This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
❏ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
❏ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
❏ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
❏ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Important – About the Interface Cable
This printer has been certified to comply with FCC standards, which are applied to the U.S.A.
only. A shielded interface cable should be used according to FCC 15.27(C). In addition, a
grounded plug should be plugged into a grounded AC outlet after checking the rating of the
local power supply for the printer to operate properly and safely.
Caution
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Brother Industries, Ltd. could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Laser Safety (For 110–120 V Model Only)
This printer is certified as a Class I laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control
for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous
laser radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings
and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user
operation.

For Your Safety
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard
three-pin power point which is effectively grounded through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-conductor and be correctly wired to
provide connection to ground. Incorrectly wired extension cords are a major cause of
fatalities.
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.

REGULATIONS
Canadian Department of Communications Compliance Statement
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital
Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.
IMPORTANT (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 the same fuse 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 orginal 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 :
Blue :
Brown :
Ground
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.
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.

Remote Printer Console program. See the software setup guide for
more information about RPC.
Sleep Mode
Whether the printer is in the on-line or off-line state and the printer does
not receive data for a certain period of time (time out), it enters sleep
mode. Sleep mode acts as though the printer has been turned off. The
factory set default time out is 15 or 2 minutes. (The default value varies
depending on the area.) While the printer is in sleep mode, all the lamps
are off, however the printer can still receive data from the computer.
Receiving a print file or document automatically awakens the printer to
start printing. Pressing any switch also awakens the printer.
✒ Note
•
•
•
This printer has no power switch. The sleep mode handles the power
control.
When the printer goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the

OTHER FEATURES SET BY OUR DRIVERS
Page Protection
If printed images are too complex to print, the printer may print a partical
image on the paper. If this occurs, the printer loses print data and
indicates the “print overrun error” by printing the error report. (See the
chapter 6 “ALARM INDICATION AT A GLANCE”.)
The page protection feature allows the printer to create the image to be
printed in memory before physically moving the paper through the
printer. Therefore, page protection may eliminate the "PRINT
OVERRUN" error.
The setting "AUTO" does not require the additional memory and it
automatically uses page protection only when it is necessary.
Occationally, when AUTO page protection is on, processing complex
print data may be slightly delayed.
✒ Note:
When you set this setting to A4, Letter or Legal, the following capacity of
memory is required.
300 dpi

Paper Handling
Questions
Recommendations
The printer does not load
paper.
•
•
•
Note if the ALARM and PAPER lamps are
blinking. If so, the multi-purpose sheet
feeder is out of paper. Load a new stack of
paper into the feeder.
If there is paper in the multi-purpose sheet
feeder, make sure it is straight. If the paper
is curled, you should straighten it before
printing.
Reduce the stack of paper in the multi-
purpose sheet feeder, then try again.
The printer does not load
paper from the manual
feed slot.
When the MANUAL lamp is blinking, press the
FF/CONT switch for manual loading.
Re-insert the paper firmly.
How can I load
envelopes?
You can load envelopes from either the multi-
purpose sheet feeder or the manual feed slot.
Your application software must be set up
correctly to print on 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,
transparencies, labels, and organizer paper. For
information on loading paper, see “Paper
Handling” in Chapter 2.
How can I clear paper
jams?

CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING
Printing
Questions
Recommendations
The printer prints
unexpectedly or it prints
garbage.
•
Make sure your application software is
correctly set up to use this printer and check
the printer driver settings or printer settings
in your application software.
•
Check the printer emulation settings. If you
can use the supplied RPC program, use it to
change the settings as required. Also, you
can print the current setting list from the
RPC program or Printer Control Panel.
You may clear the problem by resetting the
printer to user or factory settings. See
“Reset/Hex Dump Mode” in Chapter 3.
•
The printer cannot print
full pages of a document.
An error message “Print
Overrun” occurs.
The printer received a very complex print job
and could not process part of the page. This may
be solved by the following ways.
•
If you are using Windows 3.1 with the
supplied printer driver, change the settings
for "Graphics Mode", "TrueType™ Mode"
and "Use Printer TrueType™ Font".
Set the page protection mode to "AUTO" or
your document size.
•
•
Reduce the complexity of your document or
reduce the print resolution.
The printer cannot print
my spreadsheet. A
"Memory Full" error
message occurs.
Some applications download several types and
sizes of fonts. This can use up your printer
memory very quickly. Set the Page Protection to
AUTO or your document size, reduce the
number of font sizes within your application,
reduce resolution, or purchase additional SIMM
for the printer.
My headers or footers
appear when I view my
document on screen but
do not show up when I
print them.
Most laser printers have a restricted area that
cannot be printed on. Usually the first two lines
and last two lines of text cannot print. Adjust the
top and bottom margins in your document to
allow for this.
