Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pour a BTD180 refill bottle into a partially full tank?
Yes, you can top up the DCP-T580DW ink tanks at any time without waiting for them to empty completely. The key-lock bottle design prevents overfilling and messy spills.
How does the printer track ink levels with manual refill bottles?
While the printer calculates ink usage electronically based on page output, you must visually inspect the clear ink tank windows on the front of the printer to verify actual fluid levels.
Why does cyan, magenta, or yellow ink decrease when printing black text?
Brother printheads perform periodic maintenance rinses using all ink channels to prevent nozzle clogging, which consumes small amounts of colour ink even during monochrome print jobs.
