To get the best print quality, we suggest using  
Brother paper. (See the table below.)  
The print quality can be affected by the type  
of paper you use in the machine.  
If Brother paper is not available in your  
country, we recommend testing various  
papers before purchasing large quantities.  
2
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 Brother paper.  
When you print on inkjet paper (coated  
paper), transparencies and glossy paper,  
be sure to choose the correct print media  
in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in  
the Paper Type setting of the menu. (See  
When you print on Brother photo paper,  
load one extra sheet of the same photo  
paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has  
been included in the paper package for  
this purpose.  
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.

2
Up to 50 sheets of 80 gsm A4 paper.  
Store paper in its original packaging, and  
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and  
away from moisture, direct sunlight and  
heat.  
Transparencies and photo paper must be  
picked up from the output paper tray cover  
one page at a time to avoid smudging.  
Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of  
photo paper. Load photo paper with the  
shiny side facing down.  
Avoid touching either side of  
transparencies because they absorb  
water and perspiration easily, and this  
may cause decreased output quality.  
Transparencies designed for laser  
printers/copiers may stain your next  
document. Use only transparencies  
recommended for inkjet printing.  
IMPORTANT  
DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:  
• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or  
irregularly shaped paper

Replacing the ink  
cartridges  
IMPORTANT  
A
Brother multifunction machines are  
designed to work with ink of a particular  
specification and will work to a level of  
optimum performance and reliability when  
used with genuine Brother Original ink  
cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this  
optimum performance and reliability if ink  
or ink cartridges of other specifications are  
used. Brother does not therefore  
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.  
recommend the use of cartridges other  
than genuine Brother Original cartridges  
or the refilling of used 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.  
Note  
For example, when one of the ink  
cartridge is nearly empty, the LCD will  
display Ink low (name of colour).  
You should purchase a replacement  
cartridge in preparation for when the  
machine indicates the colour is completely  
empty.  
A
When one of the ink cartridge is empty,  
the LCD will display Cannot Print or  
B&W Print Only.  
a Open the ink cartridge cover.  
If one or more ink cartridges have  
reached the end of their life, the LCD  
shows Cannot Print or  
You should only replace the actual ink  
cartridge when this message  
Cannot Print or B&W Print Only  
appears on the LCD.  
B&W Print Only.  
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 to replace  
an ink cartridge, 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.

IMPORTANT  
• 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 gets on your skin or clothing  
immediately wash it off with soap or  
detergent.  
• 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.  
• 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.

• If the LCD shows No Ink Cartridge or  
Cannot Detect after you install the ink  
cartridges, check that the ink cartridges  
are installed correctly.  
CAUTION  
If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with  
water at once and call a doctor if you are

If faded or streaked colours and text appear  
on your output, some of the nozzles may be  
clogged. You can check this by printing the  
Print Quality Check Sheet and looking at the  
nozzle check pattern.  
Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you  
get a horizontal line in the text or graphics, or  
blank text on your printed pages. You can  
clean Black only, three colours at a time  
(Cyan/Magenta/Yellow), or all four colours at  
once.

What is Innobella™?  
Innobella™ is a range of genuine consumables offered by Brother.  
The name "Innobella™" derives from the words "Innovation" and  
"Bella" (meaning "Beautiful" in Italian) and is a representation of the  
"innovative" technology providing you with "beautiful" and "long  
lasting" print results.  
When you print photo images, Brother recommends Innobella™  
glossy photo paper (BP71 series) for high quality. Brilliant prints are  
made easier with Innobella™ Ink and paper.
