Brother DCP-195C: Magenta Color Not Printing, Cleaning Results & Unresolved Discussions

The printer has not printed the magenta color for two weeks. After cleaning, two grids appear on the test. The subject was discussed but the author did not reply.

You do not write anything that carcases are installed in the printer (originals or replacements). The printer was always connected to electricity and was in the "standby" option. Is there ink in the containers ?????

Is the cartridge removed from the cartridge? Sometimes the vent hole is not revealed after the removal.

Stan-S11 I have installed replacements. The printer is connected to the power all the time. There is ink in the containers.

endiuf I removed the security from katrij.

You are very economical in describing the situation -
1. what carcases were before,
2. Did the color lock take place before the carcass was changed,
Describe exactly the whole situation from the beginning to the end if you want to get a fairly accurate diagnosis. We can not guess what you've done with the printer before.

1. Previously, substitutes were used.
2. I exchanged the color for a new one but it did not help.

I used to clean the pampers before.
I am not a specialist in these blocks, so it's difficult to describe my use professionally. I cleaned the colors and black once a week.

You must realize that what some suppliers of substitutes to maximize profits pour the cheapest ink into containers or what resembles ink (greed for money knows no borders). On the other hand, the Brothers' heads are not tolerant to the poor quality of the ink. A situation like nap can happen. we put the wrong solvent in the paint - it makes a nice jelly. And this is the situation that can occur in the printer head where the old ink is mixed with the new one, which will clog the nozzles for one color or a few.
Instead of buying substitutes, I recommend filling in your own good quality with bottle ink. Repair (exchange of ambulances) on the site is economically unjustified.
I am a supporter of inkjet printers where the ink is exchanged along with the print head.
And one more thing - if you are only a user and you have no idea and experience related to printer service, then you can only damage it more.

1, Tear off the ink protection
2. Perform cleaning and leave the printer turned on and do not do anything for 1h
3. Check that the ink film is well penetrated and does not clog the hole from the flow of ink
4. Perform PWR cleaning from the service menu
5. Final cleaning head

Liogran How is PWR made and head cleaning done?

Hold MENU and turn the printer on
Arrows enter the number 7 - approx 6-year 6-ok and click the copy in black the printer will pump inks. When the process is finished, unplug the cable and turn on the printer again

liogran The function does not work. The printer has turned on normally.

1. For DCP devices - key sequence - OK -> MENU -> MONO -> 4x up arrow
2. For MFC devices (with block number) - * 2864

We enter the service codes by arrows up / down (DCP) or from the keyboard (MFC)

The most important codes for cleaning / maintenance of the head:

09 - nozzle test print - the same as from the normal menu level
75 - unlocking the head carriage - useful for disassembly or manual cleaning
76 = Maintenance head - we can clean all colors or selected
77 = printout of the system's system log
99 = Exit from maintenance mode (reset and start in normal mode)

Additional function switches 76:
0 - head replacement purge - used after replacing the head with a new one, it uses a lot of ink
1 - Normal purge - normal cleaning mode
2 - periodical reset purge - corresponds to periodic (automatic) cleaning and deaeration
3 - power purge - additional cleaning if basic cleaning did not help
4 - Initial Purge - corresponds to initial cleaning during the first start-up of the device
5 - User reset purge - probably corresponds to cleaning from the printer menu
6 - engine setup purge - probably the same as 4, but necessary if the head has not been filled with ink to the end

NOTE - functions 4 and 6 consume a lot of ink.


OR - Keep the MENU button and turn on the device until the service menu appears !!

The sequence also does not work and the option to turn on and MENU.

Is there another solution to the problem?

As soon as the printer switches on, press MENU - BLACK COPY - MENU - BLACK COPY as fast as possible. Then, the up arrow will be 76, then ok. If you want to clear all the colors, press the BLACK COPY.

Cleaning from the service menu has helped. Thank you for your help
