Error Message
Hub is Unusable.
Ink Absorber Full
InkAbsorberNearFull
86
Cause
A hub or USB Flash memory drive with
hub has been connected to the USB
direct interface.
The ink absorber box or flushing box is
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 itself
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.
NOTE
Repairs resulting from the use of
non-Brother supplies may not be
covered under the stated product
warranty.
The ink absorber box or flushing box is
nearly full.
Action
Hubs, including USB Flash memory
drives that have a built-in hub, are not
supported. Unplug the device from the
USB direct interface.
The ink absorber box or flushing box
will need to be replaced. Contact
Brother Customer Service or a Brother
Authorized Service Center to have
your machine serviced. (See Brother
numbers on page i.)
Other reasons for cleaning are:
1 After a paper jam has been
cleared, the machine automatically
cleans itself before the next
received fax is printed.
2 The machine automatically cleans
itself after sitting idle for more than
30 days (infrequent use).
3 The machine automatically cleans
itself after ink cartridges of the
same color have been replaced
12 times.
The ink absorber box or flushing box
will need to be replaced soon. Call
Brother Customer Service or a Brother
Authorized Service Center to have
your machine serviced. (See Brother
numbers on page i.)
