When replacing parts and installing optional 
accessories, be sure to use only genuine Brother 
parts. Brother will not be held responsible for any 
accidents or problems resulting from the use of 
non-genuine parts. 
 
 
When replacing parts or installing optional

IMPORTANT
 
Printing 
Do not move the platen by hand. Otherwise the 
printer may be mechanically and electrically 
damaged. 
 
 
Ensure there is adequate space left in front of the 
printer and avoid placing any objects. The platen 
may be hit and damaged. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE
 
Use the printer in an area which is free from 
sources of strong electrical noise such as electrical 
line noise or static electric noise. Sources of strong 
electrical noise may cause problems with correct 
operation. 
 
Any fluctuations in the power supply voltage should 
be within ±10% of the rated voltage for the printer. 
Voltage fluctuations which are greater than this 
may cause problems with correct operation. 
The power supply capacity should be greater than 
the requirements for the printer’s power 
consumption. Insufficient power supply capacity 
may cause problems with correct operation. 
 
In the event of an electrical storm, turn off the 
power and disconnect the power cord from the wall 
outlet. Lightning may cause problems with correct 
operation.
