Frequently Asked Questions

I got the "Wrong Ink Cartridge" message after installing a new ink cartridge into my Brother MFC-J5845DW XL. What to do?

The "Wrong Ink Cartridge" message means the ink cartridge model number of the one you recently installed may not be compatible with your machine. Check the cartridge model number if it's the right match. If not, then get the correct ink cartridge and install it.

Can I continue copying with the MFC-J5845DW XL if the printer says "Ink Low"?

Yes. You can continue making copies until the MFC-J5845DW XL shows the "Cannot Print. Replace Ink Cartridge." error message appears.

Which is the better option for my printer: an ultra high-yield ink cartridge or a super high-yield cartridge?

It all depends on the volume of your print job every day and how often you use your Brother printer. If you're a heavy printer user that prints thousands of pages a day, the ultra high-yield ink cartridge is definitely the better option.
