If you know how Brother decides that a cartridge is necessary, or you
know aobut this particular model, MFC-J625dw that would be great, but
otherwise, I should read the webpages first and I apologize for
bothering you all.

One Amazon reviewer says to tip the printer
at 90 degrees for a few moments, so the ink
covers the LED sensor.
I'll try that.

I tried it, but I forgot what you said and only tipped it 40 degrees
back. (Though i did it while it was starting.) Didnt' work.

I'll try 90^ next time. Which direction? Back?

Look at the cartridge and where a person is supposed
to put the black tape. And figure out from that,
which direction to tip it, to get the ink to cover
the optical path.

The review I read, didn't say which direction or
coordinate system were being used. Ninety degrees
could mean just about anything.
