Replacing the ink
cartridges
A
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot
counter. The ink dot counter monitors the
level of ink in each of the four cartridges.
When the machine detects an ink cartridge is
running out of ink, the machine will display a
message.
NOTE
For example, when one of the ink
cartridges is nearly at the end of its life, the
LCD will display
Ink Low XXXXXXX
(name of colour).
You should purchase a replacement
cartridge in preparation for when the
machine indicates the colour is completely
at the end of its life.
When one of the ink cartridges is at the
end of its life, the LCD will display
Cannot Print
or
B&W Print Only
.
You should only replace the actual ink
cartridge when this message
Cannot Print
or
B&W Print Only
appears on the LCD.
The LCD will show which ink cartridge is low
or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD
prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the
correct order.
Even though the machine tells you to replace
an ink cartridge, there will be a small amount
of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is necessary
to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to
prevent air from drying out and damaging the
print head assembly.
CAUTION
If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with
water at once and call a doctor if you are
concerned.
IMPORTANT
Brother multifunction machines are
designed to work with ink of a particular
specification and will work to a level of
optimum performance and reliability when
used with Brother Original ink cartridges.
Brother cannot guarantee this optimum
performance and reliability if ink or ink
cartridges of other specifications are
used. Brother does not therefore
recommend the use of cartridges other
than Brother Original cartridges or the
refilling of used cartridges with ink from
other sources. Damage to the product
caused by the use of consumables
manufactured by third parties may not be
covered by the product warranty. Please
refer to the terms of the product warranty.
