20 Most Recent Brother MFC295CNAll-In-One InkJet Printer Questions & Answers

I am afraid you cannot print if (any) one of the cartridges is empty. Here is a screen capture from the properties of my MFC. At the bottom of the picture it says in French : Le MFC arrêtera l'impression Couleur/échelle de gris lorsqu'une ou plus des cartouches d'encre sera vide.

What it say in English is as follows: The MFC will stop printing in Color/Gray scale when one or more of the ink cartidges is empty.



Open the properties of the MFC. Under "Advanced" Tab Click the Printing Defaults at the bottom left. At the bottom of the window that pops up you will see the information that I translated for You.

With this printer, the printhead replacement is very difficult. You would have to dismantle the entire printer. This is definitely a job for a professional

CLOGGED PRINT HEAD: use an alcohol windex solution on a folded paper towel under print head. I let it soak for ~2 hrs to unclog head. I found details and a video by using google

This machine doesn't have a "waste cartridge" as such. The waste ink created when the machine cleans, flushes and purges the print head and ink supply mechanism, is dumped in to two separte recepticles - the Flushing Box and the Ink Absorber Box. Both of these boxes are located deep inside the machine and require substantial disassembly of the machine in order to reach them. In Brother's terms, they are not "user replaceable items" and are only supposed to be replaced by Brother technicians and/or a Brother service centre. They are available from specialist suppliers BUT are very expensive, so expensive that more often than not, it's cheaper to buy a new machine. However, if the reason for asking is because you have an error something along the lines of "unable to clean", this maybe that the Flushing/Purge counters have reached the limit set by Brother. These limits are very, very conservative (if too much ink is dumped into the Boxes it could overflow), so many peolpe (including me) just reset them back to zero. If you search Google or YouTube, you'll ome across many articles showing you how to do this.

This is the text accompanying Brother's error code 4F:"The head drive voltage hasdropped from the high tolow level in an abnormallyshort period.The head drive voltage hasnot risen to the specifiedlevel within the specifiedperiod in the self diagnosis."The manual states this can only be cured by a replacement print head and/or main circuit board - they are still available but will cost you almost as much as a new machine (plus fitting).Sorry, but your machine is beyond economic repair.

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent ink drying out and blocking the print head nozzles. If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages, then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive. It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer than replace the print head.

Follow the steps listed below:

1. Check for foreign objects, such as a paper clip or scrap of paper, inside the machine.
   Disconnect the machine from the power outlet and open the scanner cover by pulling up on the lower right corner of the cover. Look inside the machine and remove any foreign objects. If you see jammed paper or another item inside this area, gently pull it out and then close the scanner cover securely.
   
   
2. If the error continues to appear, move the print head and examine under the print head.

NOTE : The images shown below are from the representative product and may differ from your Brother machine.

2-1.Disconnect the Brother machine from the poweroutlet.
2-2.Open the scanner cover by pulling up on the lower right corner of the cover.

Caution Be careful not to force the print head to move.
If the print head is positioned at the far right hand side, you cannot move it. Please contact Brother Customer Service from "Contact Us".

2-5.Examine under the print head. If anything is found, remove it.

Hint Use a flashlight if necessary to check thoroughly.
