A. The compatible Brother LC223 are pre-used cartridges of the Brother company. The compatible cartridges are in fact the recycled ones.

A. This type of error generally comes on installing a new Brother LC223 ink cartridge. The reason being that the printer comes with 2 small infrared beams which can detect ink levels or can also read the installed cartridges. Whenever the cartridges are installed when the printer is off, this kind of error crops up. On switching on the printer, it fails to detect the new cartridges. So, in order to avoid this kind of error in future, always install new cartridges when the printer is on.
