WARNING

• The machine must be fitted with an earthed

plug.

• Since the machine is grounded through the

power outlet, you can protect yourself from

potentially hazardous electrical conditions on

the telephone network by keeping the power

cord connected to your machine when you

connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you

can protect yourself when you want to move

your machine by disconnecting the telephone

line first and then the power cord.

bLift the scanner cover until it locks securely into

the open position.

cConnect the telephone line cord.

NOTE

• If you do not plan to use the fax feature on this

machine, go to step 3on page 3.

• To prolong the life of the print head, provide the

best ink cartridge economy and maintain print

quality, we do not recommend unplugging the

machine frequently and/or leaving the machine

unplugged for extended periods of time. Each

time you plug the machine in, it automatically

cleans the print head, which uses some of your

ink.

We recommend using to power down the

machine. Using allows minimal power to

the machine, resulting in periodic, but less

frequent, cleaning of the print head.

IMPORTANT

The telephone line cord MUST be connected to

the socket marked LINE on the machine.

CAUTION

If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with water at

once and call a doctor if you are concerned.

arrow on the label.

marked “PUSH” until the cartridge lever lifts.

After all the ink cartridges are installed, close

Make sure that the triangular marks con the

paper width guides aand paper length

IMPORTANT

After initial installation of the ink cartridges, the

machine will start cleaning the ink tube system.

This cleaning process will last approximately four

minutes.

DO NOT unplug the machine from the power

outlet or attempt to stop the cleaning process.

Interruption of cleaning process may cause

undesired print quality problems.

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not

need to replace them. If you do so, it may

reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not

know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the

cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the

cartridge.

• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the

machine and use it up within six months of

installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by

the expiration date written on the cartridge

package.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink

cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of

the cartridge.

• Brother multifunction machines are designed to

work with ink of a particular specification and

will work to a level of optimum performance

when used with genuine Brother branded ink

cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this

optimum performance if ink or ink cartridges of

other specifications are used. Brother does not

therefore recommend the use of cartridges

other than genuine Brother branded cartridges

with this machine or the refilling of empty

cartridges with ink from other sources. If

damage is caused to the print head or other

parts of this machine as a result of using

incompatible products with this machine, any

repairs required as a result may not be covered

by the warranty.
