when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly,
you can protect yourself when you want to move
your machine by disconnecting the telephone line
first and then the power cord.

Cleaning
• 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.
• 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.
Using or attempting to use
potentially incompatible inks
and/or cartridges in your
machine may cause damage to
the machine itself and/or it may
result in unsatisfactory print
quality. Our warranty coverage
does not apply to any problem
that was caused by the use of
unauthorized third party ink and/
or cartridges. To protect your
investment and guarantee your
print quality please continue to
replace consumed ink cartridges
with only Genuine Brother
Branded Supplies.
Please Wait
■
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” on page 12-11 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.
■
If INK EMPTY shows on the LCD after you
install the ink cartridges, check to make
sure the ink cartridges are installed
correctly.
