Step 1 
Setting Up the Machine
•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 MFC 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.
■If you mix the colors 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 12-10 of the User’s Guide.)
■Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the MFC 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.
