Brother MFC-J280W Product Safety Manual page 3

DO NOT put the machine in a location where any slot or opening in the machine is obstructed
or blocked. These slots and openings are provided for ventilation. Blocking the machine's
ventilation could create a risk of overheating and/or fire. Instead:
• Place the machine on a solid surface, never on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface.
• Do not place this machine near or over a radiator or heater.
• Do not place this machine in a "built-in" installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.
Plastic bags are used in the packing of your machine. Plastic bags are not toys. To avoid the
danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children and dispose of them
properly.
CAUTION
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic area,
ensure that the machine is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally knocked-over,
which could cause injury to you and serious damage to the machine.
Ensure that cables and cords leading to the machine are secured so as not to pose a tripping
hazard.
DO NOT place this machine on an unstable or tilted cart, stand, table or on any tilted/slanted
surface. The machine is heavy and may fall, causing injury to you and serious damage to the
machine.
IMPORTANT
• DO NOT place your machine next to sources of interference, such as speakers or the base
units of non-Brother cordless telephones. Doing so may interfere with the operation of the
machine's electronic components.
• DO NOT tip the machine after the ink cartridges are installed. Doing so may cause ink spillage
and internal damage to the machine.
• DO NOT connect your machine to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers. Disruption of power can delete information from the machine's memory, and repeated
cycling of the power can damage the machine.
