In case of a problem or clarification or my solution was insufficient, don't hesitate to post me a reply.

If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

Plug your computer to the printer via USB cable, then turn off the printer... and turn it back on again, short term fix but works for me ...
Good luck

If it's under warranty you're in luck, you need a new printhead,LK3197001, around $80.00. I just replaced one yesterday in the shop for the same problem. I would call Brother customer service and see if they'll help cover the cost.

This is a possible printhead problem. Call brother may times they will do it was a warranty repair even after the warranty period.

Check if it has ink by swapping it with a kleenex. Aplply it ultrasound if still no ink flow, it's defective or dry and should be replaced

the ink cartridges are leaking,clean inside machine

User guide http://download.brother.com/welcome/doc002835/cv_mfc6710dw_use_busr_lx7144001_b.pdf says either a mechanical problem or could be foreign object like paper clip or torn paper inside the machine. Open the scanner cover to check for that.

I have had to take mine apart too. Nothing wrong with copy inks. If you can not be helpful dont bother doing an 'I told you so' you are not helping anyone just gloating at your snob values

This is commonly caused by a mark on the scanner plate. If you place your document to scan on the scanner plate (Lift the lid and place it on the glass plate) and scan or copy the document does it come out clean? If you feed the document through the Auto Document Feeder doe the line appear? If when place on the plate it is clean but fed through the ADF there is a line, then when you lift the lid on the scanner you will see a narrow glass plate at the end (Normally the left end) of the scanner plate. Give this glass a clean and your mark will go away. If the scan or copy is lined when using the Flatbed scanner and the ADF then the problem will be in the scanner lamp which will be probably uneconomical to fix.

Blocked Printheads and/or Alignment issues. Try cleaning the printheads and see if there are any increases in quality. Then start down the alignment road. Be very careful when tinkering with alignment. If you mess it up it may require a technician to realign it properly.

Could be paper bits in head path or change maintenance unit
