Answer 1

Here is a list of error codes and how to clear them:

RAM clear (most models)

Quickly press function * 2 8 6 4

Display should read maintenance

Press 0 1 for a full ram clear, or 9 1 to retain user data

Display should read reinit for a few moments then redisplay maintenance

Press 9 9 to exit the maintenance mode

Other maintenance mode switches:

01 ram clear (see 91 below)

02 scanner initialize (feed a white sheet, then a black sheet)

05 white level

09 print test

10 modify soft switches

11 print configuration list

16 panel test

19 CML test

20 signal test

21 tonal test

23 filter RX

54 scan edge

55 scanner area

66 test print memo

75 display drum life (if enabled on laser models)

76 reset drum life counter (laser models)

91 parameter initialize (user programming remains intact)

95 protection

B2 error = scanner or power supply error

Brother 950/980: On copy or transmit they may produce black pages. Prone to bad scanner (CCD). Brother may provide a replacement CCD at no charge to the original owner. Sometimes leaving the unit unplugged for a few hours will solve the problem temporarily.

Brother HL600 series laser printer toner will work in the laser fax & multifunction machines (part number TN100HL = TN100PPF). Drum units may be interchangeable as well (?).

Brother 1350/1550/1950: Problem: Record paper jams. Solution: Replace upper shoot. P/N UF6058001. Although there seems to be nothing causing the jam, the upper shoot gets stress marks on the ends. Replace even though it is not broken.

Thermal Transfer Machines: Only one side of the page is printing. Caused by the printhead latch being cracked. The latch is blue in color there is one on each side of the printhead, replace both latches

If the above does not work, you will have to open the printer to fix the encoder strip which might be stained with ink (in this case it has to be replaced).
