Brother One-Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service (USA Only)

Who is covered: This limited warranty (warranty) is given only to the original end-user/retail purchaser (referred to in this warranty as Original Purchaser) of the accompanying product, consumables and accessories (collectively referred to in this warranty as this Product). If you purchased a product from someone other than an authorized Brother reseller in the United States or if the product was used (including but not limited to floor models or refurbished product), prior to your purchase you are not the Original Purchaser and the product that you purchased is not covered by this warranty.

What is covered: This Product includes a Machine and Consumable and Accessory Items. Consumable and Accessory Items include but are not limited to print heads, toner, drums, ink cartridges, print cartridges, cordless handset battery, refill ribbons, therma PLUS paper and thermal paper. Except as otherwise provided herein, Brother warrants that the Machine and the accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, when used under normal conditions. This warranty applies only to products purchased and used in the United States. For products purchased in, but used outside, the United States, this warranty covers only warranty service within the United States (and does not include shipping outside the United States).

What is the length of the Warranty Periods: Machines: one year from the original purchase date. Accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items: 90 days from the original purchase date or the rated life of consumable, whichever comes first.

What is NOT covered: This warranty does not cover: 1 Physical damage to this Product; 2 Damage caused by improper installation,

improper or abnormal use, misuse, neglect or accident (including but not limited to transporting this Product without the proper preparation and/or packaging);

3 Damage caused by another device or software used with this Product (including but not limited to damage resulting from use of non Brother-brand parts and Consumable and Accessory Items);

4 Consumable and Accessory Items that expired in accordance with a rated life;

5 Problems arising from other than defects in materials or workmanship; and,

6 Normal Periodic Maintenance Items, such as Paper Feeding Kit, Fuser and Laser Units.

This limited warranty is VOID if this Product has been altered or modified in any way (including but not limited to attempted warranty repair without authorization from Brother and/or alteration/removal of the serial number). What to do if you think your Product is eligible for warranty service: Report your issue to either our Customer Service Hotline at 1-877-BROTHER (1-877- 276-8437) or to a Brother Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period. Supply Brother or the Brother Authorized Service Center with a copy of your dated bill of sale showing that this Product was purchased within the U.S. For the name of local Brother Authorized Service Center(s), call 1-877-BROTHER (1-877-276-8437) or visit www.brother-usa.com. What Brother will ask you to do: After contacting Brother or a Brother Authorized Service Center, you may be required to deliver (by hand if you prefer) or send the Product properly packaged, freight prepaid, to the Authorized Service Center together with a photocopy of your bill of sale. You are responsible for the cost of shipping, packing product, and insurance (if you desire). You are also responsible for loss or damage to this Product in shipping. What Brother will do: If the problem reported concerning your Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items is covered by this warranty and if you first reported the problem to Brother or an Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period, Brother or its Authorized Service Center will repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items at no charge to you for parts or labor. The decision as to whether to repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items is made by Brother in its sole discretion. Brother reserves the right to supply a refurbished or remanufactured replacement

v

Brother One-Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service (USA Only)

Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items and use refurbished parts provided such replacement products conform to the manufacturers specifications for new product/parts. The repaired or replacement Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be returned to you freight prepaid or made available for you to pick up at a conveniently located Authorized Service Center. If the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items are not covered by this warranty (either stage), you will be charged for shipping the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items back to you and charged for any service and/or replacement parts/products at Brothers then current published rates. The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and exclusive remedies under this warranty. What happens when Brother elects to replace your Machine: When a replacement Machine is authorized by Brother, and you have delivered the Machine to an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized Service Center will provide you with a replacement Machine after receiving one from Brother. If you are dealing directly with Brothers Express Exchange Service Brother will send to you a replacement Machine shipped for receipt within two business days, with the understanding that you will, after receipt of the replacement Machine, supply the required proof of purchase information, together with the Machine that Brother agreed to replace. You are then expected to pack the Machine that Brother agreed to replace in the package from the replacement Machine and return it to Brother using the pre-paid freight bill supplied by Brother in accordance with the instructions provided by Brother. Since you will be in possession of two machines, Brother will require that you provide a valid major credit card number. Brother will issue a hold against the credit card account number that you provide until Brother receives your original Product and determines that your original Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit card will be charged up to the cost of a new Product only if: (i) you do not return your original Product to Brother within five (5) business days; (ii) the problems with your original Product are not covered by the limited warranty; (iii) the proper packaging instructions are not followed and has caused damage to the product; or (iv) the warranty

period on your original Product has expired or has not been sufficiently validated with a copy of the proof of purchase (bill of sale). The replacement Machine you receive (even if refurbished or remanufactured) will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the replacement Machine that is sent to you and your original Machine shall become the property of Brother. Retain your original Accessory Items and a copy of the return freight bill, signed by the courier. Limitations: Brother is not responsible for damage to or loss of any equipment, media, programs or data related to the use of this Product. Except for the repair or replacement as described above, Brother shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or specific relief. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WHETHER EXPRESSED BY AFFIRMATION, PROMISE, DESCRIPTION, DRAWING, MODEL OR SAMPLE. ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THIS ONE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

This Limited Warranty is the only warranty that Brother is giving for this Product. It is the final expression and the exclusive and only statement of Brothers obligations to you. It replaces all other agreements and understandings that you may have with Brother or its representatives. This warranty gives you certain rights and you may also have other rights that may vary from state to state. This Limited Warranty (and Brothers obligation to you) may not be changed in any way unless you and Brother sign the same piece of paper in which we (1) refer to this Product and your bill of sale date, (2) describe the change to this warranty and (3) agree to make that change.

Important: We recommend that you keep all original packing materials, in the event that you ship this Product.

BROTHER MULTIFUNCTION CENTER / FAX MACHINE LIMITED WARRANTY

(Canada only)

Pursuant to the limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts, Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (Brother), or its Authorized Service Centres, will repair or replace (at Brother's sole discretion) this MFC/Fax machine free of charge if defective in material or workmanship. This warranty applies only to products purchased and used in Canada. This limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without limitation, ink cartridges, print cartridges, print rolls, thermal paper rolls, toner cartridges, drum units, OPC belts, fixing units, print heads, paper feed rollers, transfer rolls, cleaning rollers, waste toner packs, oil bottles) 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 if shipped out of the country. The use of supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products may void your warranty. This limited warranty ceases when this machine is rented, sold, or otherwise disposed of. Operation of the MFC/Fax machine 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 MFC/Fax machine must be delivered or shipped freight prepaid by the end-user/purchaser to a Brother Authorized Service Centre, together with your Canadian Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt. When shipping or transporting your MFC/Fax machine, please refer to your Operation Manual for the proper packaging procedures. For Laser units: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit, waste toner packs or oil bottles on applicable models) during shipping or transport will cause severe damage to the Laser MFC/Fax machine and will void the Warranty. For inkjet units: (When shipping your Inkjet MFC/Fax machine remove the ink cartridges and replace them with the original protective parts. If original protective parts are not available, leave ink cartridges installed. Please avoid shipping the unit without original protective parts or ink cartridges.) Damage to your print head resulting from packing the Inkjet MFC/Fax machine without the ink cartridges or the protective parts will void your warranty. Improper packaging may cause severe damage to the machine during shipping and will void the warranty. BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATIONS, 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 Centres, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty or modify this warranty. The warranty states Brother's entire liability and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the MFC/Fax machine to operate properly. Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this MFC/Fax machine 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 Province to Province. Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized Service Centres throughout Canada. For Technical Assistance or for the name and location of your nearest Authorized Service Centre call 1-877-BROTHER. Internet support: support@brother.ca or browse Brother's Web Site www.brother.ca.

About envelopes 2

Use envelopes that weigh from 20 to 25 lb (80 to 95 g/m2).

Some envelopes need margin settings to be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first before printing many envelopes.

IMPORTANT DO NOT use any of the following types of envelopes, as they will cause paper feed problems:

If they are of a baggy construction.

That are embossed (have raised writing on them).

That have clasps or staples.

That are pre-printed on the inside.

Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.

Acceptable paper and other print media 2

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use the Brother paper.

When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and photo paper, be sure to choose the proper print media in the Basic tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the machines menu. (See Paper Type on page 29.)

When you print on Brother Photo paper, load one extra sheets of the same photo paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package for this purpose.

When you use transparencies or photo paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

Recommended print media 2

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See the table below.)

We recommend using 3M Transparency Film when you print on transparencies.

Handling and using print media 2

Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of photo paper. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down.

Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

You can only print on both sides of the paper with PC printing using Windows. See Printing for Windows in the Software Users Guide on the CD-ROM.

IMPORTANT DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 This curve should not exceed 0.08 in. (2 mm).

Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

Paper made with a short grain

Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover 2

Up to 50 sheets of Letter, Legal or A4 20 lb (80 g/m2) paper.

Transparencies and photo paper must be picked up from the output paper tray cover one page at a time to avoid smudging.

Printing from a memory card without a PC 5

Even if your machine is not connected to your computer, you can print photos directly from digital camera media. (See How to print from a memory card on page 34.)

Scanning to a memory card without a PC 5

You can scan documents and save them directly to a memory card. (See Scan to a memory card on page 41.)

Using PhotoCapture Center from your computer 5

From your computer you can access a memory card that is inserted in the front of the machine.

(See PhotoCapture Center for Windows or PhotoCapture Center for Macintosh in the Software Users Guide on the CD-ROM.)

Using a memory card 5

Your Brother machine has media drives (slots) for use with the following popular digital camera media: Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, SD, SDHC and xD-Picture Card.

miniSD can be used with a miniSD adapter.

microSD can be used with a microSD adapter.

Memory Stick Duo can be used with a Memory Stick Duo adapter.

Memory Stick PRO Duo can be used with a Memory Stick PRO Duo adapter.

Memory Stick Micro (M2) can be used with a Memory Stick Micro (M2) adapter.

Adapters are not included with the machine. Contact a third party supplier for adapters.

This product supports xD-Picture Card Type M / Type M+ / Type H (Large Capacity).

The PhotoCapture Center feature lets you print digital photos from your digital camera at high resolution to get photo quality printing.

Memory cards and folder structures 5

Your machine is designed to be compatible with modern digital camera image files and memory cards; however, please read the points below to avoid errors:

The image file extension must be .JPG (other image file extensions like .JPEG, .TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized).

Direct PhotoCapture Center printing without using a PC must be performed separately from PhotoCapture Center operations using the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not available.)

IBM Microdrive is not compatible with the machine.

The machine can read up to 999 files on a memory card.

The DPOF file on the memory cards must be in a valid DPOF format. (See DPOF printing on page 36.)

Please be aware of the following:

When printing an index or image, the PhotoCapture Center will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have been corrupted. The corrupted images will not be printed.

Your machine is designed to read memory cards that have been formatted by a digital camera.

When a digital camera formats a memory card it creates a special folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the image data stored on a memory card with your PC, we recommend that you do not modify the folder structure created by the digital camera. When saving new or modified image files to the memory card we also recommend you use the same folder your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same folder, the machine may not be able to read the file or print the image.

Getting started 5

Firmly put a memory card into the proper slot.

1 SD, SDHC 2 Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO 3 xD-Picture Card

Photo Capture key lights:

Photo Capture light is on, the memory card is properly inserted.

Photo Capture light is off, the memory card is not properly inserted.

Photo Capture light is blinking, the memory card is being read or written to.

IMPORTANT DO NOT unplug the power cord or remove the memory card from the media drive (slot) while the machine is reading or writing to the memory card (the Photo Capture key is blinking). You will lose your data or damage the card.

The machine can only read one device at a time so do not put more than one device in the machine at the same time.

Clean Unable 46 The ink absorber box or flushing box is full. These components are periodic maintenance items that may require replacement after a period of time to ensure optimum performance from your Brother machine. The need to replace these items and the time period before replacement is dependent on the number of purges and flushes required to clean the ink system. These boxes acquire amounts of ink during the different purging and flushing operations. The number of times a machine purges and flushes for cleaning varies depending on different situations. For example, frequently powering the machine on and off will cause numerous cleaning cycles since the machine automatically cleans upon power up. The use of generic inks may cause frequent cleanings because generic inks could cause poor print quality which is resolved by cleaning. The more cleaning the machine requires the faster these boxes will fill up.

Note Repairs resulting from the use of non-genuine supplies may not be covered under the stated product warranty.

The ink absorber box or flushing box will need to be replaced. Contact Brother Customer Service or a Brother Authorized Service Center to have your machine serviced. (See Brother numbers on page i.)

Other reasons for cleaning are:

1 Machine automatically cleans after clearing a printer jam.

2 Machine automatically cleans after sitting idle for more than 45 days (infrequent use).

Routine maintenance B

Replacing the ink cartridges B

Your machine is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the 4 cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will tell you with a message on the LCD.

The LCD will tell you which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the correct order.

Even though the machine tells you to replace an ink cartridge, there will be a small amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly.

IMPORTANT Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the ink cartridges provided with your machine. We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Innobella replacement ink cartridges. Use or attempted use of potentially incompatible ink and/or cartridges in the Brother machine may cause damage to the machine and/or may result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of unauthorized third party ink and/or cartridges. To protect your investment and obtain premium performance from the Brother machine, we strongly recommend the use of Genuine Brother Supplies.

a Open the ink cartridge cover. If one or more ink cartridges have reached the end of their life, for example Black, the LCD shows Cannot Print and Replace BK Ink.

b Press down to unlock the release lever and take out the ink cartridge for the color shown on the LCD.

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 touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your skin.

If ink gets on your skin or clothing immediately wash it off with soap or detergent.

If you mix the colors by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation.

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.

Cleaning the outside of the machine B

IMPORTANT Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with

volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine will damage the outside surface of the machine.

DO NOT use cleaning materials that contain ammonia.

DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt from the control panel. It may crack the panel.

Clean the outside of the machine as follows:

a Pull the paper tray (1) completely out of the machine.
