DO NOT remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the printer will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

DO NOT shake the ink cartridges because the ink may spill when you remove the sealing tape.

DO NOT refill the ink cartridges. Attempting to use refilled cartridges or the use of incompatible inks, may cause damage to the print heads in your product. Any such damages will not be covered by warranty. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by the use of 3rd party ink or 3rd party ink cartridges. We can only recommend the use of genuine Brother ink cartridges.

If the INK EMPTY message is on the display after you have installed ink cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.

If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with soap or detergent immediately.

If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong colour position, you must clean the print head several times before you start printing, after correcting the cartridge installation, because the colours were mixed.

Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridge by the expiry date printed on the box.
