Replacing The Ink Cartridges - Brother MFC-580 Owner's Manual

Replacing the Ink Cartridges

The machine is equipped with an optical sensor that automatically monitors the ink level in each
colour cartridge. When the sensor detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will
notify you with a message on the LCD.
The display shows you which colour cartridges are low or empty. Be sure to follow the display
prompts so you replace the colour cartridges in the appropriate order.
When the ink cartridges are running low, you must use the Ink key to begin the cartridge
replacement (Steps 1–3). If the ink is empty, skip to Step 3.
