Clean the Print Head from Your Brother Machine
To maintain good print quality, the machine automatically cleans the print head when needed. If there is a print
quality problem, start the cleaning process manually.
•
Clean the print head if there is a horizontal line or a blank space in the text or graphics on printed pages.
Depending on the problem color, select to clean Black only, three colors at a time (Yellow/Cyan/Magenta), or
all four colors at once.
•
Cleaning the print head consumes ink.
•
Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause permanent damage and may void the print
head's warranty.
1. Press
[Ink] > [Print Head Cleaning].
2. Press [Black only], [Color only], or [All].
3. Press [Normal], [Strong], or [Strongest].
4. Press [Start].
The machine cleans the print head.
•
If the print quality has not improved, repeat the cleaning process. If the print quality does not improve
after repeating the cleaning process several times, contact Brother Customer Service.
•
You can also clean the print head from your computer.
