Clean the Print Head from Your Brother Machine

To maintain good print quality, the machine automatically cleans the print head when needed. If there is a print
quality problem, start the cleaning process manually.
• Clean the print head if there is a horizontal line or a blank space in the text or graphics on printed pages.
Depending on the problem colour, select to clean Black only, three colours at a time (Yellow/Cyan/Magenta),
or all four colours at once.
• Cleaning the print head consumes ink.
• Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause permanent damage and may void the print
head's warranty.
1. Press [Settings] > [Maintenance] > [Print Head Cleaning].
2. Press [Black only], [Colour only], or [All].
3. Press [Normal], [Strong], or [Strongest].
4. Press [Start].
The machine cleans the print head.
• If you clean the print head and the print has not improved, try installing a new Brother Original
replacement ink cartridge for each problem colour. Try cleaning the print head again. If the print has not
improved, contact Brother customer service or your local Brother dealer.
• You can also clean the print head from your computer.
