CANNOT GET OCR FEATURE TO WORK ON BROTHER 9440CN

Hello,

Best wishes,

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/mark_7bbaa7a1174e0903

The most common remedy is to clean the drum unit, but you have replaced that. Try cleaning the corona wires, p144 here

Brother has the software and drivers that came on the CD-ROM on their support site: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_top.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc465cn_all . Select your OS and the language in the menus. Download the full software from the first link (at least on the Win7 drivers list) to use all of the features of your printer. If you download just the drivers, the buttons on the multi-function printer will not trigger any action by the computer. If you need the manual, the link is: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/doc/manual_top.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc465cn_all . Again select your language.

However, any third party software that was on the disc will not be available. (The OEM copy of PaperPort SE with OCR was on the CD for Windows systems.) You'll need the original disc or to replace the software with the full version if you use it. (You would need OmniPage to replace PaperPort SE with OCR. PaperPort and PaperPort Pro do not include OCR capabilities.) There are other programs that do this as well.

I hope this helps.

The only real way to make this printer wireless, is to connect its ethernet port to a wireless router and via the router, send jobs to the printer wirelessly. hope this helps. Cost is about $60-$70 for the router.

select the operating system you are using.

Hello,
Run the Brother Control Center. Click Device settings. Click where it says Inklevel.

A simpler way is Start-->All Programs-->Brother--> ...-->Status Monitor.
An icon will lodge itself on the tray (a printer). When icon is clicked on, the inklevels will show.

Hope it helps.
