It is listed for official service manual Screw Torque List (Chapter 3) specifies Taptite Bind B M4x12 screws for T1 tray cover, side cover L, and side cover R assembly with tightening torque 0.8±0.1 N·m.
Head and drive, as the source states them: binding head.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from mcgrp.ru.
An M4 screw is 4 mm in diameter with a 0.7 mm pitch, tapped with a 3.3 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Check whether the mount uses a VESA pattern or a vendor bracket before buying screws.
- Diameter: across the threads an M4 screw measures about 4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.7 mm from one thread crest to the next (14.29 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: for binding head screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- The record states 12 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M4 heads take PH2 for Phillips and T20 for Torx, and a 3 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
Common mix-ups with M4
- Manual gives torque only, not screw length/drive type — verify physically before sourcing replacements.
- US-made pinball machines (Williams/Bally/Stern) overwhelmingly use imperial UTS threads (#6-32, #8-32, #10-32); explicit metric threads only appear on newer/import components such as Jersey Jack Pinball's Hobbit Smaug assembly (M3).

Questions about Brother DCP-8110D laser printer screws
- What size screw does Brother DCP-8110D laser printer use?
- M4 × 12 mm for official service manual Screw Torque List (Chapter 3) specifies Taptite Bind B M4x12 screws for T1 tray cover, side cover L, and side cover R assembly with tightening torque 0.8±0.1 N·m.
- How long are the screws in Brother DCP-8110D laser printer?
- The record gives 12 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
- What is the thread pitch of an M4 screw?
- 0.7 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M4 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 3.3 mm and the normal clearance hole is 4.5 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Brother DCP-8110D laser printer?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M4, Phillips heads normally take PH2 and Torx heads T20; socket heads take a 3 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M4?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same. Use a true M4 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
- How tight should the M4 screw on Brother DCP-8110D laser printer be?
- The source gives 0.1 N·m for official service manual Screw Torque List (Chapter 3) specifies Taptite Bind B M4x12 screws for T1 tray cover, side cover L, and side cover R assembly with tightening torque 0.8±0.1 N·m.
