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.
