Choosing a location

Place your machine and AC Adapter (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the unit") on a flat, level, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 41°F and 95°F (5°C and 35°C) and the humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).

For users using the AC Adapter (SA-AD-001):
The AC Adapter should be connected to an AC power source within the range indicated on Specifications in the Online User's Guide. DO NOT connect it to a DC power source or inverter. Doing this might cause an electrical shock or a risk of fire. If you are not sure what kind of power source you have, contact a qualified electrician.

DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses, moisture or dust.
DO NOT place the unit on a carpet or rug, as this will expose it to dust. Exposing the unit to dust may create a risk of an electrical short or fire. It may also damage the unit and/or render it inoperable.

DO NOT place the unit near heaters, air conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators, radiators, or water. Doing so may create the risk of a short circuit or fire should water come into contact with the unit (including condensation from heating, air conditioning, and/or ventilation equipment that may be sufficient to create a short circuit or fire).

DO NOT place the unit near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be spilled on it. Should chemicals come into contact with the unit, there may be a risk of fire or electrical shock. In particular, organic solvents or liquids such as benzene, paint thinner, polish remover, or deodorizer may melt or dissolve the plastic cover and/or cables, resulting in a risk of fire or electrical shock. These or other chemicals may also cause the unit to malfunction or become discolored.

The product should be placed so as not to come into contact with any wall or other device. Otherwise, it could create a risk of overheating and/or fire. Clearance is needed between the product and the wall.

Make sure that no part of the unit protrudes from the desk or stand where the unit is located. Make sure that the unit is located on a flat, level, and stable surface free from vibration. Failure to observe these precautions could cause the unit to fall, causing injury to you or to others and serious damage to the unit.

Avoid placing the unit in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic area, ensure that the unit is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally knocked over, which could cause injury to you or others and serious damage to the unit.

Ensure that cables and cords leading to the unit are secured so as not to pose a trip hazard.

• 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 connect the unit 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 unit.

To use the unit safely

There are high-voltage electrodes inside the machine and the AC Adapter. Before you access the inside of the machine, make sure you have unplugged the USB cable from the computer and the AC Adapter from the AC power outlet.

DO NOT push objects of any kind into the unit through slots or openings in the machine, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts.

DO NOT continue using the machine or the AC Adapter if it has been dropped or the machine has been damaged. Instead, unplug the USB cable from the computer and the AC Adapter from the AC power outlet and contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

If water, other liquids, or metal objects get inside the machine or the AC Adapter, immediately unplug the USB cable from the computer and the AC Adapter from the AC power outlet and contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

AC Adapter Safety (For users using the AC Adapter (SA-AD-001))

Only use the AC Adapter with the machine. Only plug the AC Adapter into a power outlet with voltage that is within the range indicated on Specifications in the Online User's Guide. Failure to do so may result in injury to yourself or others, or damage to the machine or other property. Brother does not assume any responsibility for any damage resulting from using an AC Adapter other than the one specified.

DO NOT use a damaged AC Adapter.

DO NOT damage, modify, or place heavy objects on the AC Adapter.

DO NOT forcibly bend or pull the cord of the AC Adapter. DO NOT drop, hit, or otherwise damage the AC Adapter.

DO NOT use or touch the unit during a thunderstorm when the AC Adapter is plugged in. There may be a risk of electrical shock from lightning when the machine is used during a thunderstorm.

When disconnecting the AC Adapter from the machine or from the power outlet, always hold the AC Adapter or the connector, not the cable, and pull firmly.
Failure to do so may result in exposed or broken cable wires and/or create a risk of fire.

If you notice any damage or abnormalities while using the AC Adapter, do not touch it. Disconnect the power supply from the AC power outlet in a safe manner, such as by turning off the breaker, and contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

Brother strongly recommends that you DO NOT use any type of extension cord.

Make sure that the AC Adapter is firmly plugged into a standard power outlet. Do not use an outlet that is loose. If the AC Adapter is not completely plugged into the power outlet and adapter block, the adapter may become hot and/or catch fire.

DO NOT exceed the rated input or output listed on the rated label on the AC Adapter.

DO NOT connect the AC Adapter to other products.

FIRE HAZARDS
Failure to follow the warnings in this section may create the risk of a fire.

When cleaning the inside or outside of the unit, DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray, any organic solvent, alcohol, ammonia, or any liquid that contains alcohol or ammonia. Doing this may cause a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Do not disassemble or modify the unit, otherwise fire or electrical shock may result. If the unit requires repair, contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

If the machine or the AC Adapter becomes hot, releases smoke, or generates any strong smells, immediately unplug the USB cable from the computer and the AC Adapter from the AC power outlet and call Brother Customer Service.

For users using the AC Adapter (SA-AD-001):
DO NOT touch the AC Adapter or handle the power plug with wet hands.

DO NOT put pressure or weight on the unit or use it for any purpose beyond its intended purpose.

Wait until pages have exited the machine before taking them out, or you could cause injury to your fingers by trapping them in a roller.

Be careful not to cut your fingers on the edge of the Carrier Sheet. The Carrier Sheet is not included, but is available as an optional accessory. Look for part number CS-A3301 on the Brother website.

Some areas of the machine can cause injury if the Cover (shaded area shown) is closed with force. Be careful when placing your hand in or near the shaded area.
