Ink Absorber Full
The ink absorber box is full. These
components are periodic maintenance
items that may require replacement after
a period of time to ensure optimum
performance from your Brother machine.
Because these components are periodic
maintenance items, the replacement is
not covered under the warranty. The need
to replace these items and the time period
before replacement is dependent on the
number of purges and flushes required to
clean the ink system. These boxes
acquire amounts of ink during the different
purging and flushing operations. The
number of times a machine purges and
flushes for cleaning varies depending on
different situations. For example,
frequently powering the machine on and
off will cause numerous cleaning cycles
since the machine automatically cleans
upon power up.
The ink absorber box must be replaced.
Contact Brother customer service or your
local Brother Authorised Service Centre to
have your machine serviced.
Ink Low
The ink level is low. If the sending
