    • Fissa insieme con del nastro adesivo la parte superiore della stampante e dello scanner

    • *Nota: io ho iniziato con i vassoi della carta già rimossi

    Thanks To Filipe Silva Comment below, if you only need to clean the print head you do not need to pull the hole printer apart. I needed to replace my printhead and there were no manuals on how to strip the printer down at the time.

    Thanks for the guide. But I don't think you need to tear apart the printer to do that, just start a print cycle and when the printhead moves, plug the printer off. then you can freely move the print head and put the paper towel under it.

    • Rimuovi il coperchio sul lato destro e scopri il cavo a nastro. Usa delicatamente delle pinzette nelle linguette per liberarlo.

    • Scollega il cavo a nastro e fallo scorrere fuori.

    • *Nota per il riassemblaggio: i supporti di posizionamento del cavo a nastro possono essere rimossi per facilitare il reinserimento del cavo a nastro spingendo delicatamente le linguette verso il basso con lo spudger.

    how did you use the spudger to unplug the cable, you wouldn't think it is necessary to take a photo for this step to make our lives much easier!!!

    • Usando uno spudger, premi sull'alloggiamento di plastica del carrello su cui poggia la testina di stampa.

    • Fai scorrere la testina di stampa verso sinistra liberandola per muoversi.

    This can also be done in very beginning by keeping the printer on. Open the panel and pressing the stop button for 5 seconds. The printer head should align itself to center.

    • Fai scorrere la testina di stampa a sinistra fino a quando non si trova alla fine della guida. Si può sentire che si stacca (sollevala verso l'alto quando si allinea con la tacca intagliata).

    • Spingi l'unità della testina di stampa verso il retro del dispositivo e solleva l'unità dalla guida posteriore.

    • Usando lo spudger, premi la sezione della molla della puleggia bianca.

    • Rilascia il trasportatore dalla puleggia mentre la molla è ancora compressa.

    • Rimuovi il trasportatore dall'ingranaggio sull'altro lato del dispositivo.

    My advice? DON'T purchase a brother printer. In as little as a month after your warranty is up, BROTHER Customer Service WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP YOU. I repeat, they will DO NOTHING TO HELP YOU. Brother Pri nters ARE A MONEY PIT just to keep them maintained, and if you don't print some misc. color print pages on "off" days that you don't use it, the print nozzles start to build up with dried ink. Now I know this posting is old but maybe I'll get a response. Step 13- am I to assume that you put the drops of h2o on folded paper towel b4 you rest the print head assembly on it? What does the paper towel/print head assembly rest on? Does it rest on the "park position"? Also, I am opting to do the shorter step as stated by F. Silva, in you comments section. I am aware that his is not a guide, per-say, and I will take that into account. Thank you in advance for your time.

    • Come pulire con la carta assorbente

    • Strappa un singolo foglio di carta assorbente a metà. Piega il foglio a metà diverse volte fino a quando non è largo circa 1,3 cm.

    • Metti alcune gocce di acqua distillata in cima alla carta assorbente e mettila nel trogolo sotto la testina di stampa. Sposta la testina di stampa sopra il tovagliolo e lasciala riposare per almeno 15 minuti. Questo ammorbidirà l'inchiostro sulla testina di stampa.

    • Sposta il gruppo della testina di stampa nella sua posizione di riposo. Probabilmente noterai che il tovagliolo di carta ora ha una grande chiazza nera di inchiostro su di esso (c'è così tanto inchiostro in eccesso sulla testina di stampa che tutti i colori si stanno mescolando per fare il nero).

    • Se non si riescono a vedere chiaramente i singoli colori, inumidisci un altro punto del tovagliolo di carta e sposta la testina di stampa sul punto appena inumidito del tovagliolo di carta. Continua a ripetere questa operazione finché non si vedono tutti i singoli colori.

    • *Nota: quando riassembli, assicurati di riportare la testina di stampa nella sua posizione di riposo (il lato estremo destro sopra il carrello).

Conclusione

Per riassemblare il dispositivo, segui queste istruzioni in ordine inverso.

Filipe Silva -

Thank you! Thank you! I was getting no magenta ink at all - I tried this, took me 2 minutes and viola! It works perfectly now! Thank you!!!!!

Kris Smith -

Yes! Best comment ever! Saved me so much work. Let it sit 15 mins, instant success did 1 Cleaning and perfect printing.

Sergio Camano-Valencia -

Hello Filipe,

I have a problem with my printer and I came across this page. I have a Brother MFC-240C printer.

How do I reach the printerhead to clean it? Do I need to take off the top cover to reach it?

Thank you for your help.

Patrik Der Ashodian -

Thanks Filipe for the extra advice :) I had already tried the paper towel method on my printer it did not work for me my print head was damaged and I had to replace it. I could not find any strip downs of my Printer at the time of posting this tutorial so I thought it was more useful for others in the future going this route

crystalbic -

Great post, @crystal_b, and best comment ever, @Filipe. With this, I won't have to buy a new printer! It prints like new again.

Carlos Ugaz -

This all day long!

My 8 year old MFC was totally 100% dead for black printing.

I stuck a wad of damp paper in the trough under the printhead, and slid the printhead over the wad and left it for a bit. I then slid the printhead over the wad a few times, with a couple of replacement wads on the way, and left it to dry for a few hours.

Black didn't work straight away, but after 3 head cleans it was appearing. After 12 head cleans it was back to full health.

Not cheap, ink-wise, but better than chucking the whole thing out and starting again.

(One tip: do not try using a damp tampon cut to size as your wad. I initially did, and ended up with a print head section covered in gunky gel. Duh.)

Stuart236 -

Thank you Filipe Silva! You have saved two hours of futility in my life. This worked well to allow for printing again.

bbinbaltimore31 -

your idea is admirable I also do one of this particle with my printer head I made a vacume box on which printer head can be fix over with rubber bands to make airtight as when the air is sucked out from the box the the ink itself open the nozzles and after cleaning it with paper towel replace in its original position then the collected ink in the box should be clean for next use .... The box is 15x5x3.5 cm with side tube to suck air.

Vinod Kumar Sharma -

Wish I had read the comments before I removed the display cover! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! However the method of cleaning described in step 16 of just putting the paper towel under the print head with distilled water did wonders for my problem! Thanks!

I have Brother DCP-T700W whose color nozzles seem to have got clogged. Auto cleaning did not solve. I want to detach the print head and unclog the clogged nozzles. Could you please provide me the procedure to detach the print head?

khadgarai286 -

Thank you for such helpful post! I did something wrong and now I get Unable to clean 30 Error.

Do you happen to know the reason. I couldn’t any on internet.

Anish -

Is it OK to just use demineralised water or does it have to be distilled?

Ian Turnbull -

Saved me a $200 geeks quad plan and a $150 shop fee. 15 mins with a wet napkin. I still can't believe it!

Sergio Camano-Valencia -

I am so happy to have run into this article and Felipe Silva’s comment. I used warm (hot out of the faucet, but warm by the time I got it in there) tap water on a paper towel and it worked like magic. Despite many cleaning cycles I was getting only about half of the jets firing in the test print and after this method of cleaning all colors were firing 100%. I suppose if I had to do this every day I would use special water (distilled, demineralized, or de-ionized) to avoid scale buildup, but for a once a year process I have no concern using tap water.

David Coyle -

Possibly dumb question…how do you know when the print head has actually moved to get it off the home position when you remove power. I've used a syringe to push (gently) alcohol through individual colour nozzles and it only unclogged about 50% of them so I thought I'd try this. But that requires more teardown so I thought I'd try Filipes method.

Graeme Johnsen -

I figured out if I hold a pen in the cover open button, when I print a page I can see the head move to the left then unplug it b4 it starts to print

crystalbic -

I DID it!!! Thank you @crystalbic and @Filipe for this post! I used Filipe’s technique for getting the printer head element to be loose on the rails and crystalbic’s technique with the damp paper towel for cleaning the heads. It took about 8 paper towels but it absolutely WORKED with minimal effort! THANK YOU both for contributing your solutions!!!

Suzanne Branch -

I tried using the paper towel by sliding it under the print head, and it worked GREAT. To get the print head to the center of the printer, I pressed and held the red X on an MFC-J6935DW. Once the print head moved to the center position, I gently moved the print head across the paper towel that I had cut to fit. I then lifted both ends of the paper towel and slid it back and forth. I printed a test page and was amazed at the results. I was not missing anything on the page.

Carol Leach -

I had an error 44 "Unable to print" problem with a DCP-J552N printer.
It turned out that the head itself was fine but one of the 2 sensors mounted on the pcb that connects to the head were dirty.
There was no need to replace the head itself.
Somehow a little piece of dust can render this printer completely unusable.

Sjaak Spoiler -

Suspect that I may have the same problem - what is the pcb and any hints on how to recognize it? Thanks.

Terry Daniel -

Have a Brother inkjet printer with many new spear ink cartridges, just the printer " print" only plain white paper; no any ink/text etc. is applied on the paper. Blank white paper coming out only.
