Take care to match the color of the lever a  
with the cartridge color b, as shown in the  
diagram below.  
IMPORTANT  
• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not

reduce the ink quantity and the machine will  
not know the quantity of ink left in the  
cartridge.  
Install each ink cartridge in the direction of the  
arrow on the label.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the  
cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of

• If you mix the colors by installing an ink  
cartridge in the wrong position, clean the  
print head several times after correcting the  
cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the  
print head in Appendix A of the Basic User’s  
Guide.)  
• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in  
the machine and use it up within six months  
of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges

of the cartridge.  
• 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

Choose the correct Receive Mode  
7
The correct Receive Mode is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services (Voice Mail,  
Distinctive Ring, etc.) you have (or will be using) on the same line as the Brother machine.  
For details, see Using Receive Modes in chapter 5 of the Basic User’s Guide.  
Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?  
Brother uses the term “Distinctive Ring” but telephone companies may have other names for this service such  
as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Call, and Smart Ring. See Distinctive  
Ring in chapter 6 of the Basic User’s Guide for instruction on setting up your machine using this feature.  
Will you be using Voicemail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?  
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong possibility that  
Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. See Voice Mail  
in chapter 6 of the Basic User’s Guide for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.  
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?  
Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are  
stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose External TADas your receive mode. See  
the instructions below. For additional details, see Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) in  
chapter 6 of the Basic User’s Guide.  
Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?  
Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Onlyas your receive mode. See the  
instructions below.  
Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?  
Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?  
The Fax/Telreceive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the same  
line. Choose Fax/Telas your receive mode. See the instructions below. For additional information see  
Fax/Tel in chapter 5 of the Basic User’s Guide for instructions on setting up and using this receive mode.  
Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine  
when choosing the Fax/Telmode.  
Do you expect to receive very few faxes?  
Choose Manualas your receive mode. You control the phone line and must answer every call yourself.

For wireless network interface users  
Before you begin

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network access  
point/router. After the machine is configured to communicate with your access point/router, computers on your  
network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the  
drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.  
To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the  
network access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two  
devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.  
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and  
applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you  
may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer or USB for the fastest throughput speed.  
Although the Brother MFC-J825DW/J835DW can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the  
connection methods can be used at a time.  
Note  
If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine you must reset the network (LAN)  
settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.  
On your machine, press Menu. Press Network.  
Press a or b to display Network Reset, and then press Network Reset.
