Compilation and Publication 1

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 location 1

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 50F and 95F (10C and 35C) and the

humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).

WARNING

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).

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.

CAUTION

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.

To use the machine safely 1

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 machine. Before you access the inside of the

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

the power cord from the AC power outlet, as well as any telephone (RJ-11) (MFC models only)

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.

DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands.

Always make sure the plug is fully inserted.

DO NOT continue using the machine if it has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

Instead, unplug the machine from the power outlet and contact Brother Authorized Service

Personnel immediately.

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

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

DO NOT connect the machine to a DC power source or inverter. If you are not sure what kind

of power source you have, contact a qualified electrician.

Power Cord Safety:

• DO NOT pull on the middle of the AC power cord; pulling on the middle may cause the cord

to separate from the plug. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

• DO NOT allow anything to rest on the power cord.

• DO NOT place this machine where people can walk on the cord.

• DO NOT place this machine in a position where the cord is stretched or strained, as it may

become worn or frayed.

• DO NOT use the machine or handle the cord if the cord has become worn or frayed. If

unplugging your machine, DO NOT touch the damaged/frayed part.

• Brother strongly recommends that you DO NOT use any type of extension cord.

DO NOT use this product during an electrical storm.

(MFC models only)

Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has

been unplugged at the wall jack. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never

install a telephone wall jack in a wet location.

FIRE HAZARDS

Failure to follow the warnings in this section may create the risk of a fire.

DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray or an organic solvent/liquid that contains

alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Doing this may cause a risk

of fire or electrical shock.

DO NOT use this machine in the vicinity of combustible dust.

For users with pacemakers

This machine generates a weak magnetic field. If you feel anything wrong with the operation of

your pacemakers when near the machine, move away from the machine and consult a doctor

immediately.

CAUTION

DO NOT sit or stand on the machine or use it for any purpose beyond its intended purpose.

If the machine becomes hot, releases smoke, or generates any strong smells, immediately

unplug the machine from the AC power outlet. Call Brother Customer Service.

Wait until pages have exited the machine before picking them up. Failure to do this may cause

injury to your fingers by trapping them in a roller.

(MFC-J4710DW)

If the lower tray has been expanded to hold large paper such as Ledger, A3 or Legal size paper,

position the machine so that the tray will not protrude past the edge of the table or desk. When

the lower tray is expanded, it will protrude from the machine. Therefore, if someone hits the tray,

the machine could fall and cause injury.

DO NOT put your hands on the edge of the machine. Doing this may cause injury to your fingers

by pinching them.

(MFC-J4710DW)

When changing the lower tray size from the Ledger, A3 or Legal size to the original size, be

careful not to pinch your fingers in the gaps or slots in the bottom of the tray. It may cause injury

to you.

DO NOT touch the area shaded in the illustration. Doing this may cause injury to your fingers by

cutting them on the edge of the machine.

DO NOT carry the machine by holding the scanner cover, the Jam Clear Cover, the manual feed

slot cover, or the control panel. Doing this may cause the machine to slip out of your hands.

Carry the machine by sliding your hands into the handhold indentations located on each side of

the machine.

(MFC-J4710DW)

DO NOT carry the machine by holding the lower tray when it is installed. The lower tray could

fall and cause injury to you.

(MFC-J4710DW)

When carrying the machine, remove the lower tray if it has been expanded to hold large paper

such as Ledger, A3 or Legal size paper. The weight of the paper could cause the lower tray to

fall and cause injury to you.

Do not remove the serial number and instruction labels that are affixed to the machine.
