Error Message Ink Absorber Full Ink low Low Temperature No Ink Cartridge Cause The ink absorber box or flushing box is full. These components are periodic maintenance items that may require replacement after a period of time to ensure optimum performance from your Brother machine. Because these components are periodic maintenance items, the replacement is not covered under the warranty. The need to replace these items and the time period before replacement is dependent on the number of purges and flushes required to clean the ink system. These boxes acquire amounts of ink during the different purging and flushing operations. The number of times a machine purges and flushes for cleaning varies depending on different situations. For example, frequently powering the machine on and off will cause numerous cleaning cycles since the machine automatically cleans itself upon power up. The use of non-Brother ink may cause frequent cleanings because non-Brother ink could cause poor print quality, which is resolved by cleaning. The more cleaning the machine requires, the faster these boxes will fill up. Action The ink absorber box or flushing box will need to be replaced. Call Brother Customer Service or a Brother Authorized Service Center to have your machine serviced. (See Brother numbers on page i.) Other reasons for cleaning are: 1 After a paper jam has been cleared, the machine automatically cleans itself. 2 The machine automatically cleans itself after sitting idle for more than 30 days (infrequent use). 3 The machine automatically cleans itself after ink cartridges of the same color have been replaced 12 times. NOTE Repairs resulting from the use of non-Brother supplies may not be covered under the stated product warranty. One or more of the ink cartridges are near the end of their life. The room temperature is too low. An ink cartridge is not installed correctly. Order a new ink cartridge. You can continue printing until the LCD displays Cannot Print. (See Ordering accessories and supplies on page ii and Replacing the ink cartridges on page 32.) After warming the room, allow the machine to warm up to room temperature. Try again when the machine has warmed up. Take out the new ink cartridge and re-install it slowly and firmly until it latches. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 32.) 42
