How to fix poor quality prints - Brother Printer

Nozzle Check

Before cleaning the printer, please print a test page to check if the issue stems from a clogged print head.

 

1. If the pattern prints correctly, then the printer is functioning as expected. The root of the problem might lie in the computer, cable, software, or specific printer settings.

2. If the nozzle check pattern either doesn't print or displays with gaps or missing sections, the print head might require cleaning. Alternatively, the cartridge may need replacement.
