Note
• It is a good idea to keep a new ink cartridge ready for use when you see the Ink Low warning.
• To ensure high quality printing, we recommend that you use only Genuine Brother Brand ink cartridges.
• If you print graphics, bold text, charts, Web pages with borders, or other types of printouts that consist of
more than simple text, the amount of ink used will increase.
• If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker printing, the amount of ink used will change.
• Wait to unpack the ink cartridge until immediately before you put it into the machine.
Ink Low 5
If the LCD shows Ink Low, the machine has nearly run out of ink. Buy a new ink cartridge and have it ready
before you get a Insufficient Ink message.
Replace Ink 5
When the LCD shows Insufficient Ink, you need to replace the ink cartridge.
The machine will not print until you replace the ink cartridge.
A new or unused genuine Brother ink cartridge will reset the Replace Ink mode.
Even though the machine tells you to replace an ink cartridge, there will be a small amount of ink left in the
ink cartridge. The printer’s ink cartridge uses both Black ink and Pre-coat to ensure print quality. Therefore if
either the Black ink or the Pre-coat runs out, the cartridge can no longer be used and the printer cannot print,
even if there is some of the other ink remaining in the cartridge.
CAUTION
If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.
