consult a doctor if you are concerned.
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 when
you take off the sealing tape.
■
If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with soap or detergent
immediately.
■
If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong color position, you must
clean the print head several times before you start printing (after
correcting the cartridge installation) because the colors were mixed.
■
Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the MFC and use it up
within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by
the expiration date written on the cartridge package.
■
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.
If you still cannot solve a problem with your MFC, call Brother
Customer Service (See Brother numbers, page i.).
If the
INK EMPTY
message is on the display after you have installed
ink cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.
