Brother LC51 Refilling

1. Cut the label at joint between the top and bottom halves of the cartridge case.

2. Flip open the cartridge casing (shell).

3. Remove the cartridge from the casing (shell).

4. There is a round hole (well) in the top of the cartridge. Inside the hole or well is a rubber stopper. Use included thumb drill and drill through the rubber stopper. Note: Do not bump or press the “pressure release button”.

5. Insert the needle through the drilled stopper hole and into the cartridge body. Please be sure the needle does not press up against the bag or puncture it, as this will ruin the cartridge and make it unusable.

6. Very slowly inject 10ml of ink into the cartridge bag. If ink starts to come out of the filling hole, stop, as the cartridge is now full. It is always better to under-fill then to over-fill.

7. Seal the hole using electrical tape. Make sure the hole is sealed airtight. Place the cartridge back into its casing (shell) and use a piece of tape to hold the two sides of the casing (shell) together.

8. Re-install the cartridge back into the printer and run 1 to 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
