Print Quality Difficulties

Difficulty

Suggestions

Poor print quality.

Check the print quality. (See 

Checking the print quality

 on page 57.)

Make sure that the 

Media Type

 setting in the printer driver or the 

Paper Type

 

setting in the machine’s menu matches the type of paper you are using. 
(See 

Paper Type

 on page 17.)

(See Software and Network User’s Guide.)

Make sure that your ink is fresh. The following may cause ink to clog:

The expiration date written on the bottle package has passed.

The ink has been in your machine for over six months.

The ink bottle may not have been stored correctly before use. Store the ink 
bottle on a level surface in a cool, dark place.

Make sure you are using Brother Original ink. Brother does not recommend using 
or refilling with any kind of ink other than Brother Original ink.

Make sure you are using one of the recommended types of paper. 
(See 

Acceptable paper and other print media

 on page 17.) 

The recommended environment for your machine is between 20

°

C to 33

°

C.

The printout is faint, even after 
refilling with Brother Original ink.

The refilled ink may not have reached the print head. 
Perform the following special cleaning operation:

Press 

Menu

 and then press 

a

 or 

b

 and the 

OK

 button to select 

1.Ink

 > 

2.Cleaning

. 

Press and hold down 

Menu

, while pressing 

OK

. The machine will begin its 

cleaning procedure.

NOTE

This cleaning method requires enough ink to fill the ink delivery tubes. Before 
cleaning, refill all ink tank colors.

 

White horizontal lines appear in text 
or graphics.

 

Clean the print head. (See 

Cleaning the print head

 on page 57.)

Make sure you are using Brother Original ink.

Try using the recommended types of paper. 
(See 

Acceptable paper and other print media

 on page 17.) 

To prolong print head life, provide the best ink economy and maintain print quality, 
we do not recommend frequently unplugging the machine and/or leaving the 

machine unplugged for extended periods of time. We recommend using 

 to 

power down the machine. Using 

 allows minimal power to the machine 

ensuring periodic cleanings of the print head occur.

The machine prints blank pages.
