Refill instruction Brother LC-985

Take the cartridge out of your printer and take it (as shown in picture 1) in your hand. Lead the screwdriver on both sides under the cover of the cartridge. You can take the cover off through some slight lever movements. Put the cover aside for the moment. You will need it again after refilling. Please pay attention on the small springs. Turn the cartridge around and cut the label on the back of the cartridge with a cutter (pict. 2). Hold the cutter to the upper part of the cartridge. Lead it into the cartridge body (abou 0.5 cm)(pict. 3). Please make sure to not cut the foil, otherwise the ink will come out. Cut the two holding clips inside the cartridge. As the cover is just held on the other side, you can open up the cover as far as you can cut the other holding clips inside the cartridge, too (pict.4). Now you can take off the cartridge cover and put it aside.

Take the cartridge (as shown in pict. 5) in your hand. The filler opening is featured with a plug. Stick the needle into the centre of the plug and lead the needle into the cartridge until you meet a barrier (pict. 6). Inject the ink. While injecting the ink, you have to activate the aeration (pict. 7). For this squeeze the pin slightly into the cartridge. The pressure gets equalized through this action and you can refill the cartridge completely. When you have finished refilling, you can pull the needle out of the cartridge. The plug closes the opening automatically. If it doesn´t close, you can put a drop of hot glue on it.
