Indicator Warnings
Head or motor is cooling down
The print head or motor is too hot.
Print head:
If the print head becomes too hot, it may produce imaging on the paper in areas not intended to be printed. This condition is normal when printing a large number of documents with a high print density.
The printer will stop, then resume printing after the print head has cooled down.
To avoid or delay the onset of this condition, print using a lighter density setting, reduce the amount of black areas being printed (for example, remove background shading and colors in graphs and presentation documents). Also, make sure that the printer has adequate ventilation and is not located in an enclosed space.
Motor:
If the printer is used continuously, the motor will become too hot. In this case, the printer will stop and resume printing after the motor has cooled down.
This condition may occur more often when the printer is used at a high altitude (above 3,048 m / 10,000 feet) due to the lower air density available to cool the printer.
In these cases, turn off the printer, and then turn it on again.
A system error has occurred.
If this condition occurs, turn off the printer, and then contact your reseller or Brother Customer Service.
Printer is in boot mode.
The AC adapter was unplugged while the firmware was being updated, and the printer started up in boot mode the next time it was started.
This issue must be resolved. Contact your reseller or Brother Customer Service for assistance.
