Why does my Brother MFC-J245 All in One Printer only print in B&W and says 'Replace XX Ink'?
If your Brother All in One Printer is only printing in black and white and displaying a 'Replace XX Ink' message, it means that one or more of the colour ink cartridges have reached the end of their life. Replace the ink cartridges.
What to do if my Brother All in One Printer cannot detect ink cartridge?
Your Brother All in One Printer may not detect the ink cartridge for several reasons. If you installed a new ink cartridge too quickly, remove it and reinstall it slowly and firmly until the cartridge lever lifts. If you are using non-Brother Original ink, replace it with a Brother Original ink cartridge. If the error message persists, contact Brother customer service or your local Brother dealer.
