How to easily solve the error code 46 on Brother printer

How to easily solve the error code 46 on Brother printer ~ Someday, you will turn your brother printer on and see the 46 error message appear on screen. This specific error can be a bit more costly than the others if you choose to contact brother’s tech support team, especially since this error tends to show up after we’ve surpassed our pre-established printing sum and voided our warranties.

The printer should be a bit old now, so you won’t be able to get any free repairs on it since it’s already been used for as long as the factory made it to last.

What causes the 46 error message on brother printers:

This particular error code shows up on brother printers whenever the waste ink absorber pad has filled up with ink.

This tutorial will teach you how to restore the counter installed in your brother printer, which can mess the configuration up a bit. Also, this printer and its drivers could appear to be connected to another USB port.

Your printer’s name could change on the control panel, and the “copy 1” message could appear after the old name after this has been done. This, however, is the same printer you were working with before.

First of all, make sure your printer is on and connected to your computer at all times during this procedure. The computer must also be on and fully functional at this point.

Step #2:
Now, press the menu/set, mono/star and menu/set buttons in this particular order. After this has been done, please wait for about five (5) seconds.

Step #3:
The MAINTENANCE 10 option will appear on your screen, and the FAX and COPY buttons will be turn green.

Step #4:
Press the navigation keys upwards and select the MAINTENACE 80 option on the menu. Then, press the mono/star button again, and then hit the menu/set one.

Step #5:
Browse until you’ve reached the purge option. This one will have a number on it, but don’t pay any attention to it.

Step #6:
Once the purge is going on, type in the code 2783. You will hear a short beeping sound and the counter will be set back to zero (0).

Press the stop/exit button to confirm this.
