Brother: Change printer cartridges - so it'll work
If you want to change the printer cartridges on your Brother printer, you can do this in just a few simple steps. We show you how to do this in this practical tip.
Change the print cartridge on the Brother - this is how you proceed
Before you begin, turn on the printer. This prevents the ink from drying out.
- To access the cartridges, you must flip up the printer cover. The cartridges are automatically moved to the center.
- Depending on the model, you must either release a lock or press the cartridges out of the holder. You can find details on this in the manual.
- Once you have removed the old cartridge, remove the protective film from the new cartridge before inserting it. In principle, you should only unpack the cartridge from the protective film shortly before use.
- Now you have to insert the new cartridge carefully. Again, you have to press carefully but firmly. You should hear a crackling sound. This indicates that the cartridge is locked in place.
- Finally you have to close the lid. The new cartridge should now be recognized by the printer and ready to use.
