Hi Erika:

A burning smell presents when paper is stuck on the fuser (The hot thing that heats the toner to the paper.) I would take out the drum, and peek in the printer with a flash light and see if you see any paper stuck anywhere it does not belong. Usually, the paper will be burnt "Brownish" in color.

With the drum, there are contacts on them. Make sure they are clean; and do not have toner residue on them. Easy to clean with a pencil eraser. Gently, rub the eraser over the metal contacts to clean off residue. Hope that helps you. If so, please leave me positive feed back.

Thank you for posting to Fixya.com and it is my pleasure to guide you.

I have scanned through the appropriate sections of the

and find no referance to a "maintenance error 7". Please include any and all messages given on the panel LCD!

Please press the reply button and I will check back tomarrow.

It is always a pleasure to help!

For the error code "7a" to be fixed permanently, you need to ensure that the main PCB is fine and is working in good condition.
If the error code is caused due to malfunctioning of the main motor, then you need to check the whole setup by connecting it with another motor.
In this case, make sure that there is no mechanical load present on the main board.
While fixing this error code, you will notice that the motor runs slowly initially and then picks up the speed later.

First, I would recommend NOT trying to manually install this printer by using the add printer wizard in windows and selecting the the port and drivers to use. I would use the install cd to set this all up, it makes setting up this printer MUCH easier. If you are unable to use the install cd then get the IP address for the printer from your router admin page then with the printer "installed" go into the printer properties, go into the port, add a port, and instead of using a printer name just type the IP address for the printer in. Also for any networked printer make sure you don't have a firewall blocking it (this would include making sure that if the printer requires a port opened in the router that all requests for that port are routed to the IP address of the printer).

The only way to diagnose is to remove covers and trace the noise to the source. It will be a nylon cog that has jammed, moved or become worn. https://www.google.com/search?q=Brother+MFC-L8690CDW+Laser+Printer.+The+scanner+is+making+a+clicking%2Frattling+noise ..

You can reset the toner cartridges via the printer's menu.

• Open the front cover of the printer (to access cartridges).
• With the front cover open, press and hold the unlit Asterisk (Star) button for 5 seconds.
• The reset menu will now appear on the LCD display.
• Scroll through the menu to select a color and yield to reset.
• The LCD will read "Accepted" once the reset is complete.

Try scanning at a lower DPI setting. The machine is only rated to a certain DPI which is how much information it can handle per inch. Lower the DPI the more pixilated an image you get becomes when blown up but unless you are planning on printing 6/4 photos in A3 size then 600-1200 DPI is plenty.

The scanner unit is faulty or the flat harness was not fitted properly to the main board.

There is no such error code. Please check again
