High probability it is a waste ink count or "error 46" code fault. There are purge count reset codes available on line, but you should also remove and clean out the waste ink chamber. It is a messy job and given the age of the machine, you may be better off replacing it
1. Check for foreign objects, such as a paper clip or scrap of paper, inside the machine.
Disconnect the machine from the power outlet and open the scanner cover by pulling up on the lower right corner of the cover. Look inside the machine and remove any foreign objects. If you see jammed paper or another item inside this area, gently pull it out and then close the scanner cover securely.
2. If the error continues to appear, move the print head and examine under the print head.

paper needs to be fed through the machine and so needs a small border to grab the 1st bit and pull it through. you will always get a bleed unfortunately

o.Welcome to JustAnswer and thanks for asking your question.Open the printer and remove the cartridges and printhead (you can remove the printhead by pulling up the lever on the side of the carriage, use these instructions, steps 1 and 2 only to remove the current printhead):Then turn off the printer and unplug it, if it is connected to the computer, completely disconnect the cableUsing a q-tip dampened with warm water, clean the contacts seen both inside the printer and on the cartridges themselves. Don't clean the nozzles on the bottom of the printhead.Keep cleaning until no ink comes off on the swab > Let them dry shortly, then reinsert the printhead and cartridges (use step 5 from the guide I posted), turn on the printer, and run another cleaning cycle, then print. Let me know the results, I'll standb
If the message is 'Unable to Clean: Error 46' I would recommend checking out this video.If however you are receiving 'Error 4F' this is a mechanical issue and I would advise getting in touch with a printer technician or Brother themselves.
Difficult to say without seeing the quality of the prints but sounds like a calibration issue. By shaken to you mean that colours have fallen out of line and are leaving outlines on your prints? Possibly giving it a 3D-like effect?If so I would recommend running a few calibration/alignment cycles from the printer or printer software to bring all the colours back into line.
You can try cleaning the contacts (gold or brass in color) with rubbing alcohol or contact cleaning fluid. Also clean the contacts inside the printer. You will need to use a soft cloth to gently clean the contacts, something that won't lean lint inside the printer.Disconnect power from the printer before starting and allow the printer to completely dry before restoring power.The printer may have simply failed.
