Error and Maintenance Messages 7
As with any sophisticated office product, errors may occur and consumable items may need to be replaced.
If this happens, your machine identifies the problem and shows an error message. The most common error
and maintenance messages are shown below (the messages will be displayed on Status Monitor or the LCD
of the machine (ADS-1600W only)).
You can correct most errors and clear routine maintenance messages by yourself. If you need more help, the
Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips.
