Choosing a location A

WARNING

Choose a location where the temperature remains between 50°F and 90°F (10°C and 32°C),

the humidity is between 20% to 80%, and where there is no condensation.

DO NOT expose the product to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses,

moisture or dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical shock, short circuit or fire. It may

also damage the product and/or render it inoperable.

DO NOT place the product near heaters, air conditioners, electrical fans, refrigerators, or water.

Doing so may create the risk of an electrical shock, short circuit or fire, as water may come into

contact with the product (including condensation caused by heating/air conditioning/ventilation

equipment).

DO NOT place the product near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be spilled on it.

Should chemicals come into contact with the product, 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 product to malfunction or become

discolored.

DO NOT put the product in a location that blocks or obstructs any slot or opening in the product.

These slots and openings are provided for ventilation. Blocking the product’s ventilation could

create a risk of overheating and/or fire.

Instead:

• Keep a minimum gap around the product as shown in the illustration.

• Place the product on a solid level surface.

• DO NOT place this product near or over a radiator or heater.

• DO NOT place this product in a “built-in” installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.

DO install your product near an AC power outlet that is easily accessible. In the event of an

emergency, easy access to the plug and outlet will allow you to shut off power to the product

quickly and completely.

Plastic bags are used in the packing of your product. Plastic bags are not toys. To avoid the

danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children and dispose of them

properly.

CAUTION

DO NOT place any objects around the product. Such objects block the access to the power

outlet in case of emergency. It is important that the product can be unplugged whenever

needed.

The product may generate odorous gas such as ozone if used for a large volume of printing or

used in a poorly ventilated room for long hours. In addition, the product emits some chemical

substances during the printing. Ensure adequate ventilation for the product to avoid discomfort

or injury.

Avoid placing your product in a busy area. If you must place it in a busy area, ensure that the

product is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally knocked over, which could cause

injury to you or others and serious damage to the product. Also ensure that cords are secured

so as not to pose a tripping hazard.

DO NOT place heavy objects on the product.

DO NOT place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table, particularly if children are

expected to be near the product. The product is heavy and may fall, causing injury to you or

others and serious damage to the product. For the products with scanning function, there is an

added risk of injury if the scanner glass should break.

Put your product on a flat, level, stable surface (such as a desk), that is free from vibration and

shocks. Put the product near a telephone wall jack (MFC only) and a standard grounded AC

power outlet.

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 product 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 product's

electronic components.

• DO NOT connect your product to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic

timers. DO NOT connect your product to the same circuit as a large appliance or other

equipment that requires a significant amount of electricity to operate (such as an air

conditioner, copier, or shredder). Operating this product in conjunction with other products that

require a significant amount of electricity to operate could disrupt the power supply or create

an overvoltage, tripping your circuit breaker or blowing your fuse. Disruption of the power

supply also may delete information from the product's memory, and repeated cycling of the

power supply can damage the product.

To use the product safely A

Please keep these instructions for later reference and read them before attempting any

maintenance. If you do not follow these safety instructions, there is a possibility of a fire, electrical

shock, burn or suffocation.

WARNING

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 product. Before you access the inside of the

product, including for routine maintenance such as cleaning, make sure you have unplugged the

telephone line cord first (MFC only) and then the power cord from the AC power outlet, as well

as any telephone (RJ-11) (MFC only) or Ethernet (RJ-45) cables (Network models only) from

the product. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, since they

may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts.

Unplug the power plug regularly to clean it. Use a dry cloth to clean the root of the plug blades

and between the blades. If the power plug is plugged into the outlet over a long period, dust

accumulates around the plug blades, which may cause a short circuit resulting in a fire.

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

Always make sure the plug is fully inserted. DO NOT use the product or handle the cord if the

cord has become worn or frayed.

If the product has been dropped or the casing has been damaged, there may be the possibility

of an electric shock. Unplug the product from the AC power outlet and contact Brother

Authorized Service Personnel.

DO NOT allow this product to come into contact with water. This product should not be used

around standing water, including a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool; around appliances

containing water, including a refrigerator; or in a wet basement.

If water, other liquids, or metal objects get inside the product, immediately unplug the product

from the AC power outlet and contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

DO NOT dismantle this product. Dismantling this product could cause a fire or electric shock.

alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the product. Doing so could cause a fire or

electrical shock. Instead, use only a dry, lint-free cloth.

DO NOT attempt to operate this product when a paper jam or stray pieces of paper are inside

the product. Prolonged contact of paper with the fuser unit could cause a fire.

DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner to clean up scattered toner. Doing this might cause the toner

dust to ignite inside the vacuum cleaner, potentially starting a fire. Please carefully clean the

toner dust with a dry, lint-free soft cloth and dispose of it according to local regulations.
