Error and Maintenance Messages
As with any sophisticated office product, errors may occur and supply items may have to be replaced. If this
happens, your machine identifies the error or required routine maintenance and shows the appropriate message.
The most common error and maintenance messages are shown in the table.
You can correct most errors and perform routine maintenance yourself. If you need more tips, go to your model's
FAQs & Troubleshooting page on the Brother Solutions Center at support.brother.com.

The amount of remaining ink in one or
more of the ink tanks (except black) is

This error message may appear if the ink
dot counter is incorrect even if some ink
remains.
While this message appears on the LCD,
each operation works in the following way:
• Printing
If the media type is set to Plain Paper
in the Basic tab, and Greyscale is
chosen in the Advanced tab of the
printer driver, you can use the machine
as a monochrome printer.
• Copying
If the paper type is set to Plain
Paper, you can make copies in
monochrome.
• Faxing
If the paper type is set to Plain
Paper, the machine will receive and
print the faxes in monochrome.
Refill the ink tank.
When you refill the ink tank, fill the ink up
to the upper line, or fill with all of the ink in
the bottle if it does not exceed the upper
line.
A message may appear on the LCD to
verify whether the ink tanks were refilled.
Press a (Yes) to reset the ink dot counter
for the refilled colour. Press b (No) for the
non-refilled colours.

The machine may stop all print operations
and you may not be able to use the
machine until you refill the ink tank in the
following cases:
• If you unplug the machine.
• If you select the Slow Drying Paper
option on the machine or in the printer
driver.
