brother printer lcd display not working pricelist

Verify the power cord is connected to the back of the machine and the AC power outlet. If the power cord is connected to a surge protector or power switch, remove the cord from the device and connect it directly to the outlet. This is for testing purposes. Removing the device assists in determining if the issue is related to the device or the Brother machine.

Verify the machine is powered ON. The Brother machine has an ON/OFF button located on control panel of the machine. If machine is OFF, the display will be blank.

If the display is still blank, try to tilt or move up or down the LCD display and also try a different known working electrical outlet at your location.

4. When the screen is blank but power LED light is on, this is a sign the firmware has been corrupted. This can happen if power or network connection is interrupted before the end of the firmware update. The firmware can be recovered provided the printer is connected to a computer via printer USB cable and the computer shows the printer is connected.

3. If your machine"s display is blank, partially blank or is missing parts of words, go to step 4. If the information on your machine"s display is too light and difficult to read, go to step 5.

5. If you are having difficulty reading the information on your machine"s display or it"s too light, try changing the contrast setting. Adjusting the contrast will give the display a sharper and more vivid appearance.

Your machine has a one-year limited exchange warranty. You may use the link below to find a Brother-authorized service center in your area. You may also contact Customer Support for additional warranty options.

Work isn"t somewhere you go, it"s something you do. Whether working from home or in a busy office, Brother Desktop Scanners can help you streamline the process of digitizing, organizing, and sharing documents – saving you significant time and enabling immediate access to all your important documents.

My LCD screen is shown blank without any single word display on the screen, it still can print if the printer network can be set to proper wifi id. But, in this case the LCD screen is blank and showing nothing, so i can not set to any wifi id at all.

Brother MFC-L2710DW and MFC-L2713DW black and white laser printers are designed with the toner and imaging drum as separate parts. Sometimes new toners will not reset the printer counter and this causes an error which appears on the LCD screen on the printer. After a new TN2450toner is inserted in the Brother printer, the counter should automatically reset itself. If not do not despair.

With a document print speed of up to 17/16.5 ipm*, Brother printers speed up your workflows so you can do more in less time. From printing professional reports to outstanding brochures, you can confidently create powerful business materials that will make the best impression.

**Quoted approx. yields are extrapolated based on Brother original methodology using Test Pattern ISO/IEC 24712. Quoted approx. yields are not based on ISO/IEC 24711.

Brother’s Refill Ink Tank printers features a transparent cover that allows for easy front access to the embedded ink tank. The user-friendly design is engineered to minimise the risk of mess and leakage.

With flexible connectivity options, our printers are designed to suit all work environments. Built-in Wi-Fi allows your entire workgroup to effortlessly share one device. Plus, Brother printers are equipped with direct mobile print for the convenience of printing wirelessly from your mobile devices.

Brother Ink Tank Printers are plug and play. You can use them straight out of the box without any driver installation. The simple user interface also makes the printers a breeze to use.

Sharing a likeness more akin to the Incredible Hulk, the world"s first A3 multifunction printer weighs in at a back-breaking 15.6 kilograms and measures 32.3x54.0x48.8cm. This is no ordinary household printer — its girth puts it strictly in the domain of small businesses and medium-sized offices. We almost had trouble finding a desk big enough to support the hulk considering that it dwarfed pretty much everything we put around it.

Setting aside our initial reservations about its appearance, the MFC-6490CW houses a full numeric keypad, as well as a host of other buttons and options on the front panel alongside the 3.3-inch colour LCD screen. The backlit fax, scan, copy and photo capture buttons add a nice touch, while all the consumables are accessible from the front of the printer.

At the top sits a 50-page document feeder, a flatbed scanner, a 3.3-inch colour LCD screen and the standard SD/CF/MS/xD/PictBridge connections. Wireless, Ethernet and fax connectivity are provided, plus 64MB of memory, and a maximum resolution of 6000x1200dpi round out the package.

Inside, the colour cartridges are a CMY-BK configuration (that is, three colours and one black tank). The Innobella colour cartridges that Brother supplies are high yield, and each colour tank claims to be able to print 750 sheets of A4 paper.

In an act we can only put down to temporary insanity on the part of Brother"s designers, the USB and Ethernet connections are located underneath the flatbed scanner, meaning the cords stick out rather precariously from a hole in the side of the printer.

We sent a 12-megapixel source image straight to the printer, to see how the MFC-6490CW coped with a borderless colour print. The printer interface did warn us that the process might be a lengthy one; what we didn"t realise was that we had time to invade a small island and make a cup of celebratory tea before the print finally emerged. All up it took the unit 16 minutes to deliver a colour, borderless, A3 result.

Plain black and white pages fared a little better in the speed test, though they still were not as quick as we"d hoped. Our five-page test document took one minute 16 seconds to complete all up, with the first page emerging after 27 seconds. On average, we managed a print speed of 15 seconds per page on normal quality — respectable, but not really commendable given the size of this machine.

In terms of print quality, apart from a few minor markings on our colour A3 print on matte inkjet paper, we were reasonably impressed. However, this is definitely not up to photo store standards. Colour prints on dedicated photo paper proved this further, as they lacked punch and sharpness, with details being washed over. We also found that the leading edge of the page was consistently smudged across different page sizes and media types. Plain A4 colour printing also disappointed us. Patches of black ran across block colours, the blacks themselves were not at all deep, and hues that appeared rich on screen failed to jump off the page at all. We would suggest steering clear of plain paper colour prints and instead head straight for the special papers.

Black and white text was relatively crisp, but not perfect; this isn"t up to scratch with laser quality on normal settings. Our scan test turned the tables back in the MFC-6490CW"s favour; 25 seconds for a 10x15cm scan, though the colours were not as punchy as the original source, and there was a fair amount of grain over the image. We also didn"t like how the printer didn"t automatically detect the size of the scan source.

Brother offers a two-year return-to-base warranty. At the time of writing, the retail price for each high yield colour cartridge was around AU$31.95 online, while the black and white cartridge retailed for AU$53.95. Given Brother"s claims of each cartridge being able to deliver 750 pages, this works out at 4 cents per page, per cartridge.

We have to commend Brother for breaking new ground with the world"s first A3 inkjet multifunction. It"s not at all perfect given its only average print quality on certain types of media, and it is incredibly cumbersome, but for those in the market for a large format printer for under AU$500, it may just meet your requirements.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and stop expecting printers to “just work” because that would make sense in a world where a touchscreen supercomputer fits in your shirt pocket. Like most things in life that you have no control over, you’ll be happier if you accept printers for the janky money pits that they really are.

Most of you are going to hate something about any printer that you buy, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Instead of fighting it, try to reframe the issue in your mind: You’re not buying a printer because you’re supposed to have one at home. You’re buying a printer because it’s (just barely) less inconvenient than going to a copy center.Make peace with the error message. (Scene from Office Space.)

Unfortunately, we can’t solve all of these problems. But our years of experience covering these apparent boxes of junk give us a better understanding of why they exist. Here are some other general truths that you may have never considered (or willingly ignore when you feel like throwing a tantrum about your printer). Assume that these apply to all printers from all manufacturers unless we say otherwise:Your printer is worth a lot more than you’re paying for it. Seriously, there is some amazingly complicated technology in your printer, including the printheads, the ink, and the mapping software. You take your printer for granted, but that box can cover a piece of paper in millions of dots of precisely located, color-matched ink in a few seconds. You’re probably buying the printer for the cost of parts and distribution, which means the manufacturer is effectively subsidizing the thing on the premise that they’ll recoup their research and development costs (and the rest of their overhead) from your ink purchases.

You should not expect a good experience if you use knockoff ink cartridges. See above. Part of R&D is designing ink to have the right physical properties to work with the printheads. Knockoff ink might not have those properties, and, as a result, may not work very well. Also, as we learned recently, most inkjet printers designed for home use actually have the printhead built into the cartridge itself. There is no permanent printhead in most cheap printers. So you might be buying crap ink and a crap printhead. And if you try to refill a genuine cartridge with knockoff ink, you’re probably putting subpar ink into a container with a burnt-out printhead.

Also, back to the subsidy thing. We’ve read that some manufacturers purposely design their printers to basically shut down if you try to use third-party cartridges. You may not like it, but from their perspective, they’re protecting their investment in their "ink futures," which subsidizes their dirt-cheap hardware.

Knockoff toner cartridges, on the other hand, are okay! Toner is just an electrostatically charged powder (part polymer, part carbon), and the cartridge itself is just a simple plastic container. There are no fancy printheads or circuitry. Manufacturers don’t fight as hard to protect toner cartridges because there’s not a lot of intellectual property in these things. However, they tend to charge a higher markup on the printers themselves to make up for the cheaper toner costs.

If an ink cartridge is missing, you shouldn’t expect your printer to print, and it may not even scan. Some models will still do either or both, many will not. Yeah, it feels like a shakedown when they employ this stand-and-deliver style of ink management, but it’s not uncommon across the industry.

If your home network is more complex than just a modem, a router, and your PC, there’s a reasonable chance that you’ll run into network connectivity problems. There’s not a good reason for this, but the state of networking in the printer industry is abysmal. A printer that works well in one network might need five hours of troubleshooting in another. Unfortunately, this means we can’t say for certain that any given printer will definitely work well on your home network.

At some point you’ll need to manually download new drivers for your printer when you update your operating system. Yeah, this should happen automatically, but it usually doesn’t. Some companies are better than others at issuing new drivers in a timely manner. In our experience, Brother is very diligent and Canon is the most likely to leave behind printers that are more than a couple of years old.

Basically, printers are a dismal product category. But doesn’t it feel better to know why? With that in mind, we realize you still need to use them now and then, and thus we still spend dozens of hours researching and testing in order to make a few recommendations for printers that rise above the (admittedly low) bar:

If you just need something to put words on paper, then simpler is better. You want a cheap laser printer. This thing will cost less than $100 to buy and less than 2¢ per page to operate and can take care of any black-and-white printing you need. Because it’s a laser printer, it uses toner instead of ink, which has two benefits: The toner cartridge will never dry out and become ineffective no matter how infrequently you print, and you can safely use cheaper, third-party toner if you want to save money. However, because it prints in black-and-white only, you’ll still have to make a trip to the copy center for color prints. And the LCD screens on these printers tend to be small and hard to navigate. But for most people that’s still preferable to being unable to print your black-and-white tax returns because your cyan cartridge dried up.

If you need more out of your printer, look into getting an all-in-one inkjet printer. These are best suited for home offices that occasionally use color printing, scanning, copying, or faxing, but don’t require any particular one of these tasks on a daily basis (CPAs need not apply). Like the cheap laser printer, an all-in-one inkjet printer is also affordable up front (less than $200) and cheap to operate (expect 2¢ to 4¢ per page for black-and-white, 7¢ to 10¢ per page for color). However, unlike a laser printer, you have to use the ink regularly or lose it, though these printers automatically perform periodic purges to keep their nozzles clean and ready to print.

Those two printer types should cover most home users, but if what we currently recommend does not seem like it’s going to fit your needs, we suggest that you check out the libraries of individual printer reviews at Computer Shopper and Consumer Reports (subscription required for the latter). These are the most thorough professional sources of information about this category. But you must also read the user reviews of any printer that you think you want to buy. Some printers may test well in controlled settings when used by experienced testers, but fail the take-home test. User reviews considered in the aggregate will alert you to trends in long-term reliability, and individual reviews can reveal a lot of little details that the pro reviews sometimes overlook: poorly written owner’s manuals, whether it jams on card stock, the fax machine doesn’t work, etc.
