Printing
DifficultySuggestions
No printout Check the interface cable on both the machine and your computer. 
(See the Quick Setup Guide.)
Make sure the machine is plugged in and not turned off.
One or more ink cartridges are empty. 
(See Replacing the ink cartridgeson page 76.)
Check to see if the LCD is showing an error message. 
(See Error messageson page 71.)
Check that the correct printer driver has been installed and chosen.
Make sure that the machine is online. Click Start and then Printers and Faxes. 
Right-click and choose Brother DCP-XXXX (where XXXX is your model name), 
and make sure that Use Printer Offline is unchecked.
Poor print quality Check the print quality. (See Checking the print qualityon page 81.) 
Make sure that the Media Type setting in the printer driver or the Paper Type 
setting in the machine’s menu matches the type of paper you are using. 
(See Printing for Windows®
 or Printing and Faxing for Macintosh®
 in the Software 
Users Guide on the CD
-ROM.) 
Make sure that your ink cartridges are fresh. The following may cause ink to clog:
„The expiration date written on the cartridge package has passed. 
(Cartridges stay usable for up to two years if kept in their original packaging.)
„The ink cartridge was in your machine over six months.
„The ink cartridge may not have been stored properly before use.
Try using the recommended types of paper. (See Acceptable paper and other 
mediaon page 12.) 
The recommended environment for your machine is between 20° C to 33° C.
White horizontal lines appear in text 
or graphics.Clean the print head. (See Cleaning the print headon page 81.)
Try using the recommended types of paper. (See Acceptable paper and other
