WARNING

Basic precautions



To prevent accidents and problems, do not modify

the machine yourself. Brother will not be held

responsible for any accidents or problems

resulting from modifications made to the machine.

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

Otherwise, it may cause electric shocks.

Installation



Do not set up the printer in a dusty environment. If

dust collects inside the printer, it may cause fire or

electric shocks or problems with correct operation.



Be sure to connect the ground. If the ground

connection is not secure, you run a high risk of

receiving a serious electric shock, and problems

with correct operation may also occur.

Do not bend the cords excessively or fasten them

too hard with staples or anything similar to secure

cords. Otherwise it may cause fire or electric

shocks.

Printing

If a foreign object gets inside the printer,

immediately turn off the power, disconnect the

power cord, and contact the place of purchase or a

qualified technician. If you continue to use the

printer while there is a foreign object inside, it may

result in fire or electric shocks or problems with

correct operation.

Do not allow the printer to come into contact with

liquids. Otherwise it may cause fire or electric

shocks or problems with correct operation.

If any liquid gets inside the printer, immediately

turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, and

contact the place of purchase or a qualified

technician.

Do not use the printer when smoke or a bad odor

is coming from the printer. Otherwise it may cause

fire or electric shocks or problems with correct

operation. Immediately turn off the power,

disconnect the power cord, and contact the place

of purchase or a qualified technician.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Printing

Keep your finger or any body part away from the

rotating fan. Otherwise it will be caught up, which

results in injuries.

Turn off the power when you approach the fan.

CAUTION

Environmental requirements

Use the printer in a place which is adequately

ventilated. A slight odor is generated when the

printed articles are being fixed by heat.

Installation

Setting up and moving of the printer should only be

carried out by a qualified technician.

The printer machine weighs 171 kg (376 lb) (main

body 128 kg (282 lb) + lower unit 43 kg (94 lb)).

Transporting and setting up of the printer should

be held in the proper way. Otherwise it may fall

down and cause injury.

When the printer falls down, disconnect the power

cord and contact the place of purchase or a

qualified technician. If you continue to use it, it may

result in fire or electric shocks or poor printing

quality.

Do not place the printer on a shaky table or high

shelf or other unstable location. Otherwise it may

tip over or fall down and cause injury. For

information on the table that supports the printer,

contact the dealer.

Do not set up the printer in a place where it will be

affected by vibration. Otherwise the printing quality

may be degraded or the printer may fall down,

which causes injury or results in failure of the

printer.

Do not connect the power cord until installation is

complete. The printer may operate if the power is

turned on by mistake, which could result in injury.

Do not climb onto the printer or place heavy

objects on top of it. Otherwise it may become

unbalanced and tip over or fall down and cause

injury.

Be careful not to touch the claws of the mounting

portion on the upper side of the rear cover.

Otherwise you may be injured.

Printing

This printer should only be used by operators who

are appropriately trained in its safe operation.

CAUTION

Printing

Ensure there is adequate space left in front of the

printer and avoid placing any objects. Otherwise

your hand may get caught between the platen and

an object, which may result in injury.

Do not handle the platen while printing. If your

hand gets caught between the platen or the T-shirt

tray and the covers, it may be injured.

Do not put your hands inside the covers while the

printer’s power is turned on. Otherwise your hands

may touch against moving parts and this may

result in injury.

When the pretreatment is applied to printed

objects (like a T-shirt) with a spray or pretreatment

applicator, sprayed mist is generated. So wear a

pair of plastic gloves, a mask and protective

glasses (or goggles) designed to shield against

liquid splash, and fully take care of the air

ventilation when you are working with it.

When a problem occurs with the operation of the

printer, contact the place of purchase or a qualified

technician.

Maintenance

Be careful not to get your fingers caught when

closing the front cover, otherwise it may result in

injury to your fingers.

When you mount or replace the head, be careful

not to get your hands or fingers caught. Otherwise

you may be injured.

Do not drink liquids such as the ink, maintenance

solution, cleaning solution, pretreatment, or waste.

They may cause diarrhea or vomiting.

Avoid causing your eyes or skin to make contact

with the ink, maintenance solution, cleaning

solution, pretreatment or waste. It may cause

inflammation. In case of contact with eyes, do not

rub but immediately rinse the eyes with water.

Keep the liquids out of the reach of children.

Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves

when handling the grease, so that it does not get

into your eyes or onto your skin.

It can cause inflammation. Do not drink or eat the

grease. It may cause diarrhea or vomiting.

Keep the liquids out of the reach of children.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Maintenance

When replacing parts and installing optional

accessories, be sure to use only genuine Brother

parts. Brother will not be held responsible for any

accidents or problems resulting from the use of

non-genuine parts.

When replacing parts or installing optional

accessories, be sure to follow the procedures

described in the Instruction Manual. Incorrect

procedures could cause injuries or problems.

IMPORTANT

Printing



Do not move the platen by hand. Otherwise the

printer may be mechanically and electrically

damaged.

Ensure there is adequate space left in front of the

printer and avoid placing any objects. The platen

may be hit and damaged.

NOTE

Use the printer in an area which is free from

sources of strong electrical noise such as electrical

line noise or static electric noise. Sources of strong

electrical noise may cause problems with correct

operation.

Any fluctuations in the power supply voltage should

be within ±10% of the rated voltage for the printer.

Voltage fluctuations which are greater than this

may cause problems with correct operation.

The power supply capacity should be greater than

the requirements for the printer’s power

consumption. Insufficient power supply capacity

may cause problems with correct operation.

In the event of an electrical storm, turn off the

power and disconnect the power cord from the wall

outlet. Lightning may cause problems with correct

operation.
