FAQ’S
How many pages can I print with the included ink bottles?
The inbox ink bottles yield approximately 7,500 pages in black and up to 5,000 pages in color based on standard ISO test patterns. This high yield ensures you can print thousands of documents before needing your first refill.
How do I refill the ink tanks without making a mess?
The printer features a hands-free, spill-proof ink refilling system. Each bottle has an auto-stop nozzle that fits precisely into its corresponding color tank, stopping the flow of ink automatically once the tank is full to prevent spills and overfilling.
Does the Brother DCP-T230 support Wi-Fi or wireless mobile printing?
No, the DCP-T230 is a USB-only model that connects directly to a single laptop or desktop computer using a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable. If you need wireless or mobile printing capabilities, consider Brother’s Wi-Fi models in the same lineup, such as the DCP-T430W.
What should I do if the print quality is faint, streaked, or missing colors?
You can run a print head cleaning cycle directly from your computer using the Brother Printer Status Monitor utility. If lines are broken or colors look faded, running 1 to 2 cleaning cycles typically clears dry ink from the nozzles and restores sharp output
Can I print on heavy photo paper or cardstock?
Yes, the printer supports photo paper and heavier media weights. While standard plain paper feeds through the enclosed 150-sheet tray, you can use the single-sheet manual feed slot at the rear for thicker paper types up to 220 gsm to avoid jams.
