cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print

head several times after correcting the

cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the print

• 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.

to work with ink of a particular specification

and will work to a level of optimum

performance when used with genuine Brother

branded ink cartridges. Brother cannot

guarantee this optimum performance if ink or

ink cartridges of other specifications are used.

Brother does not therefore recommend the use

of cartridges other than genuine Brother

branded cartridges with this machine or the

refilling of empty cartridges with ink from other

sources. If damage is caused to the print head
