    Why my Brother Printer cannot detect ink cartridge?
    • B
      Belinda WebsterAug 27, 2025
      Your Brother Printer may not be able to detect the ink cartridge due to several reasons: * You installed a new ink cartridge too quickly. Take out the new ink cartridge and re-install it slowly until it clicks. * You are using non-Brother Original ink. Replace the cartridge with a Brother Original ink cartridge. If the error message remains, contact your Brother dealer. * An ink cartridge is not installed correctly. Take out the new ink cartridge and re-install it slowly until it clicks.

    What to do if Brother Printer shows 'Wrong Paper Size'?
    • J
      Jamie WoodSep 5, 2025
      If your Brother printer displays a 'Wrong Paper Size' message, it means that the Paper Size setting does not match the size of paper in the tray, or you did not set the paper guides in the tray to the indicators for the paper size you are using. Check that the paper size you choose matches the size of paper in the tray. Make sure you load the paper in a Portrait position, by setting the paper guides at the indicators for your paper size. After you have checked the paper size and the paper position, press Mono Start or Colour Start.
