FAQs & Troubleshooting
My machine does regular cleaning cycles in the night. How can I correct this?
Your Brother machine will perform maintenance purges of the print head at regular intervals.
If the time setting on the machine is not correct, the cleaning will be performed at an unexpected time.
Make sure the time is set correctly on your Brother machine.
To see how to program the time, refer to the Related FAQs at the end of the page.
You can not change or turn off the regular cleaning cycles.
