Acceptable paper and
other media

To get the best print quality, we suggest using
Brother paper. (See table below.)
The print quality can be affected by the type
of paper you are using in the machine.
If Brother paper is not available in your
country, we recommend testing various
papers before purchasing large quantities.
To get the best print quality for the settings
you have chosen, always set the Paper Type
to match the type of paper you load.
We recommend using ‘3M Transparency
Film’ when you print on transparencies.
You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated
paper), glossy paper, transparencies and
envelopes.

For best results, use the Brother paper.
„ When you print on inkjet paper (coated
paper), transparencies and glossy paper,
be sure to choose the correct media in the
‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in the
Paper Type setting of the menu.
„ When you print on Brother photo paper,
load the instruction sheet included with the
photo paper in the paper tray first, and
then put the photo paper on the instruction
sheet.
„ When you use transparencies or photo
paper, remove each sheet at once to
prevent smudging or paper jams.
„ Avoid touching the printed surface of the
paper immediately after printing; the
surface may not be completely dry and
may stain your fingers.

„ Your machine is designed to read memory

Memory card folder structure
5
Your machine is designed to be compatible
with modern digital camera image files and
memory cards; however, please read the
points below to avoid errors:
When a digital camera formats a memory
card it creates a special folder into which it
copies image data. If you need to modify
the image data stored on a memory card
with your PC, we recommend that you do
not modify the folder structure created by
the digital camera. When saving new or
modified image files to the memory card
we also recommend you use the same
folder your digital camera uses. If the data
is not saved to the same folder, the
machine may not be able to read the file or
print the image.
„ The DPOF file on the memory card must
be in a valid format. (See DPOF
„ The image file extension must be .JPG
(Other image file extensions like .JPEG,
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be
recognized).

„ PhotoCapture Center™ printing without
using a PC must be performed separately
from PhotoCapture Center™ operations
using the PC. (Simultaneous operation is
not available.)
„ IBM Microdrive™ is not compatible with

Replacing the ink cartridges
B
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot
counter. The ink dot counter automatically
monitors the level of ink in each of the 4
cartridges. When the machine detects an ink
cartridge is running out of ink, the machine
will tell you with a message on the LCD.
The LCD will tell you which ink cartridge is low
or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD
prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the
correct order.
Even though the machine tells you that an ink
cartridge is empty, there will be a small
amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is
necessary to keep some ink in the ink
cartridge to prevent air from drying out and
damaging the print head assembly.
g Push the paper tray firmly back into the
machine. While holding the paper tray in
place, pull out the paper support (1) until
it clicks and unfold the paper support
flap (2).
a Open the ink cartridge cover.
If one or more ink cartridges are empty,
for example Black, the LCD shows
Ink Empty Black.
b Pull the lock release lever down and
take out the ink cartridge for the colour
shown on the LCD.

WARNING
Brother multifunction machines are
designed to work with ink of a particular
specification and will work to a level of
optimum performance when used with
genuine Brother Branded ink cartridges.
Brother cannot guarantee this optimum
performance if ink or ink cartridges of other
specifications are used. Brother does not
therefore recommend the use of cartridges
other than genuine Brother Branded
cartridges or the refilling of empty
cartridges with this machine or the refilling
of empty cartridges with ink from other
sources. If damage is caused to the print
head or other parts of this machine as a
result of using incompatible products with
this machine, any repairs required as a
result may not be covered by the warranty.
If ink gets in your eyes, wash them out with
water at once and call a doctor if you are
concerned.
CAUTION
DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do
not need to replace them. If you do so, it
may reduce the ink quantity and the
machine will not know the quantity of ink left
in the cartridge.
DO NOT touch the cartridge insertion slots.
If you do so, the ink may stain your skin.
If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with
soap or detergent at once.
Cleaning the outside of the
machine
B
If you mix the colours by installing an ink
cartridge in the wrong position, clean the
print head several times after correcting the
cartridge installation.
CAUTION
Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with
volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine
will damage the outside surface of the
machine.
Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in
the machine and use it up within six months
of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges
by the expiration date written on the
cartridge package.
DO NOT use cleaning materials that
contain ammonia.
DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink
cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out
of the cartridge.
DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol to remove
dirt from the control panel. It may crack the
panel.

„ The first time you install a set of ink cartridges the machine will
use an amount of ink to fill the ink delivery tubes for high quality
print outs. This process will only happen once. With all following
ink cartridges you can print the specified number of pages.
„ The above figures assume continuous printing at a resolution of
600 x 600 dpi in normal mode after installing new ink cartridge.
„ The number of pages a cartridge will print may change
depending on how often you use the machine and how many
pages you print with each use.
„ The machine will automatically and periodically clean the print
head assembly, a process that uses a small amount of ink.
„ When the machine identifies a cartridge as empty there may be
a small amount of ink left in it. This is necessary to prevent air
from drying out and damaging the print head assembly.
