I am getting an error message of unable to print 70

unable to print 70 is a Head problem or purging unit problem error code... better contact brother service

The messages unable to print, unable to clean, unable 36, error 46 and error 32 are all print head errors.

1. Remove all the ink cartridges from the machine
2. Clean the contacts on the cartridges as well as inside the machine itself with a small amount of warm water or alcohol on a cotton swab until no ink comes off on the swab.

Note: if any of the other cartridges are low, empty, leaking or bulging replace them

3. Then turn off the machine and unplug it for 70 seconds
4. Plug it back it and wait for the insert cartridges message
5. Insert the cartridges and check to see if the problem is still there. If it is it means the print head has failed and in order to fix this the print head inside the printer needs to be replaced. The print head is the part of the printer that puts ink from the cartridges onto the page

Unfortunately this can sometimes cost more to replace then the machine itself.

There is a clear encoder strip running through the carrier from the left side to the right. CAREFULLY wipe it with a water dampened cloth. Gently, you don't want to knock it off. If that doesn't help you'll need to have it serviced.

Hi,

Error 70 on Brother printers usually means the encoder strip behind the carriage assembly is out of position or very dirty. You should remove the top cover to correct the error and/or you might also find a scrap of paper either on the extreme right or left stopping the carriage from moving properly.



Hope this resolves your issue. Thanks.

my brother MFC-6490CW keeps coming up with an error message 'cannot print 70' how do i solve this?

open the thing, theres probably a paper stuck in it!

The computer and the printer are not talking properly.

Most likely the printer is unable to come online and thus cannot be initialized.

Hi toolpusher

Try going to CanoScan Toolbox > Settings and reset the 'defaults' button at bottom... this will restore factory settings and hopefully fix your problem... The other error message you can expect to get is "unable to scan - insufficent memory, check your **** space' (or something similar)... same fix works for both! ...Have had both messages on mine, sounds like a semi-regular conflict on some sort, but seems to be easily fixed. Good luck :-)

this has been written many times here in the forum.

plz search forum "unable to print"
