• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not

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 Appendixes 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 multifunction machines are

designed 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 or other parts of this machine as a

result of using incompatible products with

this machine, any repairs required as a

result may not be covered by the warranty.
