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 of vibration and shocks, such as a

desk. Put the machine near a standard grounded electrical socket. Choose a location where the

temperature remains between 41F and 95F (5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, corrosive gasses,

moisture or dust.

DO NOT place your machine on a carpet or rug, as this will expose it to dust. Doing so 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, electric fans, refrigerators, radiators,

or water. Doing so may create the risk of a short circuit or fire should water come into contact

with the machine (including condensation from heating, air conditioning, and/or ventilation

equipment that may be sufficient to create a short circuit or fire).

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.

The product should be placed so as not to come into contact with any wall or other device.

Otherwise, it 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.

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.

Make sure that no part of the machine protrudes from the desk or stand where the machine is

located. In particular, do not leave the output tray open when the machine is located on the edge

of a table, stand, etc. Make sure that the machine is located on a flat, level, and stable surface

free from vibration. Failure to observe these precautions could cause the machine to fall,

causing injury to you and serious damage to the machine.

Important

• 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 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.

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 Ethernet (RJ-45) (ADS-2500W 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.

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

Personnel.

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.

This machine should be connected to an AC power source within the range indicated on the

rating label. DO NOT connect it to a DC power source or inverter. Doing this might cause an

electrical shock. If you are not sure what kind of power source you have, contact a qualified

electrician.

Power Cord Safety:

• This machine is equipped with a 3-wire grounded plug. This plug will only fit into a grounded

power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, call

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. DO NOT defeat the purpose of the grounded

plug.

• Use only the power cord supplied with this product.

• 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 strain is otherwise

put on the cord, as it may become worn or frayed.

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

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 disassemble or modify the machine, otherwise fire or electric shock may result. If the

machine requires repair, contact the place of purchase or Brother authorized service personnel.

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

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.

This product was packaged in a plastic bag. To avoid suffocation, keep such plastic bag away

from babies and children. Do not use the bag in cribs, beds, carriages or play pens. The bag

is not a toy.

CAUTION

Wait until pages have exited the machine before picking them out. Otherwise, you could cause

injury to your fingers by trapping them in a roller.

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

by pinching them.

DO NOT touch the shaded area shown below when the top cover is open. Doing this may cause

injury to your fingers by pinching them.

Be careful when touching the Separation Pad and its surrounding area in the machine.

Otherwise, you could cause injury to you and serious damage to the machine.

DO NOT carry the machine by holding the top cover. Doing this may cause the machine to slip

out of your hands. Only carry the machine by placing your hands under the entire machine.

Use caution when operating the machine to prevent clothing (particularly sleeves, neckties,

etc.), hair, or accessories from being drawn into the machine, otherwise injury may result. In the

event that an object is drawn into the machine, immediately disconnect the machine from the

power source.

Important

• Disruption of power can wipe out information in the machine’s memory.

• DO NOT put objects on top of the machine.

• If the machine does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed, adjust

only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage or minor exposure to electromagnetic waves and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the machine to normal operation.

• A distinct change in the machine’s performance may indicate a need for service.

• Lightning and power surges can damage this machine. We recommend that you use a quality

surge protection device on the AC power line and any Ethernet (RJ-45) (ADS-2500W only)

cable plugged into the machine, or that you unplug the cords during a lightning storm.

• (ADS-2500W only)

DO NOT touch the Touchscreen immediately after plugging in the power cord or turning on the

machine. Doing this may cause an error.
