There are a lot of Brother printer errors out there.
Way too many, right?

Quick fix

Error 30 is one of the most common Brother printer error messages. The error code 30 and the error message “Unable to Print” indicate that the printer is not able to print due to a mechanical malfunction. Another possible reason for this error to occur is an object getting stuck in the machine, for example a paper clip or a piece of paper.

If your Brother printer is not printing and the message “Unable to Print 30” appears, fix the problem with the following steps for troubleshooting: Use both hands to lift the scanner cover into open position and make sure that you see the scanner cover support arm on the left hand side of the machine.

Now check both the right and the left corner and remove any objects, such as paper scraps or paper clips, that are jammed in the machine. Afterwards, turn the printer around and open the jam clear cover on the back to check for foreign objects or to remove jammed paper. Once all objects have been removed, close the covers and resume the printing job.

Quick fix

Brother error 50 indicates a malfunction of the fuser unit. This could be caused by the fuser unit getting too hot during printing, or not heating up enough in order to print. As a result, the printer is unable to print.

To fix the issue, turn the printer off and wait for five to ten minutes. Then turn the printer on again and wait for another ten minutes. If error 50 persists, you may need to replace the fuser unit of your Brother printer.

Quick fix

Error 48 is one of many “Unable to Print” error codes generated by Brother printers. The error message means that the print head cable or circuit board is either broken or damaged. This may be caused by foreign objects, such as ripped pieces of paper, or paper clips getting stuck in the printer and thus destructing the printer head.

To fix Brother printer error 48, turn the printer off and lift the scanner cover. Then look for any objects stuck in the machine. If you see any objects that do not belong, make sure to remove them carefully. If this does not help you get rid of the error message, you may need to clean off the encoder strip of your brother printer.

The encoder strip is a transparent plastic strip in front of the vinyl band within the machine. Using a dry cloth, clean the strip carefully. Then turn on the printer and pass a print command to check if the problem was solved.

The Drum Error is another common error experienced by users of Brother printers. Both the error message “Drum Error” and “Clean Drum Unit” mean that the drum unit of your machine is dirty. The dirt may be caused by dust or by loose toner.

After removing the toner from your Brother printer, slide the blue tab at the front of the unit from side by side, then return it to its standard position and put the drum unit back into the machine. If cleaning the drum unit does not solve the problem, and the printer continues to show a drum error, replace the drum unit with a new one.

When the main motor of the Brother printer is not functioning properly, error code 54 is shown in the display of the device. The main motor is responsible for driving the main gear train and therefore an important part of the printing process.

If you are facing Brother printer error code 54, switch your printer off and back on again. In many cases, a restart of the printer already fixes the problem. Another possible solution is to remove the toner before turning the printer back on.

If the motor is working without the toner installed, the problem may in fact be caused by the toner. In this case, simply replace the toner. If the main motor is still not working, replace the motor with a new one.
