Frequently Asked Questions - MPrint MW-260 BROTHER
How do I connect the Brother MPrint MW-260 to my computer?
The MPrint MW-260 uses an infrared (IrDA) port for connectivity. On Windows, you can install the virtual USB driver if you use the optional cradle. Ensure your laptop has an IrDA port or use a USB IrDA adapter.
What type of paper does the MW-260 use?
This printer uses direct thermal paper, available in rolls of 4 inches (100 mm) width. Do not use regular paper as it will not print properly.
How do I change the paper roll?
Open the paper cover, remove the empty core, insert a fresh thermal roll with the print side facing down, then close the cover and feed the paper under the roller.
Why is my print quality faded or uneven?
The print head may be dirty. Clean it gently with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol. Also, ensure the paper is properly installed and the batteries are fully charged.
How can I clean the print head?
Turn off the printer, open the paper cover, and use a lint-free swab slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol to wipe the heating line. Allow it to dry before printing.
What batteries does the MW-260 take?
It takes six AA alkaline batteries. Rechargeable NiMH batteries may also work but check the manual for recommended types.
Can I print from a smartphone?
The MW-260 is designed for PDAs and laptops with IrDA connectivity. It does not support Bluetooth directly, so a smartphone would require a USB IrDA adapter or a compatible cradle.
What drivers do I need?
Download the latest Windows driver from Brother's website. The printer also supports Pocket PC drivers for mobile devices.
How do I troubleshoot paper jams?
Turn off the printer, open the cover, and gently pull out the jammed paper. Check for any debris in the paper path and ensure the paper roll is not overfilled.
Is there a way to reset the printer?
Yes, turn off the printer, remove all batteries, wait 30 seconds, then reinsert batteries and turn on. This will clear most communication errors.
