One Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service
(USA only)
Who is covered:
This limited warranty (“warranty”) is given only to the original end-use/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, 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; and,
5 Problems arising from other than defects in materials or workmanship.
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 1-800-284-4329 for Fax,
MFC and DCP and 1-800-276-7746 for
Printers, 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 1-800-521-2846.
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
iv
Brother
®
One Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service
(USA only)
discretion. Brother reserves the right to supply a refurbished or remanufactured replacement
Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items and use refurbished parts provided such replacement products conform to the manufacturer's 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 Brother's 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 Brother,
Brother will send to you a replacement Machine 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 that 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 Brother's 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 Brother's 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/FACSIMILE MACHINE
LIMITED WARRANTY
(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 MFC/Facsimile machine 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 MFC/Facsimile 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/Facsimile machine 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 MFC/Facsimile and will VOID the
Warranty. (Refer to your User's Guide 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
User's Guide 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 Brother's entire liability and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the MFC/Facsimile machine to operate properly.
Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this
MFC/Facsimile 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 Providence to Providence.
Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized Service Centers throughout
Canada. For Technical Support or for the name and location of your nearest
Authorized Service Center call 1-877-BROTHER.

Acceptable paper and other media
2
The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you are using 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 glossy paper, be sure to choose the proper media in the
‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in the
Paper Type setting of the menu.
When you print on Brother photo paper, load the instruction sheet included with the photo paper in the paper tray first, and then put the photo paper on the instruction sheet.
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 media
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 media
Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
The coated side of photo paper is shiny.
Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side.
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.

Please be aware of the following:
When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the
PhotoCapture Center
®
will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be printed.
Your machine is designed to read media cards that have been formatted by a digital camera.
When a digital camera formats a media card it creates a special folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the image data stored on a media 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 media 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.

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 that an ink cartridge is empty, 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.

Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance
WARNING
If ink gets in your eyes, wash them out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.
CAUTION
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 stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.
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.

Specifications
Consumable items

Service Life of Ink
Cartridge
Replacement
Consumables
The machine uses individual Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges that are separate from the print head assembly.
The first time you install the ink cartridges the machine will use extra ink to fill the ink delivery tubes. This is a one-time process that enables high quality printing. Afterward, replacement ink cartridges will print the specified number of pages.
Replacement Ink Cartridges
Standard Black - Approximately 500 pages at 5% coverage
Yellow, Cyan and Magenta - Approximately 400 pages at 5% coverage
The above figures are based upon the following assumptions:
Continuous printing at a resolution of 600 × 600 dpi in normal mode after installing new ink cartridge;
The printing frequency;
The number of pages printed;
Periodic, automatic, print head assembly cleaning (Your machine will clean the print head assembly periodically. This process will use a small amount of ink); and,
Ink remaining in cartridge identified as ‘empty’ (It is necessary to leave a small amount of ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly).
