What does 'Ink Low' mean on my Brother Printer?
If your Brother printer displays 'Ink Low', it means one or more ink cartridges are nearly empty. Order a new cartridge, but you can continue printing until the Touchscreen displays 'Cannot Print'.
Why does my Brother MFC-J985DW All in One Printer show Connection Error 02?
If you are getting a 'Connection Error 02' on your Brother All in One Printer, it means the printer isn't connected to the network. Ensure the network connection is stable. If you tried using Web or Apps right after turning on the printer, the network might not be ready yet. Give it some time and try again.
What to do if my Brother All in One Printer displays Connection Error 03?
A 'Connection Error 03' on your Brother All in One Printer indicates incorrect network or server settings, or a problem with the network or server itself. Verify that your network settings are correct. Alternatively, wait a bit and try again later. If you attempted to use the Web or Apps feature immediately after powering on the printer, the network connection might not have been fully established yet; in that case, wait and try again.
