BROTHER DIGITAL COPIER/PRINTER MACHINE
LIMITED WARRANTY
(For Canada Only)
Pursuant to this limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts,
Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its Authorized Service
Centers, will repair this Copier/Printer free of charge if defective in material or
workmanship. This Limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables
(including, without limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner, and drum) or damage
caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage
caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a
Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of supplies or consumable
items that are non-Brother products. Operation of the Copier/Printer in excess of the
specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed
abuse and all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. In
order to obtain warranty service, the Copier/Printer must be delivered or shipped freight
prepaid by the end user/purchaser to a “Brother” Authorized Service Center, together
with your Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt.
For laser products: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit on
applicable models) during shipping will cause severe damage to the Copier/Printer and
will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)
For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping. Damage to your
print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges will VOID your warranty.
(Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT THAT ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY
WAIVED.
No oral or written information, advice or representation provided by Brother, its
Authorized Service Centers, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create
another warranty or modify this warranty. This warranty states Brother’s entire liability
and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the Copier/Printer to
operate properly.
Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of
this Copier/Printer shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential,
exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, arising from the use of or inability
to use the product, even if advised by the end user/purchaser of the possibility of such
damages. Since some Provinces do not allow the above limitation of liability, such
limitation may not apply to you.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights
which vary from Providence to Providence.

air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine
to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Do not connect your
machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
Disruption of power can wipe out information in the machine’s memory. Do
not connect your machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large
appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid
interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

User-Friendly Programming
We have designed your DCP with on-screen programming using navigation
keys. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the menu
selections your DCP has to offer.
Since your programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen
prompts to help you program your machine. All you need to do is follow the
prompts as they guide you through the menu selections and programming
options. You can program settings even more quickly by pressing Menu/Set
and the menu number using the numeric keys.
Menu Selection Table
You can probably perform most of these programming operations without the
Owner’s Manual. To help you understand the menu selections and options that
are found in the DCP operations, use the Menu Selection Table on page 3-3.
You can program your DCP by pressing Menu/Set followed by the menu
number. For example: to set COPY MODE to PHOTO, press Menu/Set, 2, 1
or
and
to select PHOTO, and then press Menu/Set.

The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance print speed in
Windows® applications; it allows you to set various printer settings, including
economy print mode and custom paper size.

Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplex)
The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 95/98/98SE, Windows NT®
Workstation Version 4.0 support manual duplex printing. (For more
information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)
Please select LPT1 port in the printer driver. The machine prints all the
even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows® driver
instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting
the paper, straighten it well or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick
paper is not recommended. If the paper “double-feeds” (sends two sheets at
once), hold the stack of paper except for the front sheet while the paper is
feeding.
Multi-purpose
Sheet Feeder
When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the
printer quality might not be satisfactory.
Loading Envelopes in Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder

Paper Tray
The DCP ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the paper tray at the
front of the machine. When you use transparencies, remove each sheet
immediately after printing, to prevent a paper jam or curled sheets.
Simultaneous Printing/Copying
Your DCP can print data from your computer while scanning information into
the computer. However, when the DCP is copying on paper, it pauses the PC
printing operation and then resumes when copying is complete.

The Brother Control Center is a software utility that pops up on the PC screen
whenever paper is placed in the automatic document feeder (not on the scanner

the need to manually launch the specific applications.
The Brother Control Center provides two categories of operations:

scan originals into your word processing,
graphics or E-mail applications.
The advantage of using the Scan to key is that
you avoid the mouse clicks required to scan from
your PC.
Using the Control Panel Keys
If you have connected a Macintosh, the control panel keys will not work with
your computer. Please see page 11-1.
Before you can use the Scan to key on the control panel, you must have
connected the DCP to your Windows®-based PC and loaded the appropriate
Brother Drivers for your version of Windows®. When you are ready to use the
Scan key, make sure the Brother Control Center application is running on your
PC.

Viewing Items
PaperPort® provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a
thumbnail, a small graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or folder.
Items in the selected folder appear on the PaperPort® Desktop. You can see
PaperPort® items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort® items (files created using
other applications).
Non-PaperPort® items include an icon that indicates the application that was
used to create the item; a non-PaperPort® item is represented by a small
rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.
Page View displays a close-up of a single page and you can open a PaperPort®
item by double-clicking on it. As long as you have the appropriate application
on your computer to display it, you can also double-click a non-PaperPort® item
to open it.
Desktop View displays items
as thumbnails
Page View displays each item
as a full page
Organizing Your Items in Folders
PaperPort® has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The
filing system consists of folders and items that you select to view in Desktop
View. An item can be a PaperPort® item or a non-PaperPort® item:
• Folders are arranged in a “tree” structure in the Folder View. You use this pane
to select folders and view their items in Desktop View.
• You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is
highlighted, release the mouse button and the item is stored in that folder.
• Folders can be “nested”—that is, stored in other folders.
• When you double-click a folder, its items (both PaperPort® MAX files and other
files) appear on the Desktop.
• You can also use Windows® Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in
Desktop View.

Links to Many Other Applications
PaperPort® automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer
and creates a “working link” to them. The Link Bar at the bottom of Desktop
view shows icons of those linked applications. To use a link, drag an item onto
one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon.
This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort®.
If PaperPort® does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your
computer, you can manually create a link using the Create New Link
command. (See PaperPort® Help for more information about creating new
links.)
Using ScanSoft™ TextBridge® OCR (Converting
Image Text to Text You Can Edit)
Software by:
ScanSoft™ TextBridge® OCR is automatically installed with PaperPort® when
you install Multi-Function Link® Pro Suite on your computer.
PaperPort® can quickly convert the text on a PaperPort® item (which is really
just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing
application. PaperPort® uses the optical character recognition application
ScanSoft™ TextBridge, which comes with PaperPort®—OR—PaperPort® uses
your application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire
item, or by using the Copy As Text command, you can select only a portion of
the text to convert.
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort®’s built-in
OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.
Importing Items from Other Applications
In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort® in a variety
of ways and convert them to PaperPort® (MAX) files in several different ways:
• Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft Excel.
• Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows® Bitmap (BMP) or
Tag Image File Format (TIFF).

photographic images, set the image type to Gray (Error diffusion) or True Gray.
Gray (Error Diffusion)—is used for documents that contain photographic
images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray
images by placing black dots in a specific matrix instead of true gray dots.)
True Gray—also is used for documents containing photographic images or
graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of gray. It
requires the most memory and longest transfer time.
Colors—Choose either 256 Color, which scans up to 256 colors, 24-bit color
which scans up to 16.8 million colors. Although using 24-bit color creates an

Replacing the Toner Cartridge
The DCP can print approximately 2,200 pages with one toner cartridge. When
the toner cartridge is running low, the LCD showsTONER LOW. The machine
is supplied with a starter toner cartridge that must be replaced after 1,000 pages.
Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type (i.e.
standard letter, detailed graphics).
It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the
TONER LOW warning.
Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you are not
sure of them, call your local Sanitation Department. Be sure to seal the toner
cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. When
discarding used toner cartridges, keep them separate from domestic garbage.
We recommend that you clean the DCP when you replace the toner cartridge.

Replacing the Drum Unit
The DCP uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the LCD shows
CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is near the end of its life. Purchase a
new drum unit to replace the current one.
Even if the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue
to print without replacing the drum unit for a while. However, if there is a
noticeable deterioration in the output print quality even before CHANGE
DRUM SOON is shown, then the drum unit should be replaced. You should
clean the printer when you replace the drum unit.
Caution
ꢀ When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains toner.
When you replace the drum unit, you should clean the machine.
ꢀ
Wait to unpack the drum unit until immediately before installing it into the machine.
If an unpacked drum unit is subjected to excessive direct sunlight or room light,
the unit may be damaged.
ꢀ Handle the toner cartridge and the drum unit carefully because they contain
toner. If toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty, immediately wipe or
wash with cold water.
The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it periodically.
There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature,
humidity, type of paper and toner that you use and the number of pages per print
job, etc. The drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000 pages at 20 pages per
job and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual number of pages your drum will
print may be significantly less than these estimates. Because we have no control
over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a
minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.
For best performance, use only a genuine Brother toner cartridge. The product
should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.
WARNING
Just after you have used the DCP, some internal parts of the machine are
extremely HOT! So please be careful.
