Safety Information
IMPORTANT - For Your Safety
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power 
outlet/socket which is properly grounded/earthed through the normal standard wiring. 
Extension cords should not be used with the equipment. If it is essential that an extension cord has to be used, it 
must be a three-pin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding/earthing. Incorrectly wired extension 
cords may cause personal injury and equipment damage.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded/earthed and that the 
installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding/earthing of the power, 
call a qualified electrician. 
This product 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. If you are not sure, contact a qualified electrician.
Disconnect device
This printer must be installed near an AC power outlet/socket that is easily accessible. In case of emergencies, you 
must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet/socket to shut off the power completely.

Installing and Relocating your Printer
Do not place the printer in a hot, humid, dusty, or poorly ventilated environment. Prolonged 
exposure to such adverse conditions can cause fire or electric shocks.
Do not place the printer near heaters or volatile, flammable, or combustible materials, such 
as curtains.
Place the printer on a level, sturdy surface that can withstand the printers weight. Failure 
to do so could cause the printer to fall, resulting in injuries.
To prevent injuries, this printer should be lifted by at least two people.Warning alerts you to situations that could result in serious injury or death.
Caution alerts you to situations that could cause injury or material damage.

							 xvii   
To lift the printer, face the front of the printer and grip the recessed areas at the bottom left 
and right with both hands. Never try to lift the printer by gripping any other areas. Lifting the 
printer by gripping other areas can cause the printer to fall, resulting in injuries.
When lifting the printer, get a firm footing and bend your knees to avoid possible injuries to 
your back.
The printer has ventilation grills on the side and at the back of the machine. Ensure that the 
printer is installed no less than 150 mm (5.9 in.) from the wall on the right, 100 mm (3.9 in.) 
from the wall on the left, and 200 mm (7.8 in.) from the wall at the back. A poorly ventilated 
printer can cause excessive internal heat to build up and result in fire. 
The diagram below shows the minimum clearances required for normal operation, 
consumables replacement, and maintenance ensuring that your printer operates at peak 
performance.
When moving the printer, be sure to unplug the power cord from the AC power 
outlet/socket. Moving the printer with the power cord connected can damage the power 
cord, which could result in a fire or an electric shock.
When moving the printer, do not tilt it at more than the angles shown in the diagram below. 
If tilted excessively, the printer may fall, resulting in injuries.
After installing the optional tray module, lock down the brakes of the casters at the front of 
the tray module. Failure to lock down the brakes can cause the printer to move 
unexpectedly, resulting in injuries.

■Use the printer in a place that meets the following requirements: 
Ambient temperature range of 10 to 32 °C (50.0 to 89.6 °F), relative humidity of 15 to 85% (no 
condensation) 
When using the printer at an ambient temperature of 32 °C (89.6 °F), the relative humidity should not 
exceed 65%. When the relative humidity reaches 85%, the ambient temperature should not exceed 
28 °C (82.4 °F).
■Do not place the printer in a room where there are sudden fluctuations in temperature 
and do not move the printer from a cold place to a warm humid place. If you do, 
condensation may occur inside the printer and deteriorate print quality.
■Do not place the printer in direct sunlight, as this may damage the printer.
■When moving the printer, do not remove the toner cartridges, leave them locked in 
place. Loose toner can spill inside the printer and deteriorate print quality.
■Do not place the printer directly next to an air conditioner or heater, as this affects the 
temperature inside the printer and can cause damage.
■Do not use the printer when it is tilted at an angle of more than 5 degrees, as this may 
result in damage.
Precautions for Power and Grounded/Earthed Connections
Use the printer within the specified power range.
AC power:100-127 V AC ± 10% (90 V-140 V) or 220-240 V AC ± 10% (198 V-264 V)
Frequency: 50 ± 3Hz/60 ± 3Hz
Ensure that the power cord connector and AC power outlet/socket are free of dust. In a 
damp environment, a contaminated connector can, over time, draw non-negligible amounts 
of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire.
Do not attempt to modify, pull, bend, chafe, or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not 
place objects on the power cord. A damaged power cord can cause fire or electric shock.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands. This constitutes an electric shock hazard.
Operating Environment
 WARNING
 
						

							 xix   
In the following situations, stop using the printer immediately, turn it off, and disconnect the 
power cord from the AC power outlet/socket. After that, call your dealer or Brother 
Customer Service immediately. Continued use of the printer in such situations could result 
in fire:
■There is smoke emanating from the printer or the outside of the printer is excessively 
hot.
■Unusual noises are coming from the printer.
■There is water inside the printer.
To prevent fire or electric shocks, connect the AC power cord to a grounded/earthed AC 
power outlet/socket.For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding/earthing 
of the power, call a qualified electrician.
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, stop using the printer 
immediately, turn it off, and disconnect the AC power cord from the AC power outlet/socket. 
After that, call your dealer or Brother Customer Service. Using a damaged cord can cause 
fire or an electric shock.
Do not plug or unplug the printer when it is on. Unplugging a live connector can deform the 
plug and cause fire.
When unplugging the printer, grasp the plug instead of the power cord. Forcibly pulling the 
AC power cord can damage it and cause a fire or an electric shock.
Be sure to turn off and unplug the printer before accessing the interior of the printer for 
cleaning, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Accessing the interior of a live printer can result 
in electric shock.
Once a month, turn off the printer and check the power cord for the following.
■The power cord is plugged firmly into the AC power outlet.
■The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent.
■The plug and outlet are dust free.
■The cord is not cracked or frayed.
If you notice any unusual conditions, call your dealer or Brother Customer Service for 
assistance.
When the printer is not used over an extended period of time, it is advisable to unplug the 
printer.
Switch off the printer before connecting the interface cable or options. Connecting the 
interface cable or options to a live printer can cause electric shocks.
