Https://www.manualslib.com/manual/437931/Brother-Dcp-J140w.html?page=8#manual Brother DCP J140W Basic User Manual Table Of Contents The above black lettering is the web address that you can use to view the printers manual which is over 60 pages long probably to much to download here ,If you know how to use the right mouse button you can push it as you move the mouse pointer over the web address it should highlight the address and automatically some extra info should appear next to your mouse with options like copy and go to the web site if you see the "go to the web site "click that and it will take you there , if not you might have to copy it down into the browser that you use .Good luck

SOURCE: Brother DCP-130C refuses to print the magenta ink
If you don't print at least once a month, you will clog the machine. You unfortunately have to get it fixed by a professional or get a new printer. Sorry!
SOURCE: Using far too much ink
This came from brothers website:
The Yellow ink cartridge yield is up to 300 pages @ 600 x 150 dpi when printing at 5% coverage on A4 sized paper.
The Magenta ink cartridge yield is up to 300 pages @ 600 x 150 dpi when printing at 5% coverage on A4 sized paper.
The Cyan ink cartridge yield is up to 300 pages @ 600 x 150 dpi when printing at 5% coverage on A4 sized paper.
The Black ink cartridge yield is up to 350 pages @ 600 x 150 dpi when printing at 5% coverage on A4 sized paper.
so it appears that what you are experiencing is not normal and you may have a leaking printer.
There is one thing you can check though, everytime you print, make sure that you are not printing at the highest quality option selectable as this almost certainly will fire out more ink than regular printing... choose a middle quality option or even draft option if you will be printing regular text.
SOURCE: BROTHER MFC-210 PRINTING IN BLACK INK POOR QUALITY
Try cleaning the black printer heads several times in a row, at least 5 times then print a black document with best quality setting.
Press the ink button, then down to select select cleaning and then press menu/set and menu/set again to select black.
SOURCE: My printer Brother DCP 165C cannot print in black ink.
Your black printhead is blocked.
The printhead is deep inside the printer and has to be taken out by the expert and cleaned with the help of 'steam' and hot water. This is because not using the printer for a long time. or using low grade refill inks.
Please select new cartridge only if you are inserting a new cartridge or fully refilled cartridge. Otherwise use old cartridge option. Brother printer has a mechanical sensor and not the electronic chip in the ink cartridges.
After inserting the old used cartridge if you choose 'new cart' option it will show the "Full" ink. You can still print from the exhausted ink cart after covering the sensor in the middle by a piece of paper in emergency.
