Prolem with my printer

Ok, so I took off the "I'm with Dummy" t-shirt as it had me perplexed all night as to how to get the arrow pointing to the side instead of up...

*sigh*

I didn't even see the make and model within the topic, so I apologize for that.

Now to the topic at hand.

1. Are you sure that you have pushed the ink cartridge in all the way? You should hear a loud snap when you install the cartridge, and it might seem like your being a little rough with it, but then again, it does have to be able to stay in place. And since the problem started AFTER installing a new ink cartridge, this problem occurs, which makes me think that the ink isn't installed correctly.

2. Have it in a plug all by itself? Or in a surge protector all by itself? It might be in a faulty outlet. How about where the power goes into the printer? Is that in all the way as well?

3. Do you need to adjust the contrast of the Brother machine?s LCD? Here's how to check that:
- Press Menu/Set, 1 (General Setup), 7 (LCD Contrast).
- Press the Up Arrow key to increase the contrast.
- Press the Menu/Set to confirm your choice.
- Press the Stop/Exit to exit the menu.


Hope one of those solutions help, if not, you'll have to take it in to the shop as it might be some faulty wiring/soldering.
