- Guest ...Throw in bin due to stuffed head and it is too late the contaminated, incorrect ink type or particle size ink, is in the veins(ink tubes) of your printer and have reached the head which is now blocked. You cant fix blocked brother heads, and they are too expensive to replace.
jeromecres on very rare occasions will one ever unblock a brother head. Sometimes like 1/1000 a power purge with brother ink gets the hunk of junk out of the way of the flow to the electronic heater element that fires the ink particle in the head.
Press the
Menu/Set,
Black Start,
Menu/Set, and
Black Start keys in this order to enter maintence mode then 76 set 4 set 1 set... i think , display should read after entering 76 "cleaning", then you want "init" purge, then "all" ..... if you aint got number pad use arrows to change digits.
Watch what you are doing my numbers may be out of order ie 76-4-1 might be 76-1-4 .
THATS IT ALL OF YOU FUTURE BROTHER NON GENUINNE INK USES WHO HAVE STUFFED THE HEAD ON A TWO BOB PRINTER. throw IT IN bin !!!
USE REAL INK NEXT TIME.
BETTER STILL PRINT WITH TONER AKA LASER BASED MACHINES... HEAPS CHEAPER RUNNING COST (use NON REFILLED IN THOSE TOO)
