I think the encoder strip needs to be cleaned with a lint free cloth. If the encoder strip gets dirty, many different problems can occur.

If the machine still errors, the encoder strip needs to be replaced - Part Number LS4467001
If the machine still errors, replace the carriage PCB assembly - Part Number LS6543001
If the machine still errors, replace the Printhead - Part Number LK3211001
If the machine still errors, replace the Main PCB assembly - Part Number LT0284011

you should manually reset your PURGE COUNTER to ZERO so that your printer will work again. Follow these steps:

Unable to Clean error means purge counter is already full. Please refer below for the instructions on troubleshooting your machine.


1. To enter MAINTENANCE Mode: Press MENU, MONO START, 4X on ARROW UP. (within 2 seconds).
2. Using arrow up button look for the following:
a. 8 then press SET
b. 0 then press SET
3. Using MONO START, just press it until the word "PURGE XXXXX" comes out.
4. Using arrow up button look for the following:
a. 2 then press SET
b. 7 then press SET
a. 8 then press SET
b. 3 then press SET
This is to reset the purge counter. Then press stop/exit
5. Using arrow up button look for the following:
a. 0 then press SET
b. 1 then press SET (To reset unit)
a. 9 then press SET
b. 9 then press SET (To exit Maintenance mode)

My brother 420cn said unable to print see manual trooble shooting and routine maintenance, but I don't have a manual.

Have you checked at the Brothers web site? I find that they have the product manuals easily available. I have had two Brothers printers. I always lose the manual.
