Fuser Unit & Transfer Roll Cartridge Handling Precautions
■ Never touch the labeled area found on or near the heat roller. You can get burnt. To avoid
injuries or burns, if a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it by
yourself. Switch off the printer immediately, and contact
Brother Customer Service.
■ Be sure to switch off and unplug the printer before accessing the interior of the printer for
cleaning, maintenance, or fault clearance. Access to a live printer’s interior can cause electric
shock.
■ Never throw a transfer roll cartridge into a naked/open flame. It can cause an explosion and you
can get burnt.
