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 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 genuine 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 genuine Brother Original cartridges 
or the refilling of used cartridges with ink 
from other sources. If damage is caused 
to the print head or other parts of this 
machine as a result of using incompatible 
products with this machine, any repairs 
required as a result may not be covered by 
the warranty.
 
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 indicated on the 
LCD. Remove the cartridge from the 
machine.
 
 
cOpen the new ink cartridge bag for the 
colour shown on the LCD, and then take 
out the ink cartridge.
Routine maintenanceA
 
						

							32
dTurn the green knob on the protective 
yellow cap clockwise until it clicks to 
release the vacuum seal, then remove 
the cap (1).
 
 
eEach colour has its own correct position. 
Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of 
the arrow on the label.
 
fGently push the ink cartridge in 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 colour. 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 correctly.
 
CAUTION 
If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with 
water at once and call a doctor if you are 
concerned.
