Routine maintenance B
Replacing the ink cartridges B
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.
