Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it not a good idea to use my Brother printer up to the last drop of ink?

When your Brother printer tells you that an ink cartridge is empty, you should replace it immediately. Although the printer says it's empty, there's still a very small amount of ink left in the cartridge, which is necessary to prevent air from drying out and damaging the printhead assembly.

How will I know if my Brother Intellifax 2480C is running out of ink?

The Brother Intellifax 2480C features an ink dot counter that automatically monitors the ink status of the four cartridges. When a cartridge is starting to run low on ink, the printer will warn you with a message on the LCD.

When I opened the bag, the protective yellow cap came off—would this cause any damage to the new cartridge?

No. If the protective yellow cap came off when you opened the bag, the new ink cartridge will not get damaged.
