Clean unable 5A error message
Hello, the error message your printer display is as a result of your printer's purge until it had reached it counter limit and you have to reset
the printer by leaving it unplugged for at least 2 hours and then boot
it back up. this will flash the memory of the machine.
Thanks
I just bought new black
Ok you have to change your printing settings to operate from the black ink cartridge. You are still printing under colour.
Keeps saying there is a paper jam and there is no paper jam what so ever
Still the logic board thinks there must be a paper jam. Could be caused by a defective sensor, bad connection from sensor to logic board or a defective logic board. And what is very common, something dropped in the printer and really blocks a sensor.
check all places where the paper can go, if perhaps a paperclip or a little scrap od paper is blocking a sensor.
Or contact a service centre, or perhaps you start sving for a new printer?
Paper jam on a brother MFC-290C
Sounds like there is still paper in there, carefully move the carriage assembly to the left and look in with a flashlight, also check the left side with the light. Usually paper gets wrinkled and shoved to one side or the other.
Unable clean 5A
the purge cam is not working properly, if you do not see some type of paper crumbled up in the left side or right in the direction the printhead needs to move, then its something more serious. you will need to send the printer to your local service center, if you can find one, we can help.
thanks
