Checking The Ink Volume - Brother MFC4820C Service Manual

CAUTION
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 printer will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.
DO NOT shake the ink cartridges, because the ink may spill when you take off the sealing
tape.
If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with soap or detergent immediately.
If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong color position, you must clean the print head
several times before you start printing (after correcting the cartridge installation) because the
colors were mixed.
Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of
installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge
package.
Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the ink cartridges provided with your
machine. We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Brand
replacement ink cartridges. Using or attempting to use potentially incompatible inks and/or
cartridges in your machine may cause damage to the machine itself and/or it may result in
unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that was
caused by the use of unauthorized third party ink and/or cartridges. To protect your investment
and guarantee your print quality please continue to replace consumed ink cartridges with only
Genuine Brother Branded Supplies.
NOTE: If the INK EMPTY message is on the display after you have installed ink cartridges,
check that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.
