• To prolong the life of the print head, provide the

best ink cartridge economy and maintain print

quality, we do not recommend unplugging the

machine frequently and/or leaving the machine

unplugged for extended periods of time. Each

time you plug the machine in, it automatically

cleans the print head, which uses some of your

ink.

We recommend using to power down the

machine. Using allows minimal power to

the machine, resulting in periodic, but less

frequent, cleaning of the print head.

included with your machine first.

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not

need to replace them. If you do so, it may

reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the

cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the

cartridge.

• 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.

• Brother strongly recommends that you do not

refill the ink cartridges provided with your

you continue to use only Genuine Brother

attempted use of potentially incompatible ink

cause damage to the machine and/or may
