Choose a safe location for your product 1
Put your product on a flat, level, stable surface, such as a desk, that is free from vibration and
shocks and is not slanted more than 2. Put the product near a standard earthed electrical socket.
Choose a location where the temperature remains between 18C and 33C and the humidity is
between 20% to 80% (without condensation).
WARNING
DO NOT expose the product to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses,
moisture or dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical shock, electrical short or fire. It may
also damage the product and/or render it inoperable.
DO NOT place the product 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
product (including condensation caused by heating/air conditioning/ventilation equipment).
DO NOT place the product near chemicals or in a place where chemical spillage could occur. In
particular organic solvents or liquids may cause the casing and/or cables to melt or dissolve,
risking fire or electric shock. They may also cause the product to malfunction or become
discoloured.

4
DO NOT put the product in a location where any slot or opening in the product is obstructed or
blocked. These slots and openings are provided for ventilation. Blocking the product’s
ventilation could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.
Instead:
• Keep a gap of roughly 330 mm between the ventilation hole and the wall.
• Place the product on a solid surface. DO NOT place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar soft surface.
• DO NOT place this product in a “built-in” installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.
CAUTION
Avoid placing your product in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic area, ensure
that the product is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally knocked-over, which could
cause injury to you and serious damage to the product. Also ensure that cords are secured so
as not to pose a tripping hazard.
DO NOT connect your product to electrical sockets controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers, or to the same circuit as large appliances, such as an air conditioner, copier, shredder,
etc. that might disrupt the power supply.
DO NOT place heavy objects on the product. DO NOT place this product on an unstable cart,
stand, or table. The product is heavy and may fall, causing injury to you, and serious damage to
the product. Particularly if the product is located in an area used by children, ensure it is in a
safe and stable position.

5
Important
• DO NOT put objects on top of the product. Doing so could increase the risk of overheating
and/or fire should the product malfunction.
• DO NOT place your product 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 product’s
electronic components.
• DO NOT place the machine on more than 2tilted/slanted surface. When lifting or moving the
machine after the ink cartridge is installed, try to keep the machine as level as possible and do
not keep the machine tilted for a long time. Tilting the machine may cause ink spillage and
internal damage to the machine.
• Disruption of power can delete information from the product’s memory.
• If there is a power failure or the power cord of the machine is left unplugged for a long period
of time, set the date and time again after the power is restored. If the date and time are not set,
the product’s automatic cleaning function will not work properly and print quality may decrease.

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

all four stabilizer support legs are adjusted and rest firmly on the floor. Not adjusting the optional
stabilizer support legs may cause the machine to move or fall over, resulting in injury to you.
