As with any sophisticated office product, errors may occur and consumable items may need to be

displays the appropriate message. The most common error and maintenance messages are
shown in the table.
You can correct most errors and perform routine maintenance by yourself. If you need additional
help, the Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips:
