How to change the ink cartridges in your Brother printer

BrotherIf you’re looking to change an ink cartridge on your Brother printer you’re in luck! Brother printers are not like most printers that make it complicated to change the ink cartridges. It can be very easy after you have done it a couple of times, but first you will need to practice and a little bit of time.
Here’s how you will begin:

  1. Look at the LCD panel – One of the advantages of the Brother printer is that it will let you know when they need to be changed. On the LCD panel you will see an empty cartridge message, telling you that it needs to be changed. It’s also very important that you do not change the cartridges too early. Otherwise you risk the chance of wasting expensive ink, because the brother printer cannot correctly tell how close your cartridge is to empty. The Brother printer will also be able to tell what ink color was changed.
  2. Find the release lever inside the cartridge that needs to be removed – Next you have to pull the lever, so that it effectively removes the empty cartridge. Once you have released the empty cartridge, you’re ready for the next step.
  3. Replace the cartridge with a new cartridge – Take the new ink cartridge out of its packaging bag and pull the yellow cap off of the cartridge. It’s important that you do not touch the insertion slot, or you risk staining your skin from the ink.
  4. Lock the ink cartridge into the printer – Make sure that you’re properly installing the cartridge. To make a proper installation put the cartridge into the printer case in the same direction that the arrow is facing.
  5. Finally you need to install the ink dot counter of your printer – After you’re replaced the cartridge in your brother printer, you will be asked if it’s a new cartridge. You’ll see the message of the LCD screen. To accept all that you have to do press up on the directional keys.

The Brother printer is one of the most forgiving printers on the consumer market. You just need to make sure that you pay proper attention to the LCD screen, and what it tells you to do. With a little bit of time and practice, you will slowly get better at learning how to replace the ink cartridges when they’re empty.
