- Brother printer reset ink / out of ink hack
Do you have a Brother printer that saying it's out of ink when it really has quite a bit of ink left? Check out this video for a quick and easy hack on how to trick it. This is specifically for a MFC-J870DW. If it works for your printer please comment below and also please subscribe.
Also don't bother with the Sharpie marker way of doing it. It only works about 50% of the time. Just get some electrical tape and get the job done.
For the MFC-J870DW printer, here's the ink I use:

Brother, you are a breath of fresh air. Not only did you speak English but you were loud, crisp, and without the BS....just telling us what works - and it did. Thanks again!!!
I appreciate that! Please subscribe to my channel - ruclips.net/user/robhipp
I confirm your words!
Great voice and speed
100% agree and he didn't use a damn robot voice like another video I just TRIED to watch and absolutely couldn't handle listening to it. Thank you man so much
Hi This just saved my life. My Brother MFCJ4625W erroneously reported ink run out on a new yellow cartridge. I then stupidly removed the magenta cartridge and when I put it back it said that was empty too. Tried to get help from Brother via chat and it was pathetic. I'm never going to buy another Brother printer again, I only have this one so I can print on card. However this fix has got it working again....Many thanks.
thank you, I already had to throw a dozen full cartridges.
thanks to you I will not throw any more.
I'm watching you from Belgium
many thanks.
it worked for me. I have a J43OW
I took a piece of paper and colored it black, and cut the strip and put scotch tape on it and put is between the little bar that is in front of the ink window. I Inserted it so that no light could get in.. and it worked. I didn't have any black electrical tape. I just need to block the sensor in the machine. Sweet.. wish I knew this trick sooner. But happy to know it now~!!!!! This will save us money... :)
Thank you. I used vinyl red tape since I couldn't find the electrical. It worked beautifully. I purchased a set of color just two weeks ago and never used it. The error message popped up. The sharpie didn't work but I found ur hack and I'm printing, thanks again.
You are the best. Just bought a used printer and had trouble recognizing brand new ink. Your tape hack worked.
So it is possible to make a video actually explaining what the title suggest, in a clear and simple way.
Bloody hell, this is golden!
Great. Thank you. In 12 years of using my Brother MFC-465CN I probably replaced the cartridges twice. I always thought it was possible to bypass it but I never tried it. After seeing your video; I think I will. Great hack. Thanks, Rob.
Glad it works! Please subscribe - ruclips.net/user/robhipp
Works perfect with masking tape (all I had) on a Brother MFC-J6530DW. You sir are a genius. I have been printing on an "Empty" black cartridge for 2 weeks now. :)
Great! Please subscribe to my channel - ruclips.net/user/robhipp
Works for continuous ink supply too, just had to fool printer by removing jammed paper to think it was closed after changing/ filling ink. Love your video, straight to the point and clear. Thanks 🌹
Thanks Rob, it worked !
I have been shelling out the bucks regularly and once again my printer refused to continue operating after just 2 months or so from the last expensive cartridge replace. I tried your hack and it worked !

I knew what the problem was but just wasn't sure how to solve it, and THIS was *exactly* what I was looking for - simple, effective and straight to the point! 🙌Thanks man, you really save me so much frustration!! Didn't have black electrical tape but just painted some masking tape black and it works like a charm as well!
damn you bad af
Omg! You are a genius! I used a black paint pen and that work. Thank you so much for making this video. I was about to go buy a new printer.
Worked exactly as explained in the video. I went from seeing half full of ink in my XL cartridges with an out of ink message, to Full ink status in a matter of minutes.
Thank you
I have the MFC-J985DW printer and this trick worked perfectly thank you so much!
Yours was the only trick that helped my issue. Thank you!!!
Great tip Rob, it works again. Saves me some money!!
I got an MFC-J650DW and it worked perfectly fine for me. Thanks !

It works for me with LC123 cartridges. You save my printer from being destroyed for sure! Thanks
This is an AWESOME hack. thank you! Tired of being hijacked by by Brother printer.
my model is JB6510 DW, this method works. Thank you for posting this! noted I cut out a smaller piece of black tape just to cover the little 'sensor" window. not the big one as it shown in the video.
Thanks for the tip and letting everyone know!
This works for a lot of the other brother printers 10/10. Ive had mine for 10 yrs, never knew I could do this.
Worked perfectly on my MFC-J470DW. Thank you!

I salute you sir! ;)
thank you it worked!
Taking a strip of black tape and covering it entirely did not work for me unfortunately. The printer would say "cannot detect" and I could not get past that error no matter what I tried. I have the MFC-J4700W and am also using the knock-off ink cartridges. For the record, I resorted to trying the black sharpie and that did not work either. Came back to the black tape method and after trying a few configurations I remembered my original Brother ink cartridges had this little gap at the front of the Ink window. I cut the black tape a little short and didn't cover the front end of the window on the knock-off cartridge, where the gap was on the original brother cartridge, popped it in and it worked! So simple yet so frustrating that Brother makes these things in a fashion that wastes ink. Thanks for your help though man, the black tape method is the way to go, just some models may need a little more finessing to get it right.
Thanks for your feedback!
It works, thank you so much (and all the others that published it before)!

Thank you so much, I’d tried everything and nothing had worked, so I coloured a strip of paper black, and selotape did it over the cartridge as you instructed, and it printed!! 😃

Omg. It worked. Thanks a million. Great
Thanks man, it works
Thanks
This has happened to me so many times and I finally decided that since I could actually hear ink sloshing around inside the cartridge I decided to see if there was an answer. This totally worked for a MFC-J480DW model printer. Now I am just kicking myself for not looking this up sooner. Have replaced cartridges in the past because even though I could see ink in the little window and hear it inside the cartridge the printer would not accept that the cartridge had ink in it. I could see replacing the cartridge if it was empty; but as you showed with your cartridge that was not empty nor were my cartridges this time or in the past. Will be using this in the future as well. I can't believe Brother would make a printer(s) like this. Honestly I think someone should sue Brother over this misleading people into thinking they need to replace a cartridge before it actually does. There is no telling how many people have been cheated out of money having to replace a cartridge when it wasn't actually out of ink yet, working, and capable of printing. The printer first had an issue with all 4 cartridges; but after pulling them out and putting back in it still said that the blue and black did not have enough ink. Well after the tape method it printed black ink with no problem. Shame on Brother.
THIS TOTALLY WORKED FOR ME! MINE WAS A MFC-J200. I HAD TO REMOVE THE COVER OF THE CARTRIDGE INSIDE WHICH CONNECTS IT TO THE PRINTER, BEFORE I PUT IN THE BLACK ELECTRICAL TAPE. I FAILED A COUPLE OF TIMES, STILL NOT DETECTED, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, HUMAN BEAT THE TECHNOLOGY! ROFL! 😜😜 IM JUST SO HAPPY! 😂😂 KEEP IT UP!! 👋👋👍👍
Cover of the cartridge that connects to the printer???
Funciono!!! Mil gracias!!🎉🎉🎉
