Brother receives your original Product and determines that your original Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit card will be charged up to the cost of a new Product only if: (i) you do not return your original Product to Brother within five (5) business days; (ii) the problems with your original Product are not covered by the limited warranty; (iii) the proper packaging instructions are not followed and has caused damage to the product; or (iv) the warranty period on your original Product has expired or has not been sufficiently validated with a copy of the proof of purchase (bill of sale). The replacement Machine you receive (even if refurbished or remanufactured) will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the replacement Machine that is sent to you and your original Machine shall become the property of Brother.

General Precautions

The Machine

• The machine is a precision machine. Do not drop, hit or otherwise bang the machine.

• Do not lift the machine by the DK Roll compartment cover. The cover could come off and

the machine could fall and become damaged.

• Do not insert any objects into or block the label output slot, USB port, Serial port or LAN

port.

• Use only the interface cable (USB cable) included with the machine.

• When not in use for an extended period, remove the DK Roll from the machine.

• Do not attempt to print labels while the DK Roll cover is open.

DK Roll (DK Label and DK Tape)

• Use only genuine Brother accessories and supplies (with , marks). Do not use any

unauthorized accessories or supplies.

• If the label is attached to a wet, dirty, or oily surface, it may peel off easily. Before

applying the label, clean the surface to which the label will be applied.

• DK Rolls use thermal paper or film that can fade in color or peel off surfaces if exposed

to ultraviolet light, wind or rain.

• Do not expose the DK Rolls to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or dust.

Store in a cool, dark place. Use the DK Rolls soon after opening the package.

• Scratching the printed surface of the label with your finger nails or metal objects, or

touching the printed surface with hands dampened by water or sweat can cause the color to change or fade.

• Do not apply labels to any persons, animals, or plants. In addition, never apply labels to

public or private property without permission.

• As the end of the DK Roll is designed to not adhere to the label spool, the last label may

not be cut properly. If this happens, remove the remaining labels, insert a new DK Roll, and reprint the last label. Note: To account for this, the number of DK Labels included on each DK Roll may be more than indicated on the package.

• When a label is removed after being applied to a surface, a portion of the label may

remain.

• Prior to using CD/DVD labels, be sure to follow the instructions in your CD/DVD player's

instruction guide regarding applying CD/DVD labels.

• Do not use CD/DVD labels in a slot loading CD/DVD player, for example a CD player in

a car where the CD is slid into a slot in the CD player.

• Do not peel off the CD/DVD label once it is applied to the CD/DVD, a thin surface layer

may come off, resulting in damage to the disk.

• Do not apply CD/DVD labels to CD/DVD disks designed for use with ink jet printers.

Labels peel off these disks easily and using disks with peeled labels can result in loss or damage of data.

• When applying CD/DVD labels, use the applicator included with the CD/DVD label rolls.

Failure to do so could cause damage to the CD/DVD player.

• Users shall take full responsibility for applying CD/DVD labels. Brother accepts no

responsibility for any loss or damage of data caused by the inappropriate use of CD/DVD labels.

• Be careful not to drop the DK Roll.

• DK Rolls use thermal paper and thermal film. Both the label and print will fade with

sunlight and heat. Do not use DK Rolls for outdoor use that requires durability.

• Depending on the area, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel or

become irremovable, or the color of the label may change or be transferred to other objects. Before applying the label, check the environmental conditions and the material. Test the label by affixing a small piece of it to an inconspicuous area of the intended surface.

CD-ROM and Software

• Do not scratch or subject the CD-ROM to high or low temperatures.

• Do not put heavy objects on the CD-ROM or apply force to the CD-ROM.

• The software contained on the CD-ROM is meant for use with this machine only. See the

License on the CD-ROM for details. This software may be installed on multiple computers for use in an office, etc.
