YES only need ink to print
Testimonial: "Thank you!"
If the fax machine hasn't gone into an error state, the only things you cannot do are print a fax or print from the computer. You should be able to receive a fax to memory until you get ink, or receive to the computer and scan and fax out and make calls.
SOURCE: I am trying to align my ink carts. I have printed
This happens on several All-in-One devices, including Brothers. Your device is not sensing the document in the ADF ( Automatic Document Feeder ). These, like the others, are mechanical vs. an optical sensor. Look in where the paper is fed into the ADF, and make sure that the mechanical arm is showing. It would be a small plastic piece, usually near the middle, to accomodate smaller scans and would be 90 degrees or perpendicular to the scan tray and "hanging" off of the top, sometimes the bottom, but typically the top. If you see something that closely resembles the description stop. Home Use All-in-One ADFs are notorious for looking like they have a big mouth, but actually can only handle about 10 sheets at a time, max. If your paper count is only the one, calibration page, pull the page back and reinsert it, pushing slighly harder until the paper starts to bow. If you have a LCD menu screen, watch to see if it acknowledges the paper being in there. On the Brothers, the text says ADF ready, when the paper is sensed from properly being insterted, deep enough. On all printers, including all-in-ones, the Mfgr accounts for paper jambs in the print path by making doors that you can pull out jambed or crumpled papers. Open each of those doors, verify that there is no jambed page somewhere, then reclose the door, snapping it closed firmly. Rerun your calibration page. This should resolve your issue ? TIP: If you are having trouble getting the paper to pickup and transfer through the entire paper path, get a clean cloth and some standard isopropyl alcohol. Wipe down all of the rubber wheels, 360 deg on each one. Slightly time consuming, but only need to do it annually or when the issues arises 'paper slippage'. This process restores the "grip" back into the rollers without destroying the rubber. If you see a lot of 'paper dust', buy a can of "compressed air" to blow out the dust. Typical problem since paper is made of compressed fibers. Good luck. I would appreciate your rating of my answers.
