If you clean the print head and the print has not improved, try installing a new Genuine Brother Brand replacement ink cartridge for each issue color. Try cleaning the print head again. If the print has not improved, contact Brother Customer Service from "Contact Us".
We do not recommend frequent unplugging and re-plugging of the machine and/or leaving the machine unplugged for extended periods of time.
To maintain premium print quality, our product is designed to automatically clean the print head periodically. When the machine is unplugged, it will not complete the periodic cleanings needed to ensure ink does not dry in the print head and may cause poor print quality.
We recommend using the On/Off button to power down the machine. Using the On/Off button allows minimal power to the machine ensuring periodic cleanings of the print head occur only when necessary and needed information remains in memory.
- Cleaning the print head consumes ink. Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.
- DO NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause permanent damage and may void the print head's warranty.
-
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 issue 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.
