Follow the steps below to replace the ink cartridge:

NOTE: Illustrations shown below are from a representative product, and may differ from your Brother machine.

1. Open the ink cartridge cover (1). If one or more of the ink cartridges needs replacing, the machine's display (hereinafter called LCD) displays Black and White Print Only or Replace Ink.
   
   
    

   If the black ink cartridge is empty, the only message that will appear is Replace Ink. You must replace the black ink cartridge.

2. Press the lock release lever to release the cartridge colour indicated on the LCD and remove the cartridge from the machine, as shown in the illustration.
   
   
   
    
3. Open the new ink cartridge bag for the colour indicated on the LCD, and take out the ink cartridge.
   • DO NOT touch the cartridge in the area indicated (1); this can prevent the machine from detecting the cartridge.
     
     
   • Quickly shake just the black ink cartridge horizontally 15 times as shown, before inserting it into the machine.
     
     
4. Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of the arrow on the label. Each colour has its own correct position.
   
   
    
5. Gently push the area marked "PUSH" until the ink cartridge locks into place, and then close the ink cartridge cover.

6. Verify the colour of the replaced ink cartridge according to the instructions on the machine's display. The machine will automatically reset the ink dot counter.
