Replacing the ink 
cartridges
A
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot 
counter. The ink dot counter automatically 
monitors the level of ink in each of the 4 
cartridges. When the machine detects an ink 
cartridge is running out of ink, the machine 
will tell you with a message on the LCD.
The LCD will tell you 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.
IMPORTANT
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.
 
aOpen the ink cartridge cover.
If one or more ink cartridges have 
reached the end of their life, the LCD 
shows B&W Print Only or 
Cannot Print.
bPress the lock release lever as shown to 
release the cartridge for the color 
indicated on the LCD. Remove the 
cartridge from the machine.
 
 
cOpen the new ink cartridge bag for the 
color shown on the LCD, and then take 
out the ink cartridge.

dTurn the green knob on the protective 
yellow cap clockwise until it clicks to 
release the vacuum seal, then remove 
the cap (1).
 
 
eEach color has its own correct position. 
Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of 
the arrow on the label.
 
fGently push in the ink cartridge until it 
clicks, and then close the ink cartridge 
cover.
 
gThe machine will automatically reset the 
ink dot counter.
Note
• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for 
example Black, the LCD may ask you to 
verify that it was a brand new one (for 
example, Did You Change Black). 
For each new cartridge you installed, 
press +(Yes) to automatically reset the 
ink dot counter for that color. If the ink 
cartridge you installed is not a brand new 
one, be sure to press - (No).
• If the LCD shows No Ink Cartridge or 
Cannot Detect after you install the ink 
cartridges, check that the ink cartridges 
are installed properly.
 
CAUTION 
If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with 
water at once and call a doctor if you are 
concerned.

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 touch the cartridge insertion 
slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your 
skin.
• If ink gets on your skin or clothing 
immediately wash it off with soap or 
detergent.
• 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.
• 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.
