Cleaning

iiiii

Preparing System Approx 4 Minutes

Caution

• DO NOT take out 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 skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the cartridge.

• If you mix the colours by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the print head in Appendix B 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.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

• Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother branded 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 branded 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 using incompatible products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.
