Open the lid on your printer and find the cartridge. Certain Brother printers will have a button you can press to make the ink more accessible. The cartridge will look like a small plastic rectangle for the most part. Pull the cartridge up until it comes free from the printer. Watch your hands, because ink will stain your fingers.
