To turn on your Brother printer, locate the ON/OFF switch and ensure it is connected correctly to a power source.
Turning on your Brother printer is a simple process, mainly involving locating the power switch and verifying the power connection.
Finding the Power Switch
Most Brother machines have a dedicated ON/OFF switch.
- Location: The ON/OFF switch is typically located on the lower right side of the machine. Look for a button or rocker switch in this area.
Once you find the switch, press or flip it to the 'ON' position.
Verifying the Power Connection
Before attempting to turn on the printer, it's crucial to ensure it's properly connected to power.
- Step 1: Verify that the power cord is connected to the Brother machine. Ensure the cord is securely plugged into the power port on the printer.
- Step 2: Verify that the power cord is connected directly to a power outlet. Avoid using surge protectors, power strips, or power switches if possible, as they can sometimes interfere with the power supply.
- Important: If the power cord is currently connected to a surge protector or power switch, remove the cord from the device and connect it directly to a wall outlet. This ensures the machine receives a stable and sufficient power supply.
Here's a quick summary of the steps:
