the slot color (A) with the cartridge color (B),

The machine will clean the ink tube system
for use for the first time. This process will
occur only once, the first time ink cartridges
are installed. The cleaning process will last
approximately four minutes.
The LCD shows:
• DO NOT remove 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 body or
clothing, wash with soap or
detergent immediately.
• DO NOT insert and remove the
cartridges repeatedly. If you do
so, the ink may seep out of the
cartridge.
• 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.
Using or attempting to use
potentially incompatible inks
and/or cartridges in your
machine may cause damage to
the machine itself and/or it may
result in unsatisfactory print
quality. Our warranty coverage
does not apply to any problem
that was caused by the use of
unauthorized third party ink and/
or cartridges. To protect your
investment and guarantee your
print quality please continue to
replace consumed ink cartridges
with only Genuine Brother
Branded Supplies.
If Install shows on the LCD after you
install the ink cartridges, check to make sure
the ink cartridges are installed correctly.

■If you mix the colors by installing an ink
cartridge in the wrong position, you must
clean the print head by running several
cleaning cycles after correcting the
cartridge installation. (See “Cleaning the
print head” in chapter 12 Troubleshooting
and Routine Maintenance 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.
