A/B) that is no more than 16 feet (five meters)
long.

• To prolong the life of the print head, provide the
best ink cartridge economy and maintain print
quality, we do not recommend unplugging the
machine frequently and/or leaving the machine
unplugged for extended periods of time. Each
time you plug the machine in, it automatically
cleans the print heads, which uses some of
your ink.
We recommend using to power down the
machine. Using allows minimal power to
the machine, resulting in periodic, but less
frequent, cleaning of the print heads.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the

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.

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.
