• Since the machine is grounded through the
power outlet, you can protect yourself from
potentially hazardous electrical conditions on
the telephone network by keeping the power
cord connected to your machine when you
connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you
can protect yourself when you want to move
your machine by disconnecting the telephone
line first and then the power cord.
aConnect the power cord.
bLift the scanner cover until it locks securely into

NOTE
To prolong print head life, provide the best ink
cartridge economy and maintain print quality, we
do not recommend frequently unplugging the
machine and/or leaving the machine unplugged
for extended periods of time. We recommend
using to power down the machine. Using
allows minimal power to the machine, which
ensures periodic cleaning of the print head.

IMPORTANT
• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not
need to replace them. If you do so, it may
reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not
know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.
• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the
cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the
cartridge.
• If you mix the colours by installing an ink
cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print
head several times after correcting the
cartridge installation. (uuBasic User’s Guide:
Cleaning the print head)
• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the
machine and use it up within six months of
installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by
the expiration date written on the cartridge
package.
• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink
cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of
the cartridge.
• Brother multifunction machines are designed to
work with ink of a particular specification and
will work to a level of optimum performance
when used with genuine Brother branded ink
cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this
optimum performance if ink or ink cartridges of
other specifications are used. Brother does not
therefore recommend the use of cartridges
other than genuine Brother branded cartridges
with this machine or the refilling of empty
cartridges with ink from other sources. If
damage is caused to the print head or other
parts of this machine as a result of using
incompatible products with this machine, any
repairs required as a result may not be covered
by the warranty.
