Year 2000 Compliant

Brother is addressing the Year 2000 related issues for all Brother fax machines and multi-function centers. Our focus is to ensure that our bundled third party software will continue to properly process date/time data after January 1, 2000.

Brother fax machines and multi-function centers will function properly after January 1, 2000, provided that all non-Brother hardware, software and firmware used by our customers in connection or combination with Brother fax machines, and bundled software, accurately

exchange date data with the Brother products.

Please continue to check our Web page for updates at http://www.brother.com . All remedies will be provided to individual customers via software patches through software download or from Brother Customer Service.
