Unable clean 5a mfc j220 - Brother Office Equipment & Supplies

SOURCE: Brother MFC-9440CN error 5A print unable

Error 5A unable to print is a problem with the high voltage power supply PCB, or with the engine PCB. A shop could tell you which one after some testing. Expensive repairs...

SOURCE: The printer MFC - 490CW says unable to init. 5A

here are the possible problems from most common to uncommon

1. you have crinked up paper inside the mechanism or some foreign object
2. pf encoder disk is in contact with the upper cover, possible encoder disk replacement
3. pf encoder board is bad, replace it.
4. replace the ink absorber box
5. replace the maintenance unit
6. replace engine unit
7. replace main board

if your not a repair person, I recommend you take for diagnostics.

There are diffrent reasons for this error:

check, if something sticks in the machine (paper or metal clip)

The paperfeeder clutch gear is broken: check if the paper feeder works well.

The purge station has problems to do the cleaning jobs: gear broken or too much ink within the purge tubes.

Anyway, this problem is hard to handle for a novice due to so many diffrent reasons.

You should contact a service dealer and in case it is still in warranty let fix them.

Hello we went into the internet and they are all Junk from what we see.We had a MFC-4420C Before and it has a code 41 and all brother does is keep sending you refurbished printers back and forth so you have no warranty at all the warranty starts at the time you buy the first one so that is what happens.So beware anyone with Brother printers with these models. They are both Junk and you will just lose your money.
