Store paper in its original packaging, and  
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and  
away from moisture, direct sunlight and  
heat.  
Paper capacity of the output paper  
tray  
2
Up to 50 sheets of 20 lb Letter or 80 gsm A4  
paper.  
The coated side of photo paper is shiny.  
Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side.  
Load photo paper with the shiny side  
facing down.  
Transparencies or photo paper must be  
picked up from the output paper tray one  
page at a time to avoid smudging.  
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.

memory drive folder structure  
When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the  
PhotoCapture Center™ will print all the  
valid images, even if one or more images  
have been corrupted. A portion of the  
corrupted image may be printed. The  
corrupted image will not be deleted.

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:  
(Memory card users)  
The image file extension must be .JPG  
(Other image file extensions like .JPEG,  
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be  
recognized).  
Your machine is designed to read memory  
cards that have been formatted by a digital  
camera.  
4
PhotoCapture Center™ printing without  
using a PC must be performed separately  
from PhotoCapture Center™ operations  
using the PC. (Simultaneous operation is  
not available.)  
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.  
IBM Microdrive™ is not compatible with  
the machine.  
The machine can read up to 999 files on a  
memory card.

Replacing the ink cartridges  
B
d Take out the protective yellow cap (1).  
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.  
1
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.  
Improper Setup  
DO NOT touch the area shown in the  
illustration below.  
a Open the ink cartridge cover.  
If one or more ink cartridges are empty,  
for example Black, the LCD shows

Replace Ink.  
b Pull the lock release lever and take out  
the ink cartridge for the colour shown on  
the LCD.  
Note  
If the protective yellow caps come off  
when you open the bag, the cartridge will  
not be damaged.

f Lift each lock release lever and push it  
until it clicks, and then close the ink  
cartridge cover.  
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.  
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.  
g The machine will automatically reset the  
ink dot counter.  
Note  
• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for  
example Black, before the LCD shows  
Near Empty Blackor  
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.  
B
Ink Empty Black, the LCD will ask you  
to verify that it was a brand new one  
(Did You Change Blck?). For each  
new cartridge you installed, press a (Yes)  
to automatically reset the ink dot counter  
for that colour. If the ink cartridge you  
installed is not a brand new one, be sure  
to press b (No).  
DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink  
cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out  
of the cartridge.  
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 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 the LCD shows No Cartridgeafter  
you install the ink cartridge, check that the  
ink cartridges are installed properly.  
WARNING  
If ink gets in your eyes, wash them out with  
water at once and call a doctor if you are  
concerned.

Consumable items

Ink  
The machine uses individual Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta ink  
cartridges that are separate from the print head assembly.  
Service Life of Ink  
Cartridge  
Replacement Ink Cartridges  
The first time you install the ink cartridges the machine will use extra  
ink to fill the ink delivery tubes. This is a one-time process that  
enables high quality printing. Afterward, replacement ink cartridges  
will print the specified number of pages.  
Black - Approximately 350 pages at 5% coverage  
Yellow, Cyan and Magenta - Approximately 300 pages at 5%  
coverage  
The above figures assume continuous printing at a resolution of  
600 x 600 dpi in normal mode after installing a 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.

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 (BP61GL series) for high quality. Brilliant prints  
are made easier with Innobella™ Ink and paper.
