3.1 Printing Documents

To print from your computer, open the document you wish to print, select Print from the application's menu, choose the Brother DCP-T720DW as your printer, and adjust settings as needed before clicking Print. For mobile printing, use the Brother iPrint&Scan app or other compatible mobile printing services like Apple AirPrint or Mopria Print Service.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Checking Ink Levels and Refilling

Regularly check the ink levels through the transparent ink tanks on the front of the printer or via the printer's LCD display. Refill tanks when ink levels are low to prevent air from entering the ink tubes, which can affect print quality.

4.2 Cleaning the Print Head

If print quality degrades (e.g., missing lines, faded colors), perform a print head cleaning. From the printer's menu, navigate to Maintenance or Ink, then select Cleaning. Follow the on-screen prompts. You may need to perform this multiple times for optimal results.

4.3 Cleaning the Scanner Glass

Dust or smudges on the scanner glass can cause lines or spots on scanned or copied documents. Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with glass cleaner to wipe the scanner glass and the white plastic backing. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the glass.

4.4 Clearing Paper Jams

If a paper jam occurs, the printer's LCD will display an error message. Carefully open the printer covers as indicated in the error message and gently pull out any jammed paper in the direction of the paper path. Ensure no small pieces of paper remain inside.
