A Routine Maintenance; Replacing The Ink Cartridges - Brother DCP-J140W Basic User's Manual

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