Scannable area The scannable area depends on the settings in the application you are using. The figures below show the areas you cannot scan on Letter and A4 paper.

Acceptable paper and other media The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you are using in the machine. To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load. You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes. We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities. For best results, use the Brother paper. # When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and photo paper, be sure to choose the correct media in the ‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu. = When you print on Brother photo paper, load the instruction sheet included with the photo paper in the paper tray first, and then put the photo paper on the instruction sheet. # When you use transparencies or photo paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams. # Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

Recommended media To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.) If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities. We recommend using ‘3M Transparency Film’ when you print on transparencies. Brother paper Paper Type Item A4 Plain BP60PA A4 Glossy Photo BP61GLA A4 Inkjet (Matte) BP60MA 10 x 15 cm Glossy BP61GLP Handling and using media # Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat. m The coated side of photo paper is shiny. Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down. # Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing. Loading documents and paper DO NOT use the following kinds of paper: + Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 2mm or longer + Extremely shiny or highly textured paper + Paper already printed on by a printer + Paperthat cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked + Paper made with a short grain Paper capacity of the output paper tray Up to 50 sheets of 20 Ib Letter or 80 g/m?

Routine maintenance Replacing the ink cartridges Your machine is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the 4 cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will tell you with a message on the LCD. The LCD will tell you which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the correct order. Even though the machine tells you that an ink cartridge is empty, there will be a small amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly. M] Open the ink cartridge cover. If one or more ink cartridges are empty, for example Black, the LCD shows Ink Empty Black and Replace Ink. M2] Pull the lock release lever and take out the ink cartridge for the colour shown on Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance [3] Open the new ink cartridge bag for the colour shown on the LCD, and then take out the ink cartridge.

Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of the arrow on the label.

C6] Lift each lock release lever and push it until it clicks, and then close the ink cartridge cover. C7] The machine will automatically reset the ink dot counter. Note + If you replaced an ink cartridge, for example Black, before the LCD shows Near Empty Black or Ink Empty Black, the LCD will ask you to verify that it was a brand new one (Did You Change Blck?). For each new cartridge you installed, press 4 (Yes) to automatically reset the ink dot counter for that colour. If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, be sure to press Y (No). Ifthe LCD shows No Cartridge after you install the ink cartridge, check that the ink cartridges are installed properly. Ifink gets in your eyes, wash them out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.

@ caurion DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge. DO NOT touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your skin. Ifink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once. If you mix the colours by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation. Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months ofinstallation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package. DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge. Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother Branded ink cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if ink or ink cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother Branded cartridges or the refilling of empty cartridges with ink from other sources. If damage is caused to the print head or other parts of this machine as a result of using incompatible products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.

Consumable items Ink Service Life of Ink Cartridge Replacement Consumables What is Innobella""? The machine uses individual Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges that are separate from the print head assembly. Replacement Ink Cartridges The first time you install the ink cartridges the machine will use extra ink to fill the ink delivery tubes. This is a one-time process that enables high quality printing. Afterward, replacement ink cartridges will print the specified number of pages. Black - Approximately 350 pages at 5% coverage Yellow, Cyan and Magenta - Approximately 300 pages at 5% coverage m The above figures assume continuous printing at a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi in normal mode after installing a new ink cartridge. m The number of pages a cartridge will print may change depending on how often you use the machine and how many pages you print with each use. # The machine will automatically and periodically clean the print head assembly, a process that uses a small amount of ink. # When the machine identifies a cartridge as empty there may be a small amount of ink left in it. This is necessary to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly. <Black> LC970BK, <Yellow> LC970Y, <Cyan> LC970C, <Magenta> LC970M Innobella'" is a range of genuine consumables offered by Brother. The name "Innobella M" derives from the words "Innovation" and e Dm "Bella" (meaning "Beautiful" in Italian) and is a representation of the innobella “innovative" technology providing you with "beautiful“and “long ne |: lasting” print results. When you print photo images, Brother recommends Innobella TM glossy photo paper (BP61GL series) for high quality. Brilliant prints are made easier with InnobellaT" Ink and paper.
