You can easily install them into your Windows® system using our installer program (see Quick Setup Guide).
Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplexing) The supplied printer driver for Windows® 95, 98, 98SE, Me and for Windows NT® Workstation Version 4.0 enables manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for 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.
Loading One Sheet of Paper You do not have to choose manual feed in the Setup dialog box of your printer driver. Insert the sheet of paper for Portrait (vertical) or Landscape (horizontal), with the side you wish to print on face up in the manual feed slot. 1 Align the paper at the centre of the manual feed slot, and be sure to insert the paper into the manual feed slot until the front edge of the paper touches the paper feed roller.
Printing on Thicker Paper and Card Stock When the rear cover is lifted up, the machine has a straight paper path from the manual feed slot to the rear of the printer. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on envelopes, thicker paper or card stock. 1 2 3 Select manual feed mode in the printer driver. 4 5 Adjust the manual feed paper guides to the width of the paper you are using. 6 After the machine ejects the printed page, return to Step 5 to insert the next sheet of paper.
Face Down Output Bin The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the output bin in the front of the machine. Pull out the output bin extension to support the printed pages. To prevent the possibility of transparencies smudging as they stack in the output bin, remove each transparency after it exits. Reset Key PRINTER/SCANNER Press this key to clear data from the memory.

Difficulty with Operation If you think there is a problem with the machine, check the table below and follow the troubleshooting tips. DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS General Printing Difficulties The machine does not print. Make sure the machine is turned on. The toner cartridge and drum unit are installed properly. The interface cable is securely connected between the machine and computer. Check to see if LCD is showing an error message. The machine prints unexpectedly or it prints garbage. Switch off.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS How can I clear paper jams? See Document Jams and Paper Jams, page 74. Copy Quality Difficulties Vertical streaks appear in copies Sometimes you may see vertical streaks on your copies. Either the scanner or the primary corona wire for printing is dirty. Clean them both. Print Quality Difficulties Printed pages are curled. Thin Paper (60-69 g/m2) can cause this problem. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the paper in your paper tray.
The whole page is printed black. Black Page Nothing is printed on the page. Clean the machine’s interior and the primary corona wire of the drum unit. (See Regular Maintenance, page 81 and Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 83.) Also, do not use heat-sensitive paper as it will cause this problem. After cleaning, if the printed pages are still black or the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one. The drum unit may be damaged. Make sure that the toner cartridge is not empty.
Packing and Shipping the Machine Whenever you transport the machine, use the packing materials that came with the machine. If you do not pack the machine correctly, you could void your warranty. 1 Switch off the machine. Do not turn off the machine until a print or copy job is finished. 2 3 Switch on the machine again. And leave it for 5 seconds. Lock the scanner lock lever. The blue scanner lock lever is on the left side of the machine. Press it backward to lock it.
5 Place the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly into the plastic bag and seal the bag completely. Plastic Bag Drum Unit Toner Cartridge 6 7 8 9 Close the front cover. Put the front output bin extension into position. Switch off and unplug the machine from the AC outlet. Unplug the Parallel cable or USB cable from the machine. Wrap the machine in the plastic bag and place it in the original carton with the original packing material.
Regular Maintenance You can keep the machine in optimum condition by cleaning it on a regular basis. It is a good idea to clean the drum unit during this routine. Avoid using thinners or other organic solvents to clean the machine and do not use water. Cleaning the Scanner Switch off and unplug the machine and lift the document cover. Clean the glass platen and white film with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth. White Film Document Cover Glass Platen Lift the ADF unit.
Cleaning the Printer • • • • 1 2 3 Do not use isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt from the control panel. It may cause a crack on the panel. Do not use isopropyl alcohol to clean the scanner window or the toner sensor. Do not touch the scanner window with your finger. Handle the drum unit carefully as it contains toner. If toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty, immediately wipe or wash it off with cold water. Switch off and unplug the machine. Open the front cover.
Cleaning the Drum Unit We recommend you place the drum unit on a drop cloth or large piece of disposable paper to avoid spilling and scattering toner. 1 Clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the tab from right to left several times. 2 Return the tab to the home position (▼ mark position) before reinstalling the drum unit. Tab Corona Wire Home Position ( ) If you do not position the tab at the home position, printed pages may have vertical stripes.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge The machine can print up to 6,000 pages using a high yield toner cartridge (TN-6600). When the toner cartridge is running low, the display shows CHANGE TONER. The machine is supplied with a standard toner cartridge (TN-6300) that must be replaced after approximately 3,000 pages. Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type. It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the toner low warning.
1 Open the front cover and pull out the drum unit. Place the drum unit on a drop cloth or large piece of disposable paper to avoid spilling and scattering the toner. 2 Hold down the lock lever on the right and pull the toner cartridge out of the drum unit assembly. MAINTENANCE Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, immediately wipe it off or wash them with cold water.
3 Unpack the new toner cartridge. Place the used toner cartridge into the aluminium bag and discard it according to local regulations. • • 4 Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it into the machine. If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long period of time, the toner life is shortened. You can use only a genuine Brother toner cartridge (TN-6300 or TN-6600), which is specially formulated to ensure top print quality.
6 Install the new toner cartridge into the drum unit until it clicks into place. Drum Unit Toner Cartridge 7 Clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab from right to left several times. Return the blue tab to the home position before reinstalling the drum unit assembly. Tab Corona Wire Home Position ( 8 ) Reinstall the drum unit into the machine and close the front cover.
Drum Life Considerations for Your Brother Machine Your Brother machine uses a drum and toner assembly for document printing. The toner life is directly dependent upon the amount of black printing on the printed pages. The estimated drum life is up to 20,000 A4 sized pages. Maintaining quality print during this period will depend on factors such as the number of pages printed per day, time between print jobs, the quality of the printing paper and the environment in which the machine is used.
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 genuine Brother toner, and the product should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.
3 Pull the toner cartridge out of the drum unit assembly while holding down the lock lever with your right hand. (See Replacing the Toner Cartridge, page 84.) Discard the used drum unit according to local regulations. Be sure to seal the drum unit tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the unit. When discarding used drum units, keep them separate from domestic rubbish. 4 Wait to unpack the new drum unit until immediately before installing it.
