If the problem continues, call Brother or your dealer for service.
Check that the machine is plugged in and the power switch is turned on.
Check that the toner cartridge and drum unit are installed properly. (See
Replacing the drum unit (DR-3150) on page 65.)
Check the interface cable connection on both the machine and your computer.

Check that the correct printer driver has been installed and chosen.
Check to see if the LCD is showing an error message. (See Error messages

The machine is online. On your PC, click Start, then Settings, and then
Printers and Faxes. Right-click 'Brother DCP-XXXX (where XXXX is your
model name)'. Make sure that 'Use Printer Offline' is unchecked.
Turn off the machine's power switch and then turn it on again. If the error
message continues leave the machine for several minutes and then try it
again.
Check the settings in your application to make sure it is set up to work with
your machine.
If you are using the parallel port connection, check that the port is set to BRMFC
and not LPT1.
