If you still see missing ink in this Print Quality Check Sheet, repeat
the cleaning and test print procedures at least five times. If ink is still
missing after the fifth cleaning and test print, replace the ink cartridge
for the clogged color. (Perhaps the ink cartridge was in your machine
over six months or the expiration date written on the cartridge
package has passed. Or, the ink may not have been stored properly
before use.)

and test print procedures at least five times for the new ink cartridge.
If ink is still missing, call Brother Customer Service (see Brother
numbers on page i).
