Acceptable paper and other print media
The print quality can be affected by the type
of paper you use in the machine.
To get the best print quality for the settings
you have chosen, always set the Paper Type
to match the type of paper you load.
You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated
paper), glossy paper, transparencies and
envelopes.
We recommend testing various paper types
before buying large quantities.
For best results, use Brother paper.
When you print on inkjet paper (coated
paper), transparencies and glossy paper,
be sure to choose the proper print media
in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in
the Paper Type setting of the machine’s
menu. (See Paper Type uu page 14.)
Recommended print media 2

Replacing the ink cartridges
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot
counter. The ink dot counter automatically
monitors the level of ink in each of the
four cartridges. When the machine detects an
ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine
will display a message on the LCD.
The LCD will show which ink cartridge is low
or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD
prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the
correct order.
Even though the machine tells you to replace
an ink cartridge, there will be a small amount
of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is necessary
to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to
prevent air from drying out and damaging the
print head assembly.
If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with
water at once and call a doctor if you are
concerned.
A
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. Use or attempted use of
potentially incompatible ink and/or
cartridges in the Brother machine may
cause damage to the machine and/or may
result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our
warranty coverage does not apply to any
problem that is caused by the use of
unauthorized third-party ink and/or
cartridges. To protect your investment and
obtain premium performance from the
Brother machine, we strongly recommend
the use of Genuine Brother Supplies.
a Open the ink cartridge cover.
If one or more of the ink cartridges have
reached the end of their life, the LCD
shows B&W Print Only or
Cannot Print.

clicks, and then close the ink cartridge
cover.
g The machine will automatically reset the
ink dot counter.
• 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 touch the cartridge insertion
slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your
skin.
• If ink gets on your skin or clothing
immediately wash it off with soap or
detergent.
• If you mix the colors by installing an ink
cartridge in the wrong position, clean the
print head several times after correcting
the cartridge installation.
• 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.
• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for
example Black, the LCD may ask you to
verify that it was a brand new one
(Did You Change Blck?). For each
new cartridge you installed, press a (Yes)
to reset the ink dot counter for that color. If
the ink cartridge you installed is not a
brand new one, be sure to press b (No).
• If the LCD shows No Cartridge or
Cannot Detect after you install the ink
cartridges, check that the ink cartridges
are installed properly.
• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink
cartridge; this can cause the ink to leak out
of the cartridge.

Cleaning and checking the machine
Cleaning the scanner glass A
a Unplug the machine from the AC power
outlet.
b Lift the document cover (1). Clean the
scanner glass (2) and the white
plastic (3) with a soft lint-free cloth
moistened with a non-flammable glass
cleaner.
Cleaning the print head A
A
To maintain good print quality, the machine
will automatically clean the print head when
needed. You can start the cleaning process
manually if there is a print quality problem.
Clean the print head if you get a horizontal
line in the text or graphics, or blank text on
your printed pages. You can clean Black only,
three colors at a time
(Yellow/Cyan/Magenta), or all four colors at
once.
Cleaning the print head consumes ink.
Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.
DO NOT touch the print head. Touching
the print head may cause permanent
damage and may void the print head's
warranty.
A
In addition to cleaning the scanner glass
with a non-flammable glass cleaner, run
your finger tip over the glass to see if you
can feel anything on it. If you feel dirt or
debris, clean the glass again
concentrating on that area. You may need
to repeat the cleaning process three or
four times. To test, make a copy after each
cleaning attempt.

problem color. Try cleaning the print head
again up to five more times. If the print has
not improved call Brother Customer
Service. (See Brother numbers

Ink Box Full The ink absorber box or flushing box 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 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.
The ink absorber box or flushing box
will need to be replaced. Contact
Brother Customer Service or a Brother
Authorized Service Center to have
your machine serviced. (See Brother
numbers uu page i.)
Other reasons for cleaning are:
1 The machine automatically cleans
itself after clearing a printer jam.
2 The machine automatically cleans
itself after sitting idle for more than
45 days (infrequent use).
3 The machine automatically cleans
itself after the ink cartridges have
been replaced 12 times.
Repairs resulting from the use of
non-Brother supplies may not be
covered under the stated product
warranty.

What is Innobella™?
Starter ink cartridges are in the box. The first time you install the ink
cartridges the machine will use extra ink to fill the ink delivery tubes.
This is a one-time process that enables high quality printing.
Afterward, replacement ink cartridges will print the specified
number of pages. Starter cartridge yield is approx. 65% of the yield
of the LC61 replacement cartridges.
<Standard Yield Black> LC61BK
<Standard Yield Yellow> LC61Y
<Standard Yield Cyan> LC61C
<Standard Yield Magenta> LC61M
Black - Approximately 450 pages
Yellow, Cyan, Magenta - Approximately 325 pages

Approx. cartridge yield is declared in accordance with ISO/IEC 24711

Innobella™ is a range of genuine consumables offered by Brother.
The name "Innobella™" derives from the words "Innovation" and
"Bella" (meaning "Beautiful" in Italian) and is a representation of the
"innovative" technology providing you with "beautiful" and "long
lasting" print results.
When you print photo images, Brother recommends Innobella™
glossy photo paper (BP71 series) for high quality. Brilliant prints are
made easier with Innobella™ Ink and paper.
