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 that is loaded in
the tray.
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 correct print media
in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in
the Paper Type setting of the menu. (See
Paper Type uu page 19.)
Recommended print media 2
2
To get the best print quality, we suggest using
Brother paper. (See the table below.)
If Brother paper is not available in your
country, we recommend testing various
papers before purchasing large quantities.
We recommend using “3M Transparency
Film” when you print on transparencies.

When you print on Brother Photo paper,
load one extra sheet of the same photo
paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has
been included in the paper package for
this purpose.
When printing on transparencies, load
one extra sheet in the paper tray.
When you use transparencies or photo
paper, remove each sheet at once to
prevent smudging or paper jams.
Avoid touching the printed surface of the
paper immediately after printing; the
surface may not be completely dry and
may stain your fingers.

Handling and using print media 2
Store paper in its original packaging and
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and
away from moisture, direct sunlight and
heat.
Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of
photo paper. Load photo paper with the
shiny side facing down.
Avoid touching either side of
transparencies because they absorb
water and perspiration easily, and this
may cause decreased output quality.
Transparencies designed for laser
printers/copiers may stain your next
document. Use only transparencies
recommended for inkjet printing.
Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover
Up to 50 sheets of 80 g/m2 A4 paper.
Transparencies and photo paper must be
picked up from the output paper tray cover
one page at a time to avoid smudging.

2
DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:
• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or
irregularly shaped paper
1 2 mm or greater curl may cause jams
to occur.
• Extremely shiny or highly textured
paper
• Paper that cannot be arranged
uniformly when stacked
• Short grain paper

IMPORTANT
Routine maintenance A
A
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 multifunction machines are
designed to work with ink of a particular
specification and will work to a level of
optimum performance and reliability when
used with Brother Original ink cartridges.
Brother cannot guarantee this optimum
performance and reliability if ink or ink
cartridges of other specifications are
used. Brother does not therefore
recommend the use of cartridges other
than Brother Original cartridges or the
refilling of used 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.
A
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.
37
Page 46
b Press the lock release lever as shown to
release the cartridge indicated on the
LCD. Remove the cartridge from the
machine.
d Turn the green release lever on the
orange protective packing (1) clockwise
until it clicks to release the vacuum seal.
Then remove the orange protective
packing as shown.

c Open the new ink cartridge bag for the
colour shown on the LCD, and then take
out the ink cartridge.

e Each colour has its own correct position.

the arrow on the label.

Note
IMPORTANT
marked “PUSH” until it clicks, and then
close the ink cartridge cover.
g The machine will automatically reset the
ink dot counter.
• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for
example Black, the LCD may ask you to
verify that it was a brand new one (for
example, Did You Change Black).
For each new cartridge you installed,
press Yes to automatically reset the ink
dot counter for that colour. If the ink
cartridge you installed is not a brand new
one, be sure to press No.
Routine maintenance
• 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 colours 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.
• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink
cartridge; this can cause the ink to leak out
of the cartridge.
A
• If the LCD shows No Ink Cartridge or
Cannot Detect after you install the ink
cartridges, check that the ink cartridges
are brand new Original Brother and that
they are installed correctly.

Troubleshooting
Ink Absorber 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 your
local Brother Authorised Service
Centre to have your machine serviced.
Other reasons for cleaning are:
1 The machine automatically cleans
itself after sitting idle for more than
30 days (infrequent use).
2 The machine automatically cleans
itself after the ink cartridges have
been replaced 12 times.

printouts. This process will only happen once. After this process is
complete the cartridges provided with your machine will have a
lower yield than standard cartridges (80%). With all following ink
cartridges you can print the specified number of pages.
<Standard Yield Black> LC1220BK
<Standard Yield Yellow> LC1220Y
<Standard Yield Cyan> LC1220C
<Standard Yield Magenta> LC1220M
Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta - Approximately 300 pages

<High Yield Yellow> LC1240Y
<High Yield Cyan> LC1240C
<High Yield Magenta> LC1240M

What is Innobella™?
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.
