Brother MFC-J430W Replacing the ink cartridges

A Routine maintenance

Replacing the ink cartridges

Your machine is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the

four cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will display a message on the LCD.

Note

For example, when one of the ink cartridges is nearly empty, the LCD will display Ink low (name of color).

You should purchase a replacement cartridge in preparation for when the machine indicates the color is completely empty.

When one of the ink cartridges is empty, the LCD will display Cannot Print or B&W Print Only.

You should only replace the actual ink cartridge when this message Cannot Print or B&W Print Only appears on the LCD.

The LCD will show 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.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance and reliability when used with Brother Original ink cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance and reliability if ink or ink cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges or the refilling of used cartridges with ink from other sources. If damage is caused to the print head or other parts of this machine as a result of using incompatible products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.

a Open the ink cartridge cover.

If one or more of the ink cartridges have reached the end of their life, the LCD shows B&W Print Only or Cannot Print.

If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.
