Hello.my printer has a machine error 51, but i cant find any solution on the net. please anyone tell me what this error means and how to fix it. please, i am going crazy. thanks
Try stamping your feet on the printer for 5 times, carry the printer up with ur master hand and smash it against the wall for 8 times. Make sure there is crack on the scanner cover. Last step, dump the whole thing into the nearest rubbish bin..
I got the error 51 once and it turned out the connector to the ink holder was loose so i put it in and error gone.

Brother 950/980: On copy or transmit they may produce black pages. Prone to bad scanner (CCD). Brother may provide a replacement CCD at no charge to the original owner. Sometimes leaving the unit unplugged for a few hours will solve the problem temporarily.
Brother HL600 series laser printer toner will work in the laser fax & multifunction machines (part number TN100HL = TN100PPF). Drum units may be interchangeable as well (?).
Brother 1350/1550/1950: Problem: Record paper jams. Solution: Replace upper shoot. P/N UF6058001. Although there seems to be nothing causing the jam, the upper shoot gets stress marks on the ends. Replace even though it is not broken. (Thank you David Price, [email protected])
Thermal Transfer Machines: Only one side of the page is printing. Caused by the printhead latch being cracked. The latch is blue in color there is one on each side of the printhead, replace both latches
Hi sorry I can not speak English, but my contribution to the failure dcp130 error 50, brother of the motor car has a lot of trouble enegia, how to test the engine is so easy to move the head with his hand from one side to and another notice that a recall is not only free to do what we can with the printer off.
You have to open the printer to fix the encoder strip which might be stained with ink (in this case it has to be replaced). Search here for error 50 (which is nearly the same issue) and see how to open the printer and to fix it.
BTW: The error codes for inkjet printers are different to the laser ones ;-) All brother inkjets useing the same carts have the same technique!
When reinserting the encoder strip plz watch the triangle sign! You can see this arrow (triangle) on the edge of one side of the encoder strip. The arrow has to show upwards and must be positioned on the right side where the purge station is.
Please make sure that the encoder strip is in good position within the printhead. Will post a picture later on!
position of encoder strip
print head with well positioned encoder
Sounds that the purge cam shift is broken. Sorry, this cant be fixed anymore.Â
You cant fix it by yourself:
The spare part will cost more than a new dcp 130c!
Dont waste your time and money!
Go buy a new one or a good running 2nd hand one!
..and sell the defectiv one at eBay!
you cant fix it because its a allinone built which means that the purge engine and the paper feeder are one part which are driven by changing gears (yes, its the idea of a motorcar gear). one of the part is broken.Â
Sorry. Cant give you a hand, because the print engine is a built-in-one incl. purge station and paper feeder. I dont know how to rebuilt that.Â
Techs NEVER repair one of those parts and change the whole unit when a error indicates a prob with that
(time is money, you know).
Sorry!

On Brother Printer, Machine error 351 indicates that there is a malfunction of laser unit. This error means that the laser beam is not being detected. Just do one thing switch off the the printer off and back on again. Still the error is showing then it means your laser safety flap got defective and your laser unit may need to be replaced.

i cleaned the encoder strip. it gave me before an error 50, and i followed you instructions. now it gives error 51, and i dont know whats the problem. please give me something more specific. thanks.
nothing yet. i dont think the encoder is the problem. as far as i know, the error nr. for the encoder strip is 50, mine is 51, and the encoder strip is correctly in place. thanks
ok, thank you. can you tell me which part is the purge cam? in a photo maybe? can i buy it? will it cost much? thanks
i found this on a web page:
51
The purge cam HP switch sticks to ON in the initialization sequence.
what does it mean? can i repair the purge switch now? should i clean it or what? please answer asap.
maybe im wrong, but i dont see any broken gears or any other piece inside. however, i dismounted the purge, and all the gears fell out. can you send me a photo how the gears were, so i can remount it and try it a last time please? i just want to find the places of every part, because i dont remember. thanks
please tell me how to remount the purge cam in the printer. the gears and the other parts have fallen when i dismounted it, and i dont know their places. please help
i dont need instructions, just a photo of the working purge, so i can see how the gears were, in order to remount them. remounting them is not a problem, i just dont remember how they were.
i'm trying to fix the color error, an error 51 come up, dont know wat to do
i have a problem with my brother A I O 210C
error 51,unable to initalize
