Brother Printer: HL-L3210CW Can't enter any pin-code i'm not prompted for the pin-code

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 07:26:04 -0700

Brother HL-L3210 CW

This all started with the router having a hardware failure, so I now have a new router. And now I have to setup the printer with new WLAN setting for a new router, however I've got the printer locked with a pin-code.

So I try to press any button on the printers control panel and it doesn't prompt me for the pin-code, it just has the message "Function Locked".

So I need to enter the pin-code but I can't enter any pin-code, because everything is locked.

I have the pin-code because I wrote it down, but just because I have the pin-code written down doesn't mean I can enter it into the control panel, because I can't.

So how do I enter the pin-code?

Have removed tray and everything and flap that opens to fix a jam and there is nothing, tried resetting back to Manufacturer's setting, but it does not do anything.

Brother Printer: HL-2280DW Printer spring laying inside...where does it go?

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 12:29:08 -0700

I am replacing the feeder cam and there is this spring circled in blue just laying here. It doesn't go in this vicinity. Where does this part go? Can anyone help me out? Looks like there is only one spring like this in the service manual called a "FG Spring Regist". There are no more I can see, maybe this is an extra left over from production?

Brother Printer: Duplex print on my mfc-t920dw

Tue, 10 Sep 2024 00:53:43 -0700

Hello,

I recently started having problems with duplex print on my Brother mfc-t920dw.

One-side print works without a single problem but every time I want to do duplex print the paper jams after the printer wants to "suck" the paper back to print the other side of it.

Any idea what could it be?

Thank you.

Brother Printer: MFC-J870DW printer not printing black ink

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 23:36:57 -0700

I got a brand new MFC-J870DW Brother printer from my father-in-law. The color ink prints great but no matter what I do the black ink will not print at all despite everything being brand new out of the box. I have tried cleaning it with the machine and by hand. Any advice? I hate to have to give up on a brand new printer.

MFC-J4410DW: Wann Resttinte in Absorberbox und wann in Spüöbox

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 12:44:47 -0700

Hallo zusammen.

Wann leitet der Drucker Tinte in die Absorberbox und wann die Spülbox? Ich glaube, Brother ist der einzige Hersteller, der zwei Boxen für abgeleitete Resttinte hat.
When does the printer drain ink to the absorberbox and when to the flushing box? I Think Brother is the only manufacturer that has two boxes for waste ink.
