I supose the keybord of that Brother DCP causes this problem. Turn off the machine and try it again. If it does not work afterwords, the machine needs an new keyboard I am afraid.

Type "99" and press enter, or just power down and back on again.

open the front cover and remove the drum unit and install the drum, like you see in this picture:

You will need to replace the drum soon. Once the drum life ends you will no longer be able to print.

The model drum you need is DR-510, It goes for anywhere between 175-250 dollars, depending where you buy.

remove the toner cartridge on the side wall inside the printer on the right there are 4 wires that stick out to make contact with the contacts on the side of the toner make sure that these are not bent and stand straight out. remove toner and reseat the toner to the drum unit and reinstall

This error means that the Main motor is not synchronising with the reference clock.

This can be caused by several things...

1. Could be a faulty motor.
2. A faulty Engine Circuit Boaard.
3. Fault on the Main PCB.
4. A siezed Drum unit.
5. Something seized up in the drive train.
   

Try to get it to start up with the Drum unit removed, if it does the initial rotations OK with no Drum unit installed, then try a new Drum unit.

Failing that, you will need to dismantle and inspect all the drive train and motor assemblies.

Good luck.

6E
Heater temperature does not go up enough.
(Slower temperature rise rate than 2°C/5
sec. is detected.)

To cancel the trouble status follows these steps:
STEP1 .Press MENU *,2,8,6,4
STEP2.The machine beeps for approx. one second and displays “MAINTENANCE" on the
LCD, indicating that it is placed in the initial stage of the maintenance mode, a mode in which
the machine is ready to accept entry from the keys.

STEP3.Now you are inside the simulation Press 01 to reset the trouble status.

STEP4.To exit the simulation press 99

• Pressing the 9 key twice in the initial stage of the maintenance mode makes the machine
exit from the maintenance mode, restoring it to the standby state.
• Pressing the Stop button after entering only one digit restores the machine to the initial
stage of the maintenance mode.


If again 6E occurs try to check the halogen lamp or power supply PCB.Contact authorized technician to do this checking.
