Cleaning the print nozzles on your Brother printer can tricky and time consuming. For a quick tutorial, check out Youtube which gives step-by-step instructions that will educate anyone on how to correctly clean the nozzles on their Brother printer. Before beginning the cleaning process, it’s important that your unit is not undertaking any print jobs that might disrupt the task. Next, go to the display menu and select the nozzle cleaning option under the “maintenance” section.

Once you’ve selected the nozzle cleaning feature, turn off the printer, and open the front panel to display the toner cartridges and nozzle system. Beneath where the toner cartridges snap in and out, you’ll find a wiper cleaner cassette that easily pulls out from the machine. Using your nozzle cleaning kit, take one of the clean applicators and wet it with the wash liquid provided. You should only use a few drop of the wash liquid on a single applicator.

Next, you’ll use the now wet applicator to gently wipe the print head nozzles. You should wipe back and forth approximately five times. This process should be repeated with a new, clean applicator for every print nozzle. Once you’re done thoroughly cleaning each nozzle, you can install the wiper cleaner cassette back to its proper place. Once you close the front cover and restart the printer, you’re ready to print and check the nozzle pattern.

If you check the nozzle pattern and see satisfactory results, then your brother printer is ready to begin printing quality documents again. If the printer toner quality of your documents starts looking lackluster again, repeat the process of cleaning the print nozzles for better results. All-in-all, wiping down the print nozzles on a Brother unit shouldn’t be a time-consuming or difficult task as long as users adhere to proper instructions.
