No ;-)

The encoder strip switched off the ph and has to be set into place again.
see here how to fix it:

(enlarge the browser window to see pics somewhat better)

An advice:
when you have set the encoder strip in pos. again stick some scotch tape on the top of the ph cover where the strip runs thru to prevend the slipping off again on next paper jam ;-)

MY BROTHER PRINTER DCP-395 CN ERROR IN UNABLE TO INTI 4F PLEASE SOLUTION

This error is associated with the self test the printer does on the print head during power-up of the printer.

Sadly, it is indicative of either a faulty print head or a faulty main control board, neither of which are easy or inexpensive to replace.

Unless you can get hold of another machine with a different fault and swap over the print head and/or board (you'll need very good skills and tools to do this) then I'm afraid the machine is beyond economic repair*.

* Brother will repair your machine but the cost will likley be more than a new one.

I am getting error Unable to Clean 50 My brother printer model is DCP -330C..Anyone got any idea??Plz help

I'm afraid there is no simple solution to this problem.
Error codes 50 and 51 refer to problems with the purging mechanism - some of the whirring and clicking noises you hear when the machine self cleans or starts up are it purging ink from the print head. Through some very clever mechanics, the machine uses the paper feed motor (running in the opposite direction to normal) to perform purging.
Possible causes listed in the Brother Service Manual for this error code range from "simple" things like a misaligned cam, to complex problems with the main control board. However, whatever it is, dismantling these machines isn't staright forward and parts are very diffciult to obtain and very, very expensive, so much so that 99 times out of a 100, it isn't cost effective to repair.
You could approach a Brother service agent, but it's highly probably that they will charge you more than buying an equivalent brand new machine.
Sorry.

Want the reset info for g46 unable to clean .dcp-330c .and would it be better to clean the waste pad as well?cheers.

Cleaning won't help as it's a counter that sets the error. It's a sealed plastic box that needs to be replaced and then reset thru service mode.Brother only gives the reset codes to authorized service centers.

Brother DCP 330C

This COULD BE that there is some paper stuck in the dcp. Open cover and try to see if there is some paper left in the machine. I ve noticed, that -seeing from behind!- on the right side paperpieces are stuck and disturb the disk (foil) which give the printer info what to do. Open cover and try to look into the edges (seeing from the front: its the left side -where the modell name is printed) In some cases this means that the purgecamshaft is defective.
