Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and reinsert it. Check that all protective tabs and seals have been removed. Restart the printer.
Run the printer's head cleaning utility. If the problem persists, ensure you are using a genuine Brother cartridge and that it's not empty. Consider if the printer has been idle for an extended period.
Even new cartridges can sometimes show incorrect levels if not properly recognized. Try removing and reinserting the cartridge, or consult your printer's manual for specific error code troubleshooting.
