I have a Brother MFC 210 printer and when I click to see the ink volume, it says there's plenty left. 2, or 3 bars left of the + sign. 5 bars to the right of the - sign for all of the colors, Black, R, Y, B. How do I get the maximum ink out of my cartridge? I've only used the black ink for three months and it seems to be running out.

The best way to save with this printer is to unplug it after use. Consider printing everything needed at one time since the brother is the only printer that uses the continuous cleaning method instead of the wipe method.. In other words, periodically whether the printer has been used or not, it goes into a cleaning mode and each time it cleans it siphons out ink. One other option -If you take the Brother ink cartridges (mine is a 5840CN) and tip them sideways so the ink rests on the 'window' side (which the machine views to know how much is left). Hold it there for a few seconds and then install the cartridge and close the machine quickly it will sometimes be tricked into thinking that the cartridge is full.
