Error and Maintenance messages B As with any sophisticated office product, errors may occur and consumable items may need to be replaced. If this happens, your machine identifies the error and shows an error message. The most common error and maintenance messages are shown below. You can correct most errors and routine maintenance messages by yourself. If you need more help, the Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips. Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com. Error Message B&W Print Only Cause Action One or more of the color ink cartridges are empty. Replace the empty ink cartridge. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 161.) While this message appears on the LCD, each operation works in the following way: „ Printing If you click Grayscale in the Advanced tab of the printer driver you can use the machine as a black & white printer for approximately four weeks depending on the number of pages you print. „ Copying If the paper type is set to Plain Paper or Inkjet Paper you can make copies in black & white. „ Faxing If the paper type is set to Plain Paper, Inkjet Paper or Transparency the machine will receive and print the faxes in black & white. If a sending machine has a color fax, the machine's handshake will ask that the fax be sent as black & white. If the paper type is set to Other Glossy or Brother BP71, the machine will stop all print operations. If you unplug the machine, or take out the empty ink cartridge, you cannot use the machine until you change to a new ink cartridge. Replace the empty ink cartridges.
