Introduction
Brother printers are designed to provide high-quality prints, and they require proper maintenance to ensure this quality. One of the maintenance procedures that Brother printers require is cleaning the ink cartridges. When you refill your Brother printer's ink cartridges, the ink levels will be reset to full, but you'll need to reset the ink counter so that the printer can properly display the ink levels. In this article, we will go through the steps involved in resetting the ink counter on a Brother printer.
Step 1: Locate and Enter Maintenance Mode
The first thing you need to do is enter maintenance mode on your Brother printer. To do this, turn off the printer and then turn it back on while pressing and holding the "Menu" button. The printer should display "Maintenance Mode" on the screen. You can now release the "Menu" button.
Step 2: Enter Maintenance Code
The next step is to enter the maintenance code for your Brother printer. The code varies depending on the printer model, so you'll need to consult your printer's manual to find the correct code. Once you have the code, enter it using the keypad. If you enter the code correctly, the printer will display "Maintenance" on the screen.
Step 3: Reset Ink Counter
Now, you can reset the ink counter on your Brother printer. To do this, press the "03" key on the keypad. The printer will display "Reset Menu" on the screen. Next, select the ink cartridge that you want to reset by using the up and down arrow keys. Once you've selected the cartridge, press the "OK" button. The printer will display "Yes" and "No" options. Select "Yes" to reset the ink counter for the selected cartridge.
Step 4: Exit Maintenance Mode
Once you have reset the ink counter for all the cartridges you want to refill, you can exit maintenance mode on your Brother printer. To do this, press the "99" key on the keypad. The printer will restart, and the ink counter should be reset to full for the cartridges that you refilled.
