Install Ink

Gently push the ink cartridge until it clicks. After

all the ink cartridges are installed close the ink

cartridge cover.

Note

The machine will prepare the ink tube system for

printing. This process will take approximately four

minutes. Do not turn off the machine.

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 know the quantity of ink left in the

cartridge.

• DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink

stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap

or detergent at once.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the

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

the cartridge.

• If you mix the colors by installing an ink

cartridge in the wrong position, clean the

print head several times after correcting the

cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the

print head in Appendix B of the User’s

Guide.)

• 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 machine. We also strongly recommend

that you continue to use only Genuine

Brother Brand replacement ink cartridges.

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

Branded Supplies.

Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine

when choosing the Fax/Tel mode.
