Brother® One-Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service 
(USA Only)
The repaired or replacement Machine and/or
accompanying Consumable and Accessory
Items will be returned to you freight prepaid or
made available for you to pick up at a
conveniently located Authorized Service
Center.
If the Machine and/or accompanying
Consumable and Accessory Items are notcovered by this warranty (either stage), you will

accompanying Consumable and AccessoryItems back to you and charged for any service
and/or replacement parts/products at Brothers
then current published rates.
The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and
exclusive remedies under this warranty.
What happens when Brother elects to
replace your Machine:
When a replacement Machine is authorized by
Brother, and you have delivered the Machine to
an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized
Service Center will provide you with a
replacement Machine after receiving one from
Brother. If you are dealing directly with Brother’s
Express Exchange Service Brother will send to
you a replacement Machine shipped for receipt
within two business days, with the
understanding that you will, after receipt of the
replacement Machine, supply the required proof
of purchase information, together with the
Machine that Brother agreed to replace. You are
then expected to pack the Machine that Brother
agreed to replace in the package from the
replacement Machine and return it to Brother
using the pre-paid freight bill supplied by Brother
in accordance with the instructions provided by
Brother. Since you will be in possession of two
machines, Brother will require that you provide
a valid major credit card number. Brother will
issue a hold against the credit card account
number that you provide until Brother receives
your original Product and determines that your
original Product is entitled to warranty coverage.
Your credit card will be charged up to the cost of
a new Product only if: (i) you do not return your
original Product to Brother within five (5)
business days; (ii) the problems with your
original Product are not covered by the limited
warranty; (iii) the proper packaging instructions
are not followed and has caused damage to the
product; or (iv) the warranty period on your
original Product has expired or has not been
sufficiently validated with a copy of the proof of
purchase (bill of sale). The replacement Machine you receive (even if
refurbished or remanufactured) will be covered
by the balance of the limited warranty period
remaining on the original Product, plus an
additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the
replacement Machine that is sent to you and
your original Machine shall become the property
of Brother. 
Retain your original Accessory
Items and a copy of the return freight bill,
signed by the courier.

Brother is not responsible for damage to or loss
of any equipment, media, programs or data
related to the use of this Product. Except for the
repair or replacement as described above,
Brother shall not be liable for any direct, indirect,
incidental or consequential damages or specific
relief. Because some states do not allow theexclusion or limitation of consequential or

OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL,
WHETHER EXPRESSED BY AFFIRMATION,
PROMISE, DESCRIPTION, DRAWING,
MODEL OR SAMPLE. ANY AND ALL
WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THIS ONE,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY

BROTHER MULTIFUNCTION CENTER® / FAX MACHINE
LIMITED WARRANTY 
(Canada only)
Pursuant to the limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts, Brother
International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its Authorized Service Centres, will repair or
replace (at Brother’s sole discretion) this MFC/Fax machine free of charge if defective in material or
workmanship. This warranty applies only to products purchased and used in Canada.
This limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without limitation, ink cartridges, print
cartridges, print rolls, thermal paper rolls, toner cartridges, drum units, OPC belts, fixing units, print heads, paper
feed rollers, transfer rolls, cleaning rollers, waste toner packs, oil bottles) or damage caused by accident, neglect,
misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or
tampering by anyone other than a Brother Authorized Service Representative, or if shipped out of the country. 
The use of supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products may void your warranty. This limited
warranty ceases when this machine is rented, sold, or otherwise disposed of. Operation of the MFC/Fax machine
in excess of the specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed abuse and
all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. 
In order to obtain warranty service, the MFC/Fax machine must be delivered or shipped freight prepaid by the
end-user/purchaser to a “Brother” Authorized Service Centre, together with your Canadian Proof of Purchase in
the form of a Sales Receipt.
When shipping or transporting your MFC/Fax machine, please refer to your Operation Manual for the proper
packaging procedures.
For Laser units: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit, waste toner packs or oil bottles on
applicable models) during shipping or transport will cause severe damage to the Laser MFC/Fax machine and
will void the Warranty. 
For inkjet units: (When shipping your Inkjet MFC/Fax machine remove the ink cartridges and replace them with
the original protective parts. If original protective parts are not available, leave ink cartridges installed. Please
avoid shipping the unit without original protective parts or ink cartridges.) Damage to your print head resulting from
packing the Inkjet MFC/Fax machine without the ink cartridges or the protective parts will void your warranty. 
Improper packaging may cause severe damage to the machine during shipping and will void the warranty.
BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATIONS, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY
WAIVED.
No oral or written information, advice or representation provided by Brother, its Authorized Service Centres,
Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty or modify this warranty. The warranty
states Brother’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the MFC/Fax machine
to operate properly.
Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this
MFC/Fax machine shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or
punitive damages, including lost profits, arising from the use of or inability to use the product, even
if advised by the end user/purchaser of the possibility of such damages. Since some Provinces do
not allow the above limitation of liability, such limitation, may not apply to you.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from
Province to Province.
Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized Service Centres
throughout Canada. For Technical Assistance or for the name and
location of your nearest Authorized Service Centre call 1-877-BROTHER.
