This printer may interfere with radio or television reception, causing flickering or distortion. This can be 
determined by turning the printer off and on. To correct interference, perform one or a combination of the 
following procedures:
■Move the printer away from a TV and/or radio.
■Reposition the printer, TV and/or radio.
■If the printer, TV and/or radio are plugged to the same AC power outlet/socket, unplug them, then 
plug them into different outlets/sockets.
■Reposition the TV and/or radio antennas and cables until the interference stops. For external 
antennas, call your local electrician.
■Use coaxial cables with radio and television antennas.
Operating Precautions
Do not place any liquid containers such as vases or coffee cups on the printer. Liquids split 
on the printer can cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not place any metal parts such as staples or clips on the printer. If metal or flammable 
materials get into the printer, they can short circuit internal components and cause a fire or 
electric shocks.
If debris (metal or liquid) gets into the printer, turn off and unplug the printer. After that, call 
your dealer or Brother Customer Service immediately. Operating a debris-contaminated 
printer can cause a fire or electric shocks.
Never open or remove printer covers that are secured with screws unless specifically 
instructed to do so in this guide. High-voltage components can cause electric shocks.
Do not try to alter the printers structure or modify any parts. Unauthorized modifications can 
cause fire.
This printer complies with the IEC60825 (Class 1) international laser standard. This means 
that the printer does not present any risk of injury to individuals from laser radiation. Various 
covers confine the laser radiation to the inside of the printer; hence, users cannot incur 
injury from the laser under normal operating conditions. Removing covers, unless 
instructed to do so in this guide, can cause injury from laser radiation.

 WARNING
 
						

							 xxi   
Never touch an area indicated by a high-temperature warning label (on or near the fuser 
unit). Touching these areas may result in burns.
If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the fuser or rollers, do not use excessive force to 
remove it so as to avoid injuries or burns. Turn off the printer immediately and call your 
dealer or Brother Customer Service.
Do not place any heavy objects on the printer. An off-balance printer can fall over or the 
heavy object can fall, resulting in injuries.
Do not use highly flammable sprays or solvents in or around the printer, as this can result 
in fire.
When removing paper jams, make sure that no pieces of paper are left inside the printer, 
as this can cause fire.
If the paper is wrapped around the fuser or roller, or you cannot see the jam that you are 
trying to clear, do not attempt to remove the paper by yourself, as this may result in injuries 
or burns. Turn off the printer immediately and call your dealer or Brother Customer Service.
Do not place magnetic objects near the safety switch of the printer. Magnets can activate 
the printer accidentally, resulting in injuries.
Refer to this guide for procedures on clearing paper jams and how to resolve any other problems that 
may occur.

Notes on Handling Consumables
Never put a toner cartridge into an open flame. It can explode, resulting in injuries.
Never put a transfer roll cartridge into an open flame. It can explode, resulting in injuries.
Never put a print head cartridge into an open flame. It can explode, resulting in injuries.
■Do not open consumables until you are ready to use them. Do not store consumables in the following 
conditions:
■Hot or humid areas
■Near a naked/open flame
■Exposed to direct sunlight
■Dusty areas
■Before using consumables, read the instructions and precautions provided with the 
consumables.
■Administer emergency first aid as follows:
■Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for a minimum of 15 minutes, and seek medical 
advice.
■Skin contact: Wash material off skin with plenty of soap and water.
■Inhalation: remove person to fresh air, and seek medical attention.
■Ingestion: If toner is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice.
■When you remove the transfer roll cartridge from the printer because the waste toner collection box 
is full, do not attempt to empty the waste toner box and reuse the cartridge, as toner may spill inside 
the printer and cause damage. Loose toner can spill inside the printer and deteriorate print quality.
■Do not tilt or shake the print head cartridges or transfer roll cartridges when removing them 
temporarily. Loose toner can spill inside the printer and deteriorate print quality.

Determining values
From the lines to the right of the Y (yellow), M (magenta), and C (cyan) pattern, find the values of the 
straightest lines.
You can also use the densest colors of the grid to find the straightest lines. The colors printed at the 
highest density are those next to the straightest lines.
If 0 is the value nearest the straightest line, you do not need to adjust the color registration. If the value 
is not 0, follow the steps outlined in Entering Values on page 1-3.
