Our all in one printer, Brother MFC-240C had a problem and for some reason it stop working. Every time I turn on
the printer it shows on the LCD ³Clean Unable 46Ǝ error message. What the LCD suggests is to read the User¶s
Guide for further troubleshooting. That didn¶t help me at all because it stated in the guide, probable causes are 1.
The machine has a mechanical problem and/or 2. A foreign objects such as paper clip or ripped paper is in the
machine. Their solution is to ³Open the scanner cover and remove any foreign objects inside the machine. If the
error message continues, disconnect the machine from the power for several minutes and then reconnect it.´ I
followed the instructions and did a total clean over. I used q-tips, glass cleaner, cloth to remove the dust that could
be interfering for the printer to work, apparently to no avail it still ain¶t working.

I googled it and finally I found the answer to my problem. All you need to do is to reset the purge counter. These
steps worked in MFC620CN/420CN/410CN/210C/240C and FAX2440C model.

à




1) Enter machine maintenance mode (on MFC240C all four photo/copy/fax/scan lights flash in maintenance mode).
Care is needed in maintenance mode, otherwise critical settings may be inadvertently corrupted.

FAX models with numerical keypads: Press the Menu/Set, *, 2, 8, 6 and 4 keys within two seconds. (if you fail to
complete the correct key sequence within two seconds, press the Stop key to try again).

Other (non-FAX) models: Press the Menu/Set and Black Start keys. Next press the ³up arrow´ key four times to
enter the maintenance mode).

2) Press the 8 then 0 keys in the initial stage of the maintenance mode to call up the machine¶s log information list
(function code 80).

3) Press the Black Start key several times to scroll through the log information list to reach the purge counter. The
purge counter is the 25th item in the list.

4) Press the 2, 7, 8, and 3 keys in this order to reset the purge count to zero.

5) Press the Stop/Exit key to return to the initial stage of the maintenance mode.

6) Press the 9 key twice to return to the standby state.
