Inserting the lnk Cartridges
If ink gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and seek medical
attention if required.
• 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 machine will not know the
quantity of ink left in the cartridge.
• DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If you do so, the ink may spill when you
take off the sealing tape. If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with
soap or detergent immediately.
• DO NOT refill the ink cartridges. Attempting to use refilled cartridges and
using incompatible inks may cause damage to the print head in this
machine and such damage 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 consumables.
I If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong colour position, you must clean the
print heads several times after correcting the cartridge installation and before
you start printing 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.
I If the INK EMPTY XXXX error message is on the screen display after you have
installed the ink cartridges, check and make sure that the ink cartridges are
installed correctly.
