• DONOTshaketheinkcartridges.

If ink stains your body or

clothing, wash with soap or

detergent immediately.

• Brother multifunction machines

are designed to work with ink of

a particular specification and

work to a level of optimum

performance when used with

genuine Brother 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 cartridges with

this machine or the refilling of

empty cartridges with ink from

other sources. If damage is

caused to the print head or other

parts of this machine as a result

of the use of ink or ink cartridges

other than genuine Brother

products due to the

incompatibility or lack of

suitability of those products with

this machine, any repairs

required as a result will not be

covered by the warranty.

• DO NOT insert and remove the

cartridges repeatedly. If you do

so, the ink may seep out of the

cartridge.
