Preserving Ink Cartridges

For long life and optimum performance:
Do NOT unpack a new ink cartridge until you are ready to
install it.
Do NOT remove an ink cartridge from the MFC except to
clean, replace or exchange it. Protect the Black or Photo ink
cartridge while it is not being used, by placing it in a cartridge
container so it will not dry out.
Leave an empty ink cartridge in the MFC until you are ready
to replace it. Printing with an empty cartridge carrier slot may
cause problems.
Do not refill ink cartridges. Refilling empty ink cartridges
voids your warranty. Incompatible inks can cause damage to
the MFC. Use only genuine Brother ink cartridges.
