™ CHANGE DRUM SOON message
CHANGE DRUM SOON
The printer uses a Drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the
display shows the above message, it means the Drum unit is near the end of
its life. We recommend that you replace the Drum unit with a new one
before there is a noticeable deterioration in the print quality.
™ Replacing the Drum unit
This printer can print approximately 20,000 pages *1 with one Drum unit.
*1 At 5% coverage print (A4-Letter size). The actual number of printed pages
may vary depending on the average type of print job and paper.
✒
Note
There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as
temperature, humidity, type of paper, type of toner used, the number of
pages per print job, etc. Under ideal conditions, the average drum life is
estimated at approximately 20,000 pages. The actual number of pages that
your drum will print may be significantly less than this estimate. 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.
For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner. The printer should
be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.

Appendix–7
What is important when you choose paper to
use with this printer
♦ Before you purchase a large quantity of paper
Make sure that the paper is suitable for the printer.
♦ Paper for plain paper copy
Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying. The usage is
usually specified on the paper’s package. Check the package to see whether it is suitable
for laser printers. Use paper that is suitable for laser printers.
♦ Basis weight
The basis weight of the paper in general use varies in different countries. We recommend
that you use paper that weighs 75 g/m2 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb.), although this printer is able
to cope with thinner or thicker paper than these weights.
Unit
g/m2
lb
Europe
80 to 90
USA
75 to 90
20 to 24
♦ Long grain and short grain
The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacture. What we call long grain
paper is paper where the fibre is parallel to the paper carriage direction of the paper.
Paper can be classified into two types, long grain and short grain. Long grain paper’s
fibre direction is parallel to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Short grain
paper’s fibre direction is vertical to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer.
Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain. We recommend
that you use long grain paper for this printer. Short grain paper is too weak for the paper
carriage of the printer.
Appendix–8
APPENDIX
♦ Acid paper and neutralized paper
Paper can be classified as either acid paper or neutralized paper.
Though modern paper manufacture methods started with acid paper, recently neutralized
paper is taking the place of acid paper because of environment or preservation issues.
However, many forms of acid paper can be found in recycled paper.We recommend that
you use neutralized paper for this printer.
You can use an acid paper check pen to distinguish acid paper from neutral paper.
♦ Print surface
The characteristics may differ a little between the face side and reverse side of a sheet of
paper.
Usually, the opening side of the ream of paper package is the print side. Follow any
indication of the print side on the paper package. Typically, the paper side is indicated with
an arrow.
♦ Moisture content
Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the
important characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage
environment, although usually paper contains around 5% water by weight. Because
paper often absorbs water, the amount of water can sometimes be about 10% in a high
humidity environment. When the amount of water increases, the characteristic of the
paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For storage of the
paper and during use, we recommend the humidity of the surrounding environment is
between 50 % and 60%.

IMPORTANT - ForYour Safety
To ensure safe operation the three-pin electrical plug supplied must be inserted only
into a standard three-pin power point that is properly grounded through normal
household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-pin plug type and correctly
wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause
personal injury and equipment damage.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is
grounded and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt
about the effective grounding of the power, consult a qualified electrician.
Disconnect device
This printer must be installed near a power outlet which is easily accessible. In case
of emergencies, you must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet in order
to shut off power completely.

IMPORTANT - Wiring Information (For U.K. only)
If the power cord supplied with this printer is not suitable for your electrical outlet,
remove the plug from the mains cord and fit an appropriate three pin plug. If the
replacement plug is intended to take a fuse then fit a fuse with the same rating as
the original.
If a moulded plug is severed from the power cord then it should be destroyed
because a plug with cut wires is dangerous if plugged into a live socket outlet. Do not
leave it where a child might find it.
In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved by ASTA to BS1362 with
the same rating as the original fuse.
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover omitted.
WARNING - THIS PRINTER MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED.
The wires in the mains cord are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and yellow: Ground
Blue:
Brown:
Neutral
Live
The colours of the wiring in the power lead of this printer may not correspond with
the markings which identify the terminals in your plug. If you need to fit a different
plug, proceed as follows.
Remove a length of the cord outer sheath, taking care not to damage the coloured
insulation of the wires inside.
Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If the construction of the plug
permits, leave the green and yellow wire longer than the others so that, in the event
that the cord is pulled out of the plug, the green and yellow wire will be the last to
disconnect.
Remove a short section of the coloured insulation to expose the wires.
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the earth symbol or coloured green
or green and yellow.
Appendix–30
APPENDIX
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter “N” or coloured black or blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “L” or coloured red or brown.
The outer sheath of the cord must be secured inside the plug.The coloured wires
should not hang out of the plug.
