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
