Safety Information

Use Recommendations

-Because the printer uses a thermal printing method, it produces heat during operation. Be sure to place it where it will receive adequate ventilation.

-Don’t allow moisture to come in contact with the printer, the AC adapter, or the AC Power Cord.

Outdoor Use Warning

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose this printer, its AC adapter, or the power cord to rain or moisture.

Caution: Using AC Power

To use AC power (with or without the battery installed), you must use the AC adapter supplied with the printer.

The AC adapter allows you to connect to worldwide (100-240 volt) power sources. The AC adapter automatically adjusts to the correct voltage when connected.

Check the power plug configurations and voltages used in your coun- try. If you need a different plug or power cord than supplied with your printer, you can either purchase a plug adapter locally or contact your local reseller or Brother for assistance in acquiring a proper cord set.

Battery Recycling Information

This printer can run on an optional rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, please consider recycling options for proper disposal (contact your local solid waste officials). It may be illegal under various state and local laws to dispose of the battery in your solid waste collection.
