The driver should pop up a error message. Possibly is due to clean corona wire. Slide the blue lever several times across (at the drum unit).

Why brother hl 2140 error light

The error light indicates something is wrong with the machine. The error light in combination with another light indicated that the problem lies with that item.
If there is an issue with a job not being able to be printed you can press the go button to allow it to continue (Normally happens if you send a job to the printer using paper other than what the printer has in it)

I need free support to empty memory of brother HL-2140 printer

This error occurs when your printer is dealing with a particually complicated print job and cannot process it all. Try to reduce the complexity of your document or cut the print resolution. It may be worth trying to print the document in several parts if at all possible.

I hope this helps.
