The heads on my fax machine need cleaning how do i do it

every brother has the ability to clean head, open control panel, open add printers, check your brother properties and click clean heads.
you also should have keypad access on brother to clean heads.
suggest you read the manual for proper code sine most Brothers have different codes.

The LED print head has got nothing to do with fax's being sent. Clean the glass strip underneath the ADF.

Hello,
You want to make sure the print head is not dirty or dusty. Remove the ribbon and clean the metal print head you see under the ribbon.
If this does not work then the print head is simply not warming up properly and you need to service it.
Thanks,
Pat

Your saying the heads have been cleaned but that points towards an inkjet MFP, if it is a laser MFP, take the toner/drum assy out and shake it hard.. the toner may have settled in storage and may be causing the problems.

Sounds like your print head is dirty if you are using a inkjet machine. Although you didn't say what machine. Your machine should perform a print head cleaning procedure if you turn the machine off and then on again. Otherwise you'll need to replace the print head which may or may not be part of the ink cartridge depending upon the machine in question - good luck

Is this connected to a computer? if so you can run head cleaning utility from the print driver properties. This will pump ink to the head and flush out the clogs. That is the easist way to make sure you don't have a head problem. If it is not connect to the PC then scroll thru the menu to see if there is a maintanence section and look for head cleaning.

Hope this Helps

try to clean and oil the print head sharf. and clean the miler strip. this is the plastick pease with the black lins on. at the back of the print head carige

Three reasons -

If your print driver is set to color. It will use all the colors to make black.

Because the machine is ink jet it needs to clean the print head to stop it from drying out. It will use color ink to flush the print head every two days.

When ever in receives a fax it will use some color when printing a fax, particularly Cyan.

If you only wish to print or receive faxes in black there is now a version of Brother fax that only uses black ink and has no color inks. However it may not be available in your region. If you try and cheat the system you will only kill your print head.

If it's blank, is this on what you send/recieve?

Also if you print something like a status sheet, is it missing on those too? If so, your print head needs replacing.

If its on copies/sents you need to clean the scanner head.

dont think about...
just replace the ink cartidge
