If you are having difficulty with your DCP If the copy looks good, the problem is probably not your DCP. Check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips. DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Printing Condensed print and horizontal streaks or the top and bottom of sentences are cut off. If the copy looks bad, clean the scanner area. If there is still problem, call Brother Customer Service at 1-800-284-4329 (in USA) or 1-877-BROTHER (in Canada) or your dealer for service. Poor quality print.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Software Difficulties Cannot install software or print. Run the MFC-Pro Suite Repair and Install program on the CD-ROM. This program will repair and reinstall the software. Cannot perform ‘2 in 1 or 4 in 1’ printing. Check that the paper size setting in the application and in the printer driver are the same. Cannot print when using Adobe Illustrator. Try to reduce the print resolution.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Print Quality Difficulties Printed pages are curled. Thin or thick paper below the standard can cause this problem. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the media type you use. (See Setting the Paper Type and Media Type in Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.) Printed pages are smeared. The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using—OR—The print media may be too thick or have a rough surface.
Improving the print quality This section provides information on the following topics: Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Check the printer’s environment. Conditions such as humidity, high temperatures, and so on may cause this print fault. (See Choosing a location on page x.) If the whole page is too light, Toner Save mode may be on. Turn off Toner Save mode in the printer Properties tab of the driver. —OR— If your DCP is not connected to a computer, turn off Toner Save mode in the DCP itself.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation If the problem is not solved after printing a few pages, the drum unit may have glue from label stock on the OPC drum surface. 3.7 in. (94 mm) 3.7 in. (94 mm) White Spots on black text and graphics at 3.7 in.

Examples of poor print quality ABCDEFGH abcdefghijk ABCD abcde 01234 Black toner marks across the page ABCDEFGH abcdefghijk ABCD abcde 01234 White lines across the page Recommendation The drum unit may be damaged. Put in a new drum unit. (See Replacing the drum unit.) Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications. (See About paper.) If you use label sheets for laser printers, the glue from the sheets may sometimes stick to the OPC drum surface. Clean the drum unit.
Examples of poor print quality Curl or wave B DEFGH abc efghijk A CD bcde 1 34 Wrinkles or creases Recommendation Check the paper type and quality. High temperatures and high humidity will cause paper to curl. If you don’t use the printer very often, the paper may have been in the paper tray too long. Turn over the stack of paper in the paper tray. Also, try fanning the paper stack and then rotating the paper 180° in the paper tray. Try printing using the straight-through output path.
Packing and shipping the DCP Whenever you transport the DCP, use the packing materials that came with your machine.

Replacing the toner cartridge The DCP can print up to 6,700 pages using a high yield toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is running low, the LCD shows Toner Low. The DCP is supplied with a standard toner cartridge that must be replaced after approximately 3,500 pages. Actual page count will vary depending on your average type of original (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.
How to replace the toner cartridge WARNING Just after you use the DCP, some internal parts of the machine will be extremely HOT! So, never touch the shaded parts shown in the illustration. HOT! 1 Open the front cover and pull out the drum unit.
