is full. These components are
periodic maintenance items that may
require replacement after a period of
time to ensure optimum performance
from your Brother machine. Because
these components are periodic
maintenance items, the replacement
is not covered under the warranty.
The need to replace these items and
the time period before replacement is
dependent on the number of purges
and flushes required to clean the ink
system. These boxes acquire
amounts of ink during the different
purging and flushing operations. The
number of times a machine purges
and flushes for cleaning varies
depending on different situations. For
example, frequently powering the
machine on and off will cause
numerous cleaning cycles since the
machine automatically cleans itself
upon power up. The use of
non-Brother ink may cause frequent
cleanings because non-Brother ink
could cause poor print quality, which
is resolved by cleaning. The more
cleaning the machine requires, the
faster these boxes will fill up.
NOTE
Repairs resulting from the use of
non-Brother supplies may not be
covered under the stated product
warranty.
The ink absorber box or flushing box
is nearly full.
One or more of the ink cartridges are
near the end of their life. If one of the
colour ink cartridges is near the end
of its life and someone is sending you
a colour fax, your machine's
"handshake" will ask that the fax be
sent as monochrome. If the sending
machine has the ability to convert it,
the colour fax will be printed at your
machine as a monochrome fax.
Action
The ink absorber box or flushing box
must be replaced. Contact Brother
customer service or your local
Brother Authorised Service Centre to
have your machine serviced.
Other reasons for cleaning are:
1 After a paper jam has been
cleared, the machine
automatically cleans itself before
the next received fax page is
printed.
2 The machine automatically cleans
itself after sitting idle for more than
30 days (infrequent use).
3 The machine automatically cleans
itself after ink cartridges of the
same colour have been replaced
12 times.
The ink absorber box or flushing box
must be replaced soon.
Contact Brother customer service or
your local Brother dealer.
Order a new ink cartridge. You can
continue printing until the
Touchscreen displays
Cannot Print.
