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 touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your skin.
If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.
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.
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. Use or attempted use of
potentially incompatible ink and/or cartridges in the Brother machine may cause damage to the machine and/or may result in
unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of unauthorized
third party ink and/or cartridges. To protect your investment and obtain premium performance from the Brother machine, we
strongly recommend the use of Genuine Brother Supplies.
