The ink absorber box or flushing 
box is full. These components are 
periodic maintenance items that 
may require replacement after a 
period of time to ensure optimum 
performance from your Brother 
machine. The need to replace 
these items and the time period 
before replacement is dependent 
on the number of purges and 
flushes required to clean the ink 
system. These boxes acquire 
amounts of ink during the different 
purging and flushing operations. 
The number of times a machine 
purges and flushes for cleaning 
varies depending on different 
situations. For example, 
frequently powering the machine 
on and off will cause numerous 
cleaning cycles since the machine 
automatically cleans upon power 
up. The use of generic inks may 
cause frequent cleanings 
because generic inks could cause 
poor print quality which is 
resolved by cleaning. The more 
cleaning the machine requires the 
faster these boxes will fill up.
Note
Repairs resulting from the use 
of non-genuine supplies may 
not be covered under the

The ink absorber box or flushing box will
