Frequently asked questions

This error points to a communication issue with the main motor. A deep power reset often clears a mechanical jam.

It is quite significant. If a reset fails, a component could be physically blocking the motor rotation.

Not immediately, but using original Brother consumables prevents strain on the drum mechanism.

Use standard 80g/m2 paper and make sure the paper tray guides are snug against the paper stack.
