The ink absorber box is nearly full. The ink absorber box must be replaced
soon. Call Brother Customer Service or a
Brother Authorized Service Center to
have your machine serviced.
Ink Absorber Pad Full
The ink absorber box is full. These
components are periodic maintenance
items that may require replacement after
a period of time to ensure optimum
performance from your Brother machine.
Because these components are periodic
maintenance items, the replacement is
not covered under the warranty. The need
to replace these items and the time period
before replacement is dependent on the
number of purges and flushes required to
clean the ink system. These boxes
acquire amounts of ink during the different
purging and flushing operations. The
number of times a machine purges and
flushes for cleaning varies depending on
different situations. For example,
frequently powering the machine on and
off will cause numerous cleaning cycles
since the machine automatically cleans
upon power up. The use of non-Brother
ink may cause frequent cleanings
because non-Brother ink could cause
poor print quality which is resolved by
cleaning. The more cleaning the machine
requires, the faster these boxes will fill up.
Repairs resulting from the use of non-
Brother supplies may not be covered
under the stated product warranty.
The ink absorber box must be replaced.
Call Brother Customer Service or a
Brother Authorized Service Center to
have your machine serviced.
Reasons for cleaning are:

itself after you remove the power cord
and plug it back in.

the machine automatically cleans itself
before the next received page is
printed.
3. The machine automatically cleans
itself after sitting idle for more than 30
days (infrequent use).
4. The machine automatically cleans
itself after ink cartridges of the same
color have been replaced 12 times.
