  Your Brother Printer might not be turning on because: * The printer is off. Press the I on the power switch to turn the printer on. * The power cord is loose or disconnected. Turn the printer off and connect the power cord properly, then turn the printer on again. * The printer is not connected to a correctly rated outlet/socket.

Do not connect the printer to an auxiliary power outlet on the back of a computer.
