Frequently asked questions

'Request Help' provides a time and cost-effective way for system administrators or service partners to provide you with practical information and advice for your Brother device. Requests for technical assistance can be made directly from a network connected Brother machine’s menu. Such requirements are then emailed to your system administrator or preferred service partner.

If you are unsure of the qualifying criteria or compatibility, we recommend that you contact your Channel partner or Brother office to get started.
