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 repeatedly insert and remove the 
cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the 
cartridge.
• 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.
• 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.
