What paper types can I use with the Manual Feed Slot?

The Manual Feed Slot supports plain paper, thin paper, recycled paper, bond paper, thick paper, labels, and envelopes. You should use both hands to insert one sheet at a time, and continue pressing the paper against the rollers for about two seconds until the machine grabs and pulls it in. If printing on labels or envelopes, open the back cover (face up output tray) before printing so the paper exits onto the face up output tray. (Page 12)

How do I turn off the DCP-B7500D printer?

Turn off the machine by pressing and holding the Power button. The LCD will display [Shutting Down] and remain on for a few seconds before turning off. (Page 9)

3

What should I check first if my DCP-B7500D is not working properly?

First, verify that the machine's power cord is connected correctly and the power is on, and that all orange protective parts have been removed. Also check that paper is inserted correctly in the paper tray, interface cables are securely connected, and the machine's status is shown as normal in the Brother Status Monitor. For network models, confirm that the access point, router, or hub is turned on and the link indicator is blinking. (Page 13)

What do the different icon colors in the Brother Status Monitor mean?

A green icon indicates the normal stand-by condition, a yellow icon indicates a warning, and a red icon indicates an error has occurred. A grey icon means the machine is offline. You can double-click the Status Monitor icon in the task tray to access it, and click the Troubleshooting button to access Brother's troubleshooting website. (Page 13)
