The steps below are applicable to a variety of Brother inkjet printers with a

tochscreen and have been confirmed on the printers below:

Brother DCP-J525W, DCP-J725DW, MFC-795CW, DCP-J925DW, MFC-990CW, DCP-6690CW, MFC-

J5910DW, MFC-J825W and MFC-J6910DW.

To enter maintenance mode just press "menu" in the touchscreen then press * 2864 on
the numeric pad

These steps are written assuming that your printer is on, ready to print and any
cards currently plugged into your media card centre have been removed (if
applicable).

First of all remove the power cable from the printer and hold down START.
Now re-insert the power cable with START still held down. Keep START held until
�Please Wait� appears and then release.

To enter maintenance mode just press "menu" in the touchscreen then press * 2864 on
the numeric pad

Your screen should now read MAINTENANCE.

Type in 80 using the keypad on screen or the printers own numerical pad (if it
has one).
Using the on screen controls find the screen that has up and down buttons.
Use the up and down buttons to change the menu at the top of screen (where
MAINTENANCE was) until it reads PURGE followed by a series of numbers.
Enter 2, 7, 8 and 3 using the buttons on screen or the numerical pad.
You should now see the numbers next to PURGE set to all zeros.
Press STOP to return to normal operation.

Your purge counter is now reset and you should notice the error message is gone,
allowing you to print once more. If the error message remains it would appear
something has gone wrong with the reset procedure. In which case I would recommend
going through these steps again taking great care to follow them exactly. If it
persists please let us know.

1. Enter the maintenance mode.
