A print unable message in a Brother inkjet usually means the waste ink chamber is full. This can be fixed by removing the waste bottle, cleaning and drying the pads inside, then reassembling the machine and resetting the purge counter. Most of the instructions for this can be found on u-tube. Please note it is a messy job and many folk just replace the machine.

out of toner?

Did you actually change any parts or just reset a warning? If you were getting a full error, chances are the purge system was full and needs to be changed. Likely what the problem you are having is that ink from the purge system is backing up and polluting your print heads.

There is a chance that you have some bits of paper in the paper feed. This can cause the jam. Take the paper feed out and with a straw simply blow out and paper dust and pieces. Turn off machine first. There is something physical in the way causing this and not software related.

Not Printing ? if so, please advice to give you cleaning instructions. English unfortunately

Try one or more of these options: Replace the maintenance unit,Replace the engine unit,Replace the power supply PCB,Replace the main PCB.

re install soft ware

'unable to print 73' is a Printhead error.. Usually the printhead is an expensive part around $80 to $110, and you will need a full set of cartridges to prime the new printhead.. Sorry to say that this repair is not normally economical to go ahead with.

First thing you need to do is to reset it. If you reset it and continue to use it without completing the process of cleaning it out completely you will have the waste ink tank overflow causing major damage to the machine, your desk it is on and possably the carpet, curtains and anything even close to touching the machine and subsequent items being touched by the machine. Ink on a non-porous material will travel a very long way damaging everything in it's path. Menu - Black Start - Up Arrow x4 This needs to be done in the space of about 5 seconds. On the screen should now read Maintenance. using the up and down arrows get the LCD screen to read the following: Between each number you need to press the 'OK' Button 8 0 This is now in Function 80 which is the system log. Use the black start button to get to the log for Purge or Flush counter it is normally somewhere in the region of 25th in the list. Once you are on this item. Use the up and down arrows and the OK button to do the following sequence: 2 7 8 3 This will reset the purge/flush counter to 0 Press the Stop button to return to the Maintenance on the LCD screen point. use the up and down arrows and ok button to do the sequence: 9 9 This will exit you from the Maintenace Mode. Now you will have reset the counter but you are not done yet. We are up to the hard part now and the messiest. You need to clean the Waste Ink Tank out. You have to dismantle the printer to get to the waste ink tank. This requires a bit of knowhow to do it without damaging the machine but you can't get the knowhow without opening up the machine. This will require removing several screws and unclipping various parts of the casing then removing several cables to allow the different parts to seperate. If you are unsure or don't want to risk it don't do it as damaging the machine or the electronics inside the machine just means shelling out for a new printer and rather than spend the time to reset the machine and cleaning it out only to replace the machine because of a broken part on dissasembly or reassembly you may just want to replace it outright. It may be in one of two places. Depends on the machine. The cleaning process is the same for both systems. The easiest machines have it in a box behind the paper feed mechanisim. Disconnect the two feed tubes from the box and remove the box. Break the plastic seal over the Waste Ink Tank material. The not so easy machine has the waste ink tank underneath the main chassis of the printer. You have to lift all the components if the machine up to get to the waste ink tank. Do this to access the material. Remove the material and clean it out using lots of running water squeezing as much ink from the material as possible. Wrapping it in Newspaper to absorb water put it on the ground and stand on it to squeeze any water out. Place the material aside for a couple of days in a warm dry place to completely dry out. Put the material back in the respective waste ink locations as shown above. Then reassemble the machine and test. Failure to complete the cleaning process I stress again WILL result in the overflowing of the Waste Ink Tank. Proceed at your own risk.

maintenance unit is not working normally. See if any thing is stuck or replace it.

The Brother manual says that you are required to replace the ink absorber box at a Brother Service Center. This is not an item covered by warranty. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/437931/Brother-Dcp-J140w.html?page=44

Sorry but I need more information

Error code EF - Irregular power supply is detected Print Unable EF Turn the power off and then back on again.

you have a blocked or faulty printhead/ inksystem, you can print an internal print quality check and do deep head cleans, but in my experience this only helps 10-20% of the time. deep head cleans use A LOT of ink if you dont see a big improvment after 2 deep head cleans dont continue as you are just wasting ink

Replace the toner with one bought either from a Brother Stockist or a remanufacturer of toner cartridges.

Refer its user manual for details. It is not practical to type in all the procedure here by this window. Electro help
