After installing the ink cartridges, close the top cover and control panel cover. The machine
prepares for a "head cleaning" and goes online. The display screen prompts you to verify a new
ink cartridge was inserted for each colour you removed. Example: DID YOU CHANGE BLCK

If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, please make sure to select 2.

For each new cartridge, press 1 on the dial pad to reset the ink dot counter for that colour
automatically.
The machine will enter a cleaning cycle for approximately three minutes for each replaced
cartridge. The display alternately shows CLEANING, and PLEASE WAIT.
When the machine completes the cleaning cycle, the display returns to Standby mode (date and
time).
If ink gets in your eyes, irrigate them with water immediately and consult a
doctor if you are concerned.
• 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 damages 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.
I If the INK EMPTY message is on the display after you have installed ink
cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.
I If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with soap or detergent immediately.
I 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.
I 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.
