Product Information

Full details

The Brother LC221BK is an original black inkjet cartridge designed for users who prioritize document longevity and print reliability. It is ideal for home and small office environments requiring sharp, professional-grade monochrome text. Please note that as a standard yield cartridge, it is limited to a 260-page output, making it best suited for light-to-moderate printing needs rather than high-volume industrial tasks.

FAQs

How many pages can I print with the LC221BK?

This cartridge has an approximate page yield of 260 pages based on standard ISO testing.

Is this a recycled or original cartridge?

The LC221BK is a genuine, original Brother product.

Can I use this in an inkjet printer from another brand?

No, this cartridge is specifically engineered to work only with compatible Brother printer models.

Why is my printer showing 'Low Ink' immediately after installation?

Ensure the cartridge was pushed all the way into the slot until the locking tab clicked; if the error persists, try turning the printer off and on again to reset the sensor.

What should I do with the empty cartridge?

Check with your local waste management services regarding printer supply recycling programs in your area.

Troubleshooting

Printer does not recognize the new cartridge

Remove the cartridge, ensure the printer is on, and re-insert it firmly until it clicks to ensure a clean electrical connection.

Poor print quality or missing lines

Initiate the printer's 'Head Cleaning' utility via the device menu to clear any potential air bubbles or dried ink deposits.
