How to use

Turn on the printer and open the ink cartridge access cover according to the printer user guide. Remove the empty magenta cartridge by pressing the release tab and pulling it out, then unpack the new Brother LC-221M cartridge and remove any protective tape or packaging. Insert the new cartridge into the magenta slot until it clicks into place, close the access cover and allow the printer to recognise the cartridge. Run a test print or nozzle check from the printer menu to confirm correct installation and alignment.

Recommendations

Store unopened cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use installed cartridges within the printer’s recommended timeframe and perform regular nozzle checks and printhead maintenance if prints show streaking or color gaps. For best results, use the cartridge in printers listed as compatible by the manufacturer and replace cartridges when the printer indicates low ink to avoid print quality issues.
