Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing the yellow cartridge

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated in its slot. Remove and reinsert it firmly. Check that you are using a genuine Brother LC421XLY cartridge compatible with your printer model. Clean the electrical contacts on the cartridge and in the printer with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dirty.

Yellow print quality is poor (streaky, faded, or missing)

Run a print head cleaning cycle through your printer's maintenance menu. Ensure the yellow ink level is not critically low. Check for any obstructions or dried ink around the print head for the yellow channel.

Ink smudging on prints

Allow prints to dry for a moment after printing. Ensure the printer's internal mechanisms are clean and free of paper debris. Check that the cartridge is properly installed and not leaking.
