Replacing the Ink Cartridges

Your MFC is equipped with an ink dot counter that automatically monitors the ink level in each color cartridge. When the counter detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the MFC will notify you with a message on the LCD.

The display shows you which color cartridges are low or empty. Be sure to follow the display prompts so you replace the color cartridges in the appropriate order.

When the ink cartridges are running low, you must use Ink Management to begin the cartridge replacement (Steps 1–3). If the ink is empty, skip to Step 4.

Cleaning the MFC Printer Platen
