BROTHER DIGITAL COPIER/PRINTER MACHINE LIMITED WARRANTY

(For Canada Only) Pursuant to this limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts, Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (Brother), or its Authorized Service Centers, will repair this Copier/Printer free of charge if defective in material or workmanship. This Limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner, and drum) or damage caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products. Operation of the Copier/Printer in excess of the specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed abuse and all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. In order to obtain warranty service, the Copier/Printer must be delivered or shipped freight prepaid by the end user/purchaser to a Brother Authorized Service Center, together with your Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt.

For laser products: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit on applicable models) during shipping will cause severe damage to the Copier/Printer and will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)

For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping. Damage to your print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges will VOID your warranty. (Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)

BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY WAIVED.

No oral or written information, advice or representation provided by Brother, its Authorized Service Centers, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty or modify this warranty. This warranty states Brothers entire liability and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the Copier/Printer to operate properly.

Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this Copier/Printer shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, arising from the use of or inability to use the product, even if advised by the end user/purchaser of the possibility of such damages. Since some Provinces do not allow the above limitation of liability, such limitation may not apply to you.

This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from Providence to Providence.

6Using Brother DCP as a Printer

Special Printing Features

Windows Printing The dedicated printer driver and TrueType compatible fonts for Microsoft Windows 95/98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional and Windows NT Workstation Version 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your machine. You can install them easily into your Windows system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance print speed in Windows applications; it allows you to set various printer settings, including economy print mode and custom paper size.

Bi-directional Parallel Interface The Brother DCPs parallel interface enables it to send memory and printer setup information to the computer.

Printing from Your PC

Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder The DCPs multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, and organizer paper. When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.

Select the print command from your PC. Your PC sends a print command and data to the DCP. If there are more pages, the DCP begins to print the next page automatically.

If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the left and right margins in your application software. (See Acceptable Paper, page 2-7.)

You may select the paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application software.

Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplex) The supplied printer drivers for Windows 95/98/98SE, Windows NT Workstation Version 4.0 support manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)

Please select LPT1 port in the printer driver. The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended. If the paper double-feeds (sends two sheets at once), hold the stack of paper except for the front sheet while the paper is feeding.

When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the printer quality might not be satisfactory.

Loading Envelopes in Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder You can load up to 10 envelopes into the multi-purpose sheet feeder. Press and hold the blue lever on the right as you load the envelopes and slide the paper guides to fit. Make sure envelopes are inserted in the direction shown below.

Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder

Load the envelopes and adjust the guide with the lever down

YL4DCP-1000-FM5.5

Paper Tray The DCP ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the paper tray at the front of the machine. When you use transparencies, remove each sheet immediately after printing, to prevent a paper jam or curled sheets.

Simultaneous Printing/Copying

Your DCP can print data from your computer while scanning information into the computer. However, when the DCP is copying on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation and then resumes when copying is complete.

YL4DCP-1000-FM5.5

Choosing Acceptable Paper

We recommend that you test paper, especially special sizes and types, on the DCP before purchasing large quantities. See Acceptable Paper, page 2-7.

Avoid feeding labels with carrier sheets exposed, or your machine will be damaged.

Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.

Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper.

For optimum printing use a recommended type of paper, especially plain paper and transparencies. For more information on paper specifications, consult your nearest authorized sales representative or the place where you purchased your machine.

Use labels or transparencies that are designed for use in laser printers.

For the best print quality we recommend that you use long-grained paper.

You can use recycled paper.

8Using the Windows-Based Brother MFL-Pro Control Center (For Windows Only)

Brother MFL Pro Control Center

The Brother Control Center is a software utility that pops up on the PC screen whenever paper is placed in the automatic document feeder (not on the scanner glass). This allows you to quite easily, with very few mouse clicks, access the most frequently used scanner applications. Using the Control Center eliminates the need to manually launch the specific applications.

The Brother Control Center provides two categories of operations:

1 Scanning directly to a file, E-mail, word processor or graphic application of choice

2 Copying

DCP-1000

9Scanner and Using ScanSoft PaperPort and TextBridge OCR

Using ScanSoft PaperPort and TextBridge

ScanSoft Paper Port for Brother is a document management application. You will use PaperPort to view scanned documents. PaperPort has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, filing system that will help you organize your documents. It allows you to combine or stack documents of different formats for printing or filing. PaperPort can be accessed through the PaperPort program group. See On-Line Documentation for Multi-Function Link Pro on the CD-ROM.

The complete ScanSoft PaperPort Owners Manual, including ScanSoft TextBridge OCR, is in the On-Line Documentation on the CD-ROM. This chapter is only an introduction to the basic operations.

When you install Multi-Function Link Pro Suite, ScanSoft PaperPort for Brother and ScanSoft TextBridge OCR are installed with it automatically.

For Windows 95/98/98SE, and Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows ME and Windows 2000 Professional:

Select Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and the Install/ Uninstall tab. Select PaperPort from the list and click the Add/Remove button.

Viewing Items PaperPort provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a thumbnail, a small graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or folder. Items in the selected folder appear on the PaperPort Desktop. You can see PaperPort items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort items (files created using other applications). Non-PaperPort items include an icon that indicates the application that was used to create the item; a non-PaperPort item is represented by a small rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.

Page View displays a close-up of a single page and you can open a PaperPort item by double-clicking on it. As long as you have the appropriate application on your computer to display it, you can also double-click a non-PaperPort item to open it.

Organizing Your Items in Folders PaperPort has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of folders and items that you select to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort item or a non-PaperPort item:

Folders are arranged in a tree structure in the Folder View. You use this pane to select folders and view their items in Desktop View.

You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the mouse button and the item is stored in that folder.

Folders can be nestedthat is, stored in other folders.

When you double-click a folder, its items (both PaperPort MAX files and other files) appear on the Desktop.

You can also use Windows Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.

Page View displays each item as a full page

Desktop View displays items as thumbnails

Links to Many Other Applications PaperPort automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a working link to them. The Link Bar at the bottom of Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications. To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon.

This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort.

If PaperPort does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can manually create a link using the Create New Link command. (See PaperPort Help for more information about creating new links.)

Using ScanSoft TextBridge OCR (Converting Image Text to Text You Can Edit) Software by:

ScanSoft TextBridge OCR is automatically installed with PaperPort when you install Multi-Function Link Pro Suite on your computer.

PaperPort can quickly convert the text on a PaperPort item (which is really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application. PaperPort uses the optical character recognition application ScanSoft TextBridge, which comes with PaperPortORPaperPort uses your application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire item, or by using the Copy As Text command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert.

Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPorts built-in OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.

Importing Items from Other Applications In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort in a variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort (MAX) files in several different ways:

Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft Excel.

Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows Bitmap (BMP) or Tag Image File Format (TIFF).

If You Are Having Difficulty with Your Machine If you think there is a problem with your machine, make a copy first. If the copy looks good, the problem is probably not your machine. Check the table below and follow the troubleshooting tips.

DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS General Printing Difficulties

The DCP does not print. Check the following: The DCP is turned on. The toner cartridge and drum unit are installed

properly. The interface cable is securely connected

between the DCP and computer. Check to see if LCD is showing an error message. (See pages 13-1 to 13-3.)

The DCP prints unexpectedly or it prints garbage.

Reset the DCP. Check the primary settings in your application software to make sure it is set up to work with your DCP.

The DCP prints the first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing.

Your computer is not recognizing the printer input buffers full signal. Please make sure to connect the printer cable correctly.

The DCP cannot print full pages of a document; OUT OF MEMORY error message occurs.

Reduce the printer resolution. Reduce the complexity of your document and try again. Reduce the graphic quality or the number of font sizes within your application software.

My headers or footers appear when I view my document on the screen, but do not appear when I print them.

Most laser printers have a restricted area that will not accept print. Usually these are the first two lines and last two lines, leaves 62 printable lines. Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.

Software Difficulties MFC Connect Failure If the DCP is not connected to your PC and you

have loaded the Brother software, the PC will show MFC Connect Failure each time you restart Windows. You can ignore this message or you can turn it off by deselecting the AutoLoad PopUp check box. (See How to Turn Off AutoLoad, page 8-2, in On-Line Documentation (Owners Manual) on the CD-ROM.)

YL4DCP-1000-FM5.5

DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Windows Setup Printing Difficulties

I cannot print from my application software.

Make sure the Windows printer driver is installed and that you selected it in your application software.

Sometimes I get the error message OUT OF MEMORY when printing certain documents from Windows.

If you are using the supplied Windows driver, turn the error recover operation on in the Setup dialog box and try again. Reduce the print resolution or reduce the complexity of your document and try again.

The DCP does not load paper. The LCD shows CHECK PAPER or PAPER JAM.

Check to see if the CHECK PAPER or PAPER JAM message appears on the LCD. If so, the multi- purpose sheet feeder may be out of paper or not properly installed. If it is empty, load a new stack of paper into the feeder and then press Copy. If there is paper in the multi-purpose sheet feeder, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and place it back into the multi-purpose sheet feeder. Reduce the amount of paper in the multi-purpose sheet feeder, and then try again.

How can I load envelopes?

You can load envelopes from the multi-purpose sheet feeder. Your application software must be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or Document Setup menu of your software. Refer to your application manual.

What paper can I use? You can use plain paper, envelopes, organizer paper, transparencies and labels for laser machines. For information on paper you can use, (See Acceptable Paper on pages 2-7.)

How can I clear paper jams?

(See Paper Jam on pages 13-5 to 13-6.)

Copy Quality Difficulties Vertical streaks appear in copies.

Sometimes you may see vertical streaks on your copies. Either the scanner or the primary corona wire for printing is dirty. Clean them both. (See pages 13-13 to 13-15.)

DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Print Quality Difficulties

Printouts are too dark or too light.

Adjust the print conditions by changing the Print Density setting. It has been factory set to the middle position. (See Setting the Print Density, page 4-2.)

Printed pages are curled. Thin Paper (17lb-18.4lb) can cause this problem. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-purpose sheet feeder. (See Paper Type, page 5-8 and 5-10 and Media Type, page 7-4.)

Printed pages are smeared.

Rough surfaces or thick media can cause smeared pagesORthe toner to smear. Make sure you select the correct Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-purpose sheet feeder. (See Paper Type, page 5-8 and 5-10 and Media Type, page 7-4.)

Printed pages contain white stripes.

White Stripes or Faint lmages

You may fix this by wiping the scanner windows with a clean soft cloth. (See Cleaning the Scanner, page 13-13 and Replacing the Drum Unit, page 13-20.) If you still see white stripes or faint images and the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.

Printed pages are stained with toner or have vertical stripes.

Dark Stripes or Toner Stains

Clean the machines interior and the primary corona wire of the toner cartridge. (See Routine Maintenance, page 13-13 and Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 13-15.) Make sure that the tab of the corona wire is at the Home position (). If after cleaning, you still see dark stripes or toner stains and the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.

Printed pages have white in black text and graphic areas.

White Spots

Make sure that you use paper that meets the specifications. Rough surface or thick media can cause the problem. If you still see white spots and the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.

Toner scatters and stains the printed page.

Scattering Toner

Adjust the print conditions by changing the Print Density setting. Remove the drum unit and clean the DCPs interior. (See Routine Maintenance, page 13- 13, Cleaning the Printer, page 13-14 and Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 13-15.) Make sure that you use paper that meets specifications. (See page 2-7.)

DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Print Quality Difficulties (CONTINUED)

The whole page is printed black.

Black Page

Wipe the electric terminals referring to See page 13-14. Also, do not use heat-sensitive paper as it will cause this problem. After cleaning, if the printed pages are still black and the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.

Nothing is printed on the page.

White page

Make sure that the toner cartridge is not empty. Wipe the electric terminals. (See Routine Maintenance, page 13-13, Cleaning the Printer, page 13-14 and Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 13-15.) Make sure that a torn piece of paper does not remain on the scanner window.

Printed pages are marked at regular intervals.

Example of Regular Mark

Marks may disappear by themselves. Try copying multiple pages to clear this problem. Marks may occur if the machine has not been used for a long time. A possible cause is that the surface of the drum is scratched. You must then replace the drum unit with a new one. If the Marks do not disappear, it may be that the drum was marked or damaged by excessive exposure to light. In this case, replace the drum unit with a new one.

Printed pages are blurred at the center or at either edge.

Blurred Page

Certain environmental conditions such as humidity, high temperatures, etc. may cause this condition to occur. Make sure the machine is placed on a flat, horizontal surface. Remove the drum unit with the toner cartridge installed. Try rocking them from side to side. You may clear a blurred page by wiping the scanner windows with a clean soft cloth. (See Routine Maintenance, page 13-13, Cleaning the Printer, page 13-14 and Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 13-15.) If a blurred page occurs after cleaning and the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.

Ghost images appear on printed pages.

Ghost Images

Adjust the print conditions by changing the Print Density setting, page 4-2.OR Rough surfaces or thick media can cause a ghost image. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-purpose sheet feeder. (See Paper Type, page 5-8 and 5-10 and Media Type, page 7-4.)

Note The drum unit is a consumable item and it is necessary to replace it periodically.

5 Close the scanner cover.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge The DCP can print approximately 2,200 pages with one toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is running low, the LCD shows TONER LOW. The machine is supplied with a starter toner cartridge that must be replaced after 1,000 pages. Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type (i.e. standard letter, detailed graphics).

It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the TONER LOW warning.

Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you are not sure of them, call your local Sanitation Department. Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. When discarding used toner cartridges, keep them separate from domestic garbage.

Note We recommend that you clean the DCP when you replace the toner cartridge.

Replacing the Drum Unit The DCP uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is near the end of its life. Purchase a new drum unit to replace the current one.

Even if the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue to print without replacing the drum unit for a while. However, if there is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality even before CHANGE DRUM SOON is shown, then the drum unit should be replaced. You should clean the printer when you replace the drum unit.

Caution

When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains toner. When you replace the drum unit, you should clean the machine.

Wait to unpack the drum unit until immediately before installing it into the machine. If an unpacked drum unit is subjected to excessive direct sunlight or room light, the unit may be damaged.

Handle the toner cartridge and the drum unit carefully because they contain toner. If toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty, immediately wipe or wash with cold water.

For best performance, use only a genuine Brother toner cartridge. The product should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.

WARNING

Just after you have used the DCP, some internal parts of the machine are extremely HOT! So please be careful.

Follow these steps to replace the drum unit:

The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it periodically. There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper and toner that you use and the number of pages per print job, etc. The drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000 pages at 20 pages per job and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual number of pages your drum will print may be significantly less than these estimates. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.
