Before Using Your Printer for the First Time
1-1. Be sure to read the following notes before using the printer
Keep in mind the following points before using the printer:
Precautions for proper use

Keep the printer powered on the printer for 24 hours a day.
Even when the printer is placed in standby mode, it performs such maintenance as white ink circulation inside
the main unit automatically to prevent sedimentation of the white ink.

Use the printer within the scope covered by its warranty for the best print result (temperature: 18 to
30°C (64.4 to 86°F) and humidity: 35 to 85%).
Otherwise, the print heads may be clogged with ink and ink may splash.

Adjust the height of the platen according to the print medium before using it.
Adjust the height so that it is lowered by one step from the limit height detected by the obstacle sensor, and
check that the platen is not detected by the obstacle sensor.

Do not excessively lower the platen.
Otherwise, ink mist will be scattered inside the printer, which may result in staining of the printing surface,
blurring of the printed image, and malfunction of the sensor and the main unit.


Never power off the printer or open the cover while the printer is in operation.
Otherwise, the printer may break down or a print job may end up in failure.

Until the ink is firmly fixed on the surface of a T-shirt, do not touch the T-shirt.
If a T-shirt is soiled with such ink that has not been firmly fixed on its surface, such ink stain cannot be removed
even by washing.
About ink cartridge

Insert each of the cartridges into the hole of the same color as the printer seal.

Shake the white ink well once a day immediately before use. (Shake each cartridge approximately 100
times.)
Otherwise the white ink may precipitate.

Never pull out any cartridges while the printer is operating.
Otherwise, the print quality may deteriorate or the printer may break down.

Store consumable goods in a place where they are not exposed to direct sunlight.

Use up the ink pouch and solutions before their shelf life.
Also, use up each ink pouch within six months after opening their sealed packages.
Use of an expired ink pouch may make you liable for the cost of repairs even during the guarantee period.

Do not refill into or disassemble the ink pouch.
In order to use the printer for a long period and to take full advantage of its capabilities, we recommend to use
the ink pouches and solutions specified by Brother.
In cases where the printer malfunctions due to the use of a non-genuine ink pouch, you may be liable for the
cost of repairs even during the guarantee period.
