Troubleshooting
Use this section to resolve typical problems you may encounter when using your Brother machine. You can correct most problems yourself.

First, check the following:
- The machine's power cord is connected correctly and the machine's power is on. See the Quick Setup Guide.
- All of the protective materials have been removed. See the Quick Setup Guide.
- Paper is loaded correctly in the paper tray.
- The interface cables are securely connected to the machine and the computer, or the wireless connection is set up on both the machine and your computer.
