Did you ever open its manual? Brother ships a plastic bag with such things as
driver disc, manual, warranty registration card and such with its printers.
Generally these things have a copyright date on or in them somewhere. From the
paper manuals from my two most recent Brother acquisitions:
MFC-J480DW - © 2015
MFC-8910DW - © 2012
The one for my HL-5470DW is more effectively squirreled since I moved. Its pdf
manual has no date near its front or back that I could spot, but the timestamp on
it is 122 months ago, same as a freshly downloaded copy.
