Ink Absorber Pad Full
The ink absorber box or flushing 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 use of non-Brother ink may cause
frequent cleanings because non-Brother
The ink absorber box or flushing box must
be replaced. Contact Brother customer
service or your local Brother Authorised
Service Centre to have your machine
serviced.

3. The machine automatically cleans
itself after sitting idle for more than 30

4. The machine automatically cleans
itself after ink cartridges of the same
