Using the printer as a photocopier and got a paper jam - removed paper but now message coming up as "Unable to print See Troubleshooting and routine maintenance chapter in User's guide.
Have removed paper - looked right over the whole printer and can't find anything else wrong - desperate for some help
Press menu then start mono (blue button) then fourtimes arrow up (tel-index). Machine will be in maintenance mode and lights will flash. What error code does the machine display?
(to leave the maintenance mode press 9 then 9)

The paper jam had lifted the encoder strip of the print head. The strip gives the ph the position.
You have to open the printer and to fix the plastic foil which runs parallel to the ph into the right position.
Will post you the help later (have to search here because i have it already written and stuffed with pictures)
red arrow: encoder strip
So here we go:
open printer (follow pictures):
http://www.hstt.net/refill-faq/inside.ht...
turn one of the three gear wheel around (clicking sound) now you can push the ph to the very left side (towards gear wheels). Lift it up here. Reinsert ph encoder strip (red arrow on picture) should go into position. Make a test drive: push ph to the middle and back to very left: watch the encoder strip: it should run straight with no "wave" in front. reassemble printer thats it!
@MStofila:
Error 51 is something different to error 50.
The purge cam shaft doesnt work well.
Try to turn the wheel around several times (both way). Watch the purge station (in the pic above beneath the ph). Check encoder strip, too.
2nd solution for error 51: watch very well if paper pieces are left on the travelling path way of ph. There might be some paper stuck between the gear wheels, too!

you need a new waist ink absorber box and have to do a reset. The absorber box can be purgchased from a service partner (see brother homepage of your country). Same procedure:

Using the printer as a photocopier and got a paper jam - removed paper but now message coming up as "Unable to print See Troubleshooting and routine maintenance chapter in User's guide.
Have removed paper - looked right over the whole printer and can't find anything else wrong - after entering maintenance mode, my printer now flashed "machine error 51"
Machine error code 50
Thanks for the help - maintenance code 50 - can you be of any further assistance?
Unfortunately, when I went to the link you provided that supposedly shows how to open up the machine, it's in German. Sorry, only ready/speak English, so this was absolutely no help whatsoever.
hi the message on my printer is saying unable to init.Can you help me thanks
