Print Error 51
Contents |
on 25/03/201413/06/2014 by Easyink Support The following article covers a fault found with the Brother MFC665CW that causes an Unable to Print 51 error. After some quick Google research I discovered that no one seemed to have an idea of what causes this fault and a

number of forums claiming that a purge counter reset would fix it. Seeing that the purge counter causes unable to print 51 brother mfc 440cn an Error 47 (from memory) that seemed unlikely. An Error 51 is a problem with the cleaning unit and can be caused by paper unable to clean 51 brother mfc 440cn or foreign objects getting stuck in the path of the carriage or the cleaning unit itself. So some good old fashioned tech work was required. First off with all the covers, then I reconnected the scanner and keyboard in a way

that allowed me to observe the printer and all moving parts during start-up. It was quickly apparent that the cleaning unit (right hand side) wasn't getting drive. From there is was easy to trace the gears back to the cause of the problem. As the picture shows, the gear that transfers the drive to the cleaning unit had split and was spinning on the shaft instead of providing drive. My easy fix was to use some high end hard plastics glue that also sticks

to steel and glue the gear to the shaft. After the glue had dried for 30 mins - no more error 51. I expect it would be possible to diagnose and perform this fix with out removing any covers. JUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO GLUE THE GEAR TO ANY BUSHINGS OR OTHER GEARS. This is likely to be similar to other Brother printer models that take the LC57 ink cartridge (DCP130C, DCP330C, DCP350C, DCP540CN, DCP560CN, MFC240C, MFC440C, MFC465CN, MFC5860CN, MFC685CW, MFC885CW).

Replace any bad ink cartridges with new ones. When you plug the machine back in insert ink when machine requests ink. If this does not fix the machine the printer head is bad and needs to be replaced which costs more than the machine is worth. by Lilpinkslip on Dec 28, 2015 at 6:45pm Add comment Please sign in to comment Please sign in to comment Brother MFC 240C Buy discount ink Buy this printer More Brother questions © Copyright 2011-2016, FixYourOwnPrinter.com, Inc.

This would reset the purge counter;display should now be “purge:0000”;press the Stop/Exit button.press 9, 9 to exit the maintenance mode.In some versions, "purge" is worded as "flush". A worst case scenario is a faulty traverse motor / mechanism fault. This is responsible for moving the printheads along with its carriage left to right. A fault would not park the carriage properly and therefore self-clean could not be initiated.40849.0781113426 Ask Your Own Printers Question Customer: replied4 years ago.

Hello, my name is Wendell and I want to do everything possible to resolve your problems! I have to agree with Jaime in that the reset procedure she provided was indeed the correct initial action to reset the purge counter. If you followed those steps and are still experiencing the "unable to print 51" error, then either the purge cam sensor (actually a switch) or the gears on the maintenance unit have broken. Either way, you will need to replace the purge/maintenance unit and it is rather technically involved. My suggest
