"UNABLE TO..." or "MEMORY DISABLED" message appearing on the LCD. What does it mean and how do I clear it?
When trying to use your Brother machine you get the message "UNABLE TO _____". The blank may be the word Change, PRINT, SCAN or INIT.
This message is a general message and will appear for different reasons. It often indicates a paper jam or a mechanical issue. Complete the following to determine the possible issue.
-
Check for foreign objects, such as a clip or ripped paper, inside the machine.
Open the top cover and remove any foreign obstacles from inside the fax machine. If you see jammed paper or another item inside this area, gently pull it out and then close the top cover securely.
- If the error continues to appear, the machine may have a mechanical problem.
