20 Most Recent Brother MFC-7440N Laser Printer Questions & Answers

For crying out loud. The "blotch" is caused by damage to the drum or to the toner fusing roller. If the "blotch" is loose toner (in other words you can smear it) then the fuser roller is damaged and that assembly needs to be replaced. If the "blotch" is fused (in other words you cannot smear it around) then the drum is damaged and that assembly needs to be replaced.The original MSRP for the Brother MFC-7440n in 2008 was $429 (US) / 213 pounds [FixYa couldn't handle the pound sign!! =8-) ] (UK) / $499 (AU). The present street value is about $199 according to Brother ( http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelCompare/4/MFC7440N_MFC7460DN#.UXBKKKLq3yA ). A drum unit is $80 (Amazon) or $115 (Staples).That same $200 could get you a Canon Pixma MX-922 (Canon http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/office_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mx922). Inkjet? Yes. But fast. Airprint. 2-sided ADF and copying. Auto-duplexing. CD/DVD disc printing. Frankly, if I didn't already have an Epson 835, I would buy this one. My old Canon 820 still chugs along as beautifully as the day I got it (about a zillion years ago).For $50 more you can get a top-rated laser, their imageCLASS MF4880dw (though oddly, without Airprint - for Airprint in a Canon laser, you have to step up to the big boy: the imageCLASS MF8580Cdw).. Well. Have fun!

You need to clean the narrow glass strip on the left side of the machine when you open the cover. There is likely lint or something on this glass. This is where the auto document feeder pages are "imaged".

The MFC-7440N is a mono (i.e. black toner only) laser printer, so it has no colour printing capability.

Most likely it is an issue with the Drum Unit. Start by cleaning the Corona Wire. There will be a slider on the top of the Drum Unit. Slide it all the way to the other side and back to where the arrows meet and try your print again. If this does not fix the problem replace the drum unit as the drum itself may be worn. The drums are rated to do 12,000 pages and it has probably done this. 12,000 pages equates to about 5-6 cartridges.

Did you insert a brand new toner cartridge or refill only, if you insert a brand new they read your toner cartridge, if you insert a refill toner cartridge, first you need to reset the toner cartridge, i think in the right side, or left please switch and back to normal position.

It might be the heater not getting enough power. Check and see if the Printer is directly plugged to the wall outlet or to a power regulator. If it is powered through a power regulator then try plugging it directly to the wall and see if the problem is solved. You might wanna check the voltage power of both the printer and the outlet before you go on with this.

First Open the front cover while the power supply of the machine is ON, Then Press the Clear/Back button. Then Press the 1 button. Then Close the front cover. Good Luck

Have the printer "Fuser" tested. It might be the reason behind that.

try to replace new power supply, or check first the cable,
