h Gently push the ink cartridge until it clicks. After
all the ink cartridges are installed close the ink
cartridge cover.
Note
The machine will prepare the ink tube system for
printing. This process will take approximately four
minutes. Do not turn off the machine.
IMPORTANT
• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not
need to replace them. If you do so, it may
reduce the ink quantity and the machine will
not know the quantity of ink left in the
cartridge.
• DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink
stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap
or detergent at once.
• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the
cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of
the cartridge.
• If you mix the colors by installing an ink
cartridge in the wrong position, clean the
print head several times after correcting the
cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the
print head in Appendix B of the User’s
Guide.)
• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in
the machine and use it up within six months
of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges
by the expiration date written on the
cartridge package.
• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink
cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out
of the cartridge.
• Brother strongly recommends that you do
not refill the ink cartridges provided with
your machine. We also strongly recommend
that you continue to use only Genuine
Brother Brand replacement ink cartridges.
Use or attempted use of potentially
incompatible ink and/or cartridges in the
Brother machine may cause damage to the
machine and/or may result in unsatisfactory
print quality. Our warranty coverage does
not apply to any problem that is caused by
the use of unauthorized third party ink
and/or cartridges. To protect your
investment and obtain premium
performance from the Brother machine, we
strongly recommend the use of Genuine
Brother Supplies.
