• 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 ink stains your body or
clothing, wash with soap or
detergent immediately.
• DO NOT dismantle or tamper
with the ink cartridge, this can
cause the ink to leak out of the
cartridge.
• Brother inkjet machines are
designed to work with ink of a
particular specification and work
to a level of optimum
performance when used with
genuine Brother ink cartridges.
Brother cannot guarantee this
optimum performance if ink or
ink cartridges of other
specifications are used. Brother
does not therefore recommend
the use of cartridges other than
genuine Brother cartridges with
this machine or the refilling of
empty cartridges with ink from
other sources. If damage is
caused to the print head or other
parts of this machine as a result
of the use of ink or ink cartridges
other than genuine Brother
products due to the
incompatibility or lack of
suitability of those products with
this machine, any repairs
required as a result will not be
covered by the warranty.
• DO NOT insert and remove the
cartridges repeatedly. If you do
so, the ink may seep out of the
cartridge.
■
If you mix the colours by installing an ink
cartridge in the wrong position, you must
clean the print head by running several
cleaning cycles after correcting the
cartridge installation. (See “Cleaning the
print head” in chapter 5 Troubleshooting
and Routine Maintenance of the User’s
Guide.)
■
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.
