In the following situations, stop using the printer immediately, turn it off, and disconnect the
power cord from the AC power outlet/socket. After that, call your dealer or Brother
Customer Service immediately. Continued use of the printer in such situations could result
in fire:
■There is smoke emanating from the printer or the outside of the printer is excessively
hot.
■Unusual noises are coming from the printer.
■There is water inside the printer.
To prevent fire or electric shocks, connect the AC power cord to a grounded/earthed AC
power outlet/socket.For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding/earthing
of the power, call a qualified electrician.
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, stop using the printer
immediately, turn it off, and disconnect the AC power cord from the AC power outlet/socket.
After that, call your dealer or Brother Customer Service. Using a damaged cord can cause
fire or an electric shock.
Do not plug or unplug the printer when it is on. Unplugging a live connector can deform the
plug and cause fire.
When unplugging the printer, grasp the plug instead of the power cord. Forcibly pulling the
AC power cord can damage it and cause a fire or an electric shock.
Be sure to turn off and unplug the printer before accessing the interior of the printer for
cleaning, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Accessing the interior of a live printer can result
in electric shock.
Once a month, turn off the printer and check the power cord for the following.
■The power cord is plugged firmly into the AC power outlet.
■The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent.
■The plug and outlet are dust free.
■The cord is not cracked or frayed.
If you notice any unusual conditions, call your dealer or Brother Customer Service for
assistance.
When the printer is not used over an extended period of time, it is advisable to unplug the
printer.
Switch off the printer before connecting the interface cable or options. Connecting the
interface cable or options to a live printer can cause electric shocks.
