Replacing The Ink Cartridges - Brother DCP-310CN User Manual

Replacing the ink cartridges

Your DCP 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 DCP detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the DCP
will notify you with a message on the LCD.
The LCD will inform you 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 DCP informs you that an ink cartridge is empty,
there will be a small amount of ink remaining 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.
