Definitely DO NOT use compatible toner cartridges. Only buy genuine Brother toners. That being said, Brother toners still spill eventually. I have used Brother printers for years and they always end up spilling, their own brand just last longer than generic toners. To remove the line, you just need to replace the culprit toner (I am assuming black in this case) or if that doesn't solve it, replace the black drum unit. It's always good to use paper towels and clean out any obvious loose toner powder, but in my extensive experience, using the corona wire cleaning only helps a little bit. I print using my brother printers more than 4,000 pages every month so I should know. Definitely DO NOT use compatible toner cartridges. Only buy genuine Brother toners.

Remove the cartridges and clean any toner dust from the unit. Replace the cartridges and slide the green swiper tab across the cartridge and return it to where the arrows meet. Sometimes generic cartridges will leak a LOT of toner. If this is the case use the original Brother toner. Works for me.

Not right in front of my machine at the moment, but I usually just press print again and then cut it, then print again and so on and so forth.. Hope that helps!

When you decide to print, Use the &lt;Control key&gt;, hold it down and press P at the same time. This opens the printer dialog box. Open the printer properties or preferences, click the advanced tab. then place the dot into the greyscale. This allows only "Black Printing".

Ok I get this sometimes when I'm using a certain printing program. Believe me not all programs are alike and will effect the way your printer prints. I have this problem using a couple of photo editing programs. But when I use another program it prints perfect every time. Try using another program such as windows live photo gallery. If you don't have that, try another one. Hope this helps.

f streaking or print quality problems occur, first check that the printheads are positioned correctly in the carrier: 1 Press Menu&gt; until you see the Utilities Menu. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until you see Change Printhead. 4 Press Select. 5 Open the printer cover. The carrier moves to the load position at the center of the printer. 6 Raise the carrier handle up and back down to reseat the printheads. 7 Close the cover. If this does not solve the problem, a printhead may be plugged with dried ink. Doing a Short Clean should fix most print quality problems: 1 Press Menu&gt; until the Utilities Menu appears. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until Clean Printheads appears on the second line of the displayPress Select. Short Clean appears on the second line of the display. 5 Press Select. Once the Short Clean finishes, a test page prints four color bars. If you do not see an improvement, do a Long Clean. Keep in mind, however, that a Long Clean uses a substantial amount of ink and takes some time to run. 1 Press Menu&gt; until the Utilities Menu appears. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until Clean Printheads appears on the second line of the display. 4 Press Select. 5 Press Menu&gt; until Long Clean appears on the second line of the display. 6 Press Select.

As much as I would like to help, I'm afraid there is not much advise I can offer. If you have the device on the rear of your printer that permits printing on two sides of the paper, I suggest removing it and looking for any paper stuck in the device or up in the printer itself. Be sure the reversing device is reinstalled ind latched well.There is not much more that I can suggest.Bob

It's really not good. When I receive it, a little part is broken. From the first time I use it, the print-outs looks stained, two lines of black dot on the left and right side of the paper.

A line down the middle of the screen? You should contact the manufacturer and ask for either a refund or exchange.

I print on the shinier side and I have had no problem. I use Canon ink. Could it be your ink instead of your settings? I hope you can solve your problem. I really like the paper.

I use a displayport cable for the best quality. When reduced to 1920x1080 it still takes up the whole screen and somewhat stretched the image out. I dont think its possible to put black bars on the side

Yes, leave white strip on (aligns transparency). There is a smooth side and a coarse side - print on coarse side.

Red side goes down, black side goes up. There are pegs on the bottom of the spools that fit into the spool carriage. Place one spool on either side first. Guide the ribbon around the outside of the metal guide on the side you start with, thread the ribbon between the printer and the roller, guide the ribbon around the opposite metal guide, and place the remaining spool on the other post. Make sure that the ribbon is in the "grooves on the metal guides and the printer head, then gently wind one of the spools until the slack is removed from the ribbon. The ribbon should automatically advance when you print and should reverse direction when it reaches the end of the spool. Hope that this helps. Red side goes down, black side goes up.

Lift the cover (as though you're going to copy a single page) and check the narrow glass pane (to the left of the page sized glass pane) for dirt. I had the exact same problem and found it was just a tiny speck of something that had settled on the glass. The reason it comes out as a straight line is that the adf pages are scanned by rolling them past a stationary reader.

Most likely air bubble in plastic tube carrying black ink. Follow instructions to clear air from lines.

I had to change the settings on my printer to be more vibrant. I don't think it had anything to do with how old the pkg. was. Try to darken your image before printing and "up" the color tones.

The cutter see things as lines. I convert everything to curves, remove all filled areas and regardless of the color I keep my lines black. I am using Corel Draw and it caused me issues in the beginning, my work around is to save it as a PDF then I import it into the cutter program. Hope this helps, if not call Sign Warehouse Tech. Support they was a big help to me.

I have never had that problem. What printer setting are you using? I believe just the normal print setting is suggested; that's what I use.
