How to clean the Brother MFC Printhead

To maintain good print quality, your machine will automatically clean the printhead as many times as possible. However, you can also do the cleaning manually if you found out there is a problem with the print quality, for example, a horizontal line on the next, blank pages or discolored prints.

You will also be able to clean the black color separately from the three colors (Cyan, Yello, Magenta) or all four colors at once.
