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.
  • 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 image[Ink]>[Print Head Cleaning].
  2. Press [Start].
    The machine cleans the print head.
NOTE
If you clean the print head several times and the print has not improved, try the Special cleaning method. The Special cleaning method uses the most power in cleaning the print head, but also consumes the most ink.

  2. Press image for five seconds.
