Ink Absorber NearFull / InkBox NearFull / Absorber NearFull
The error message "Ink Absorber NearFull" or "InkBox NearFull" or "Absorber NearFull" is an indication that the machine has a problem.
Cause
The ink absorber box or flushing box is nearly 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. The more cleaning the machine requires the faster these boxes will fill up.
Repairs resulting from the use of non-Brother supplies may not be covered under the stated product warranty.
To solve the problem:
The ink absorber box or flushing box will need to be replaced. Contact Brother Customer Service from the "Contact Us" section.
