Replace Ink

Follow the steps below to replace the ink cartridge:

If the ink gets into your eye, rinse it with water immediately. If left as is, it may cause redness or mild inflammation of the eye. In case of any abnormality, consult with your doctor.

We recommend using genuine Brother supplies to ensure stable print quality and performance. Although not all non-genuine supplies may cause quality issues, using non-Brother supplies or refilling ink cartridges with third party ink, may adversely affect print quality or cause the machine to malfunction. The Brother limited warranty does not apply to any problem caused by the use of third party supplies.
The color ink cartridges run out of ink even though you never or rarely print in color.

Open the ink cartridge cover (1).
Press the lock release lever to release the ink cartridge and remove the ink cartridge from the machine, as shown in the illustration.
Open the new ink cartridge bag, and take out the ink cartridge.

DO NOT touch the ink cartridge in the area indicated (1); this can prevent the machine from detecting the cartridge.
Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of the arrow on the label. Each color has its own correct position.
Gently push the area marked "PUSH" until the ink cartridge locks into place, and then close the ink cartridge cover.

- DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.
- DO NOT remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them; otherwise, the machine will not know the ink quantity left in the cartridge.
- DO NOT touch the ink cartridge insertion slots; the ink may stain your skin.
- Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the ink cartridge package.
- DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge; this can cause the ink to leak out of the ink cartridge.
