What and where is the ink box? - Brother DCP 115C All-In-One InkJet Printer

Yes, you need to change the maintenance box when it is full. The box stores the waste ink that goes through the print head during a cleaning cycle. Without changing this, you could get ink throughout the printer. This could damage the hardware in the printer.

The maintenance box for the WP-4020 is available here: https://epson.com/Accessories/Printer-Accessories/T6710-Ink-Maintenance-Box-T671000/p/T671000 . You can see the replacement instructions here: https://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/wfp4020/wfp4020ug/index.html .

I hope this helps.

It may refer to the ink "overflow" box. When your printer cycles, it will dump a bit of ink which goes into a collection box. Most likely, that box is full and needs to be emptied, replaced, or whatever.

The ink absorber box or flushing box is nearly full. These components are periodic maintenance items that may require replacement after a period of time to ensure optimum performance from your Brother machine. Because these components are periodic maintenance items, the replacement is not covered under the warranty. The need to replace these items and the time period before replacement is dependent on the number of purges and flushes required to clean the ink system. These boxes acquire amounts of ink during the different purging and flushing operations. The number of times a machine purges and flushes for cleaning varies depending on different situations. For example, frequently powering the machine on and off will cause numerous cleaning cycles since the machine automatically cleans upon power up. The use of non-Brother ink may cause frequent cleanings because non-Brother ink could cause poor print quality which is resolved by cleaning. The more cleaning the machine requires the faster these boxes will fill up.Solution Replace ink box replacement Or you can try to vacuum the toner out of the ink box Ink box is container to the far right . gl edward austin associates

The ink absorber box or flushing box will need to be replaced.

Other reasons for cleaning are:

1. Machine automatically cleans after clearing a printer jam.
2. Machine automatically cleans after sitting idle for more than 45 days (infrequent use).

Your Ink Absorber box is full. The machine cleans its print nozzles by blasting them out with ink; it collects that waste ink and pumps it into a plastic box filled with thick, felt pads. After a certain number of cleaning operations, it decides it's not safe to squirt more ink into the box and gives this Error 46. Replacing the ink absorber box and flushing box and resetting the purge counter is fairly complex. Maybe someone has instructions all typed out, but your best bet is probably to take it to a Brother tech.

Its Ink Absorber Box is full. Inside the machine, in the back and hidden under the covers is a large plastic box with thick, felt pads packed in it. Every time the machine cleans its printheads, it squirts ink through all its nozzles, collects the mess, and pumps it into that box. After a few thousand cleaning operations, it decides the box is dangerously full of ink and throws up that Error 46.
Getting to the Ink Absorber Box (part number LP1270001) is fairly complex. I think it's time to ask a tech what he/she charges.
