  nburnsSep 5, 2025
  If your Brother All in One Printer displays 'Touchscreen Init. Failed', it may be because: * The Touchscreen was pressed before the power on initialization was completed. Make sure that nothing is touching or resting on the Touchscreen, especially when plugging the machine in. * Debris may be stuck between the lower part of the Touchscreen and its frame. Insert a piece of stiff paper between the lower part of the Touchscreen and its frame and slide it back and forth to push out the debris.

Why is my Brother All in One Printer only printing B&W and asking to replace ink?

  Tony SpencerAug 25, 2025
  If your Brother All in One Printer is only printing in B&W 1-sided and prompts you to replace ink, it indicates that one or more of the color ink cartridges have reached the end of their life. Replace the ink cartridges, as the machine will stop all print operations until a new ink cartridge is installed.

  Amanda RoySep 6, 2025
  If your Brother All in One Printer displays 'Media is Full', it could be due to: * The memory card or USB Flash drive you are using already contains 999 files. Your machine can only save if it contains less than 999 files. Delete unused files and try again. * The memory card or USB Flash drive you are using does not have enough free space to scan the documents.
