Sometimes people use different names for these two items, but "scanner" to me as a tech, is the assembly with the light under the glass. the error 71 points to your "laser" unit which is pretty deep inside your machine and most likely, only a tech would be able to replace it. once replaced, the code will automatically reset.

Check to make sure the upper lid of the machine is properly closed, and make sure the printer cartridge returns to its place on the left side, there should be a little switch at the bottom of the cartridges (at least most models have this switch), press that switch.

Machine Error 17 Brother

I am assuming that you error listed above is actually a "Machine Error 71" not a 17 as their is no such 17 error. The error 71 is a problem with the Polygon Mirror (laser scanner). The scanner is going to require replacement. The part is available at Seattle Platen, Dale 1-800-221-2388.

Hope that helps you.
