Firmware is the internal software that controls how your printer operates —
from print quality and colour management through to ink detection, cleaning cycles and security.
Keeping firmware up to date can:
• Improve reliability and print consistency
• Fix known errors or bugs
• Maintain security features
• Ensure new cartridges are recognised correctly
Genuine Brother LC3337 / LC3339XL cartridges are designed to remain compatible after firmware
updates, whereas non-genuine cartridges may fail or trigger error messages.

While generic cartridges may fit physically, they can cause issues such as:

• Increased risk of printhead clogging
For the most reliable results and to avoid compatibility problems, we recommend
genuine Brother LC3337 and LC3339XL cartridges.
