„ Transparencies or photo paper must be
picked up from the output paper tray one

„ Avoid touching either side of
transparencies because they absorb
water and perspiration easily, and this
may cause decreased output quality.

Your machine is designed to be compatible
with modern digital camera image files and

„ PhotoCapture Center™ printing without

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

we also recommend you use the same
folder your digital camera uses. If the data
is not saved to the same folder, the

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.

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.
