TROUBLESHOOTING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 15 - 19
Caution
■ DO NOT remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace
them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the printer
will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.
■ DO NOT shake the ink cartridges, because the ink may spill.
■ If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with soap or detergent
immediately.
■ If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong colour position, you
must clean the print head several times before you start printing
(after correcting the cartridge installation) because the colours
were mixed.
■ Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the DCP and use it up
within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by
the expiration date written on the cartridge package.

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.
If you still cannot solve a problem with your DCP, call Brother
Customer Service.
If the INK EMPTY message is on the display after you have
installed ink cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are
installed correctly.
