BROTHER LASER MFC PRINTER – ERROR MESSAGES, HOW TO ENTER THE MAINTENANCE MODE, SERVICE MODE FUNCTION DETAILS

Applicable to Laser printer Brother DCP7055, 7055W, 7057, 7057E, 7057W – DCP 7060D, 7065DN, DCP7070DW/HL, 2280DW – MFC7060, 7060N, 7362N, 7365DN, 7460DN – MFC 7470D. 7860DN, 7860DW

Error messages and codes which the incorporated self-diagnostic
function of the machine will display if any error or malfunction occurs. If any error message appears, refer to this chapter to find which parts should be checked or replaced.

How to Enter the Maintenance Mode

Press the Menu button and then the Start button while the machine is in the ready state.
Next, press the [UP] button four times to enter the maintenance mode.Error codes, 

[Operation using Menu, *, 2, 8, 6 and 4 buttons is also available.]

The machine beeps for one second and displays “ || MAINTENANCE ||| ” on the LCD, indicating that it is placed in the initial state of the maintenance mode, a mode in which the machine is ready to accept entry from the buttons.

To select any of the maintenance mode functions shown below to enter the maintenance mode that you want to use using the buttons.

To exit from the maintenance mode and switch to ready state, press the 9 button twice in the initial state of the maintenance mode.

In the case of the model without the numeric keys; Press the [UP/DN] button. The “MAINTENANCE 99” appears on the LCD. Then press the OK button, and the machine returns to the ready state.

When the Stop/Exit button is pressed, the machine beeps for one second and returns to the initial state of the maintenance mode.

To Enter the End User-accessible Maintenance Mode

Basically, the maintenance-mode functions listed in the next page should be accessed by service personnel only. However, you can allow end users to access some of these under the guidance of service personnel by phone, for example.
The end user-accessible functions are shaded in the table given on the next page. (codes 06, 09, 10, 11, 12, 25, 43, 45, 52, 53, 54, 77, 80, 82, 87, 88 and 91)
Function code 10 accesses the worker switches, each of which has eight selectors.
The service personnel should instruct end users to follow the procedure given below.

Press the Menu, Start, Menu and [UP] buttons in this order when the machine is in the ready state. “MAINTENANCE 06” appears on the LCD.

Press the [UP/DN] button to display the desired maintenance code on the LCD. Then press the OK button.

To switch the machine back to the ready state, press the Stop/Exit button. When each of the user-accessible functions is completed, the machine automatically returns to the ready state.

Maintenance mode functions

EEPROM parameter initialization (Function code 01, 91)

This function initializes the setting values of the operation parameters, user switches, and worker switches (WSW) registered in the EEPROM.

Entering function code 01 initializes almost all of the EEPROM areas, but entering 91 does not initialize some areas, as listed below.

Operating Procedure

Press the 0 and 1 buttons (or the 9 and 1 buttons according to your need) in this order in the initial state of the maintenance mode. In the case of the model without the numeric keys; Press the or button. The “MAINTENANCE 01” appears on the LCD (or the
“MAINTENANCE 91” appears on the LCD to your need). Then press the OK button. The “PARAMETER INIT” appears on the LCD.

Upon completion of parameter initialization, the machine returns to the initial state of the maintenance mode.

Note: Function code 01 is for service personnel. Function code 91 is for user support.

Printout of scanning compensation data (Function code 05)

The machine prints out the brightness level data for scanning compensation.

Be sure to execute this operating procedure not immediately after the power is turned ON, but after conducting the document scanning operation at least once in scanning.
Since the machine initializes the brightness level data and obtains the standard value for document scanning compensation when starting scanning the document, the correct data for compensation cannot be printed out even if this operation is implemented without scanning the document.

The print result varies depending on whether implementing color scanning or black and white scanning immediately before this operating procedure. Make sure the brightness level data you want to print and implement the operation below.

For white and black scanning, copy the document. For color scanning, implement color scanning of the document.

Press the 0 and 5 buttons in this order in the initial state of the maintenance mode. In the case of the model without the numeric keys; Press the [UP/DN] button. The “MAINTENANCE 05” appears on the LCD. Then press the OK button. The “PRINTING”
will appear on the LCD, and the equipment prints out the scanning compensation data list  containing the following:

Black and white/color scanning

[In the case of the black and white scanning, the output data (B) and (R) are invalid.]

LED CURRENT DATA 1 Byte
b) LED pulse data 1(UP) (G) 2 Bytes
c) LED pulse data 1(DOWN) (G) 2 Bytes
d) LED pulse data 1(UP) (B) 2 Bytes
e) LED pulse data 1(DOWN) (B) 2 Bytes
f) LED pulse data 1(UP) (R) 2 Bytes
g) LED pulse data 1(DOWN) (R) 2 Bytes
h) REFH data 1 Bytes
i) Background color compensated data 1 Byte
j) Black level data by previous scanning pixel count
k) White level data (G) by previous scanning pixel count
l) White level data (B) by previous scanning pixel count
m) White level data (R) by previous scanning pixel count.

Placement of scanner unit in position for transportation (Function code 06)

This function is to move the scanner unit in position for transportation located at the left end.
When you fix the machine and check its operation, you need to perform this function last before packing and shipping.

[to perform this function if possible before packing and shipping their FAX machine to a sales agent or a service dealer for the purpose of repair.]

Press the 0 and 6 buttons in this order in the initial state of the maintenance mode. In the case of the model without the numeric keys; Press the [UP/DN] button. The “MAINTENANCE 06” appears on the LCD. Then press the OK button. The scanner unit
moves to the designated position for transportation located at the left end. The “MAINTENANCE 06” is displayed until the scanner unit is placed in position. When the document scanner unit is placed in the position, the “SCAN LOCKED” appears on the LCD.

When the Stop/Exit button is pressed, the machine beeps for one second and returns to the initial state of the maintenance mode.

When the document scanner unit fails to move to the transport position or when the maintenance mode: code 06 is executed while a reading error occurs, “SCAN LOCK ERROR” appears.

After moving the scanner unit to the transport position, you cannot perform the scanning operation such as copy.

ADF performance test (Function code 08)
