Why should I use genuine Brother ink cartridges?
Genuine Brother ink is specially formulated for the MFC-J printer series. It helps:
• Maintain colour accuracy
• Prevent printhead clogging
• Reduce paper wastage
• Ensure reliable text and colour printing
Genuine LC3317 and LC3319XL cartridges also ensure correct ink detection and
allow your printer to install important firmware updates without errors.
What is firmware and why is it important for Brother printers?
Firmware is the internal software that controls your printer’s features, print quality,
ink monitoring and security.
Using genuine Brother ink ensures firmware updates install safely so your printer can:
• Stay secure

Non-genuine ink can block updates or cause detection failures.

Brother firmware updates.
Common issues with generic cartridges include:
• “Cannot Detect Ink” error

• Increased risk of printhead clogging
• Loss of compatibility after a firmware update
For reliable and long-term performance, use genuine Brother cartridges.

Yes. This printer supports USB connection.
A USB cable is recommended for:
