HOW TO FIX BROTHER PRINTER ERROR A6

Here is a common hardware problem faced by people who use Brother Printer Error A6. You might have received that very common ‘Error A6’ many times while printing that important word document for a meeting. To recall, it’s the error message that you see on the LCD screen of your inkjet printer that reads: “Unable To Clean: Brother Machine Error A6”.

Troubleshooting Steps Explaining How to Fix Brother Printer Error A6 #

Error A6 usually occurs when the ink absorber pad of the printer is full and needs to be replaced. The Ink Absorber pad is a sponge pad inside the printer that soaks up excess ink that accumulates during the printing process. You can find the ink absorber pad at the bottom of the printer.

Wondering if the ink absorber of your printer is really full and needs to be replaced? All you need to do is print a test sheet and look out for excess ink on your print out. If your printed sheets are full of ink discharges, then it’s time to replace the absorber. Go ahead and contact Brother Printer for tech support in this regard.

However, if the printouts that you have taken appear to be fine with pointed text, then the ink absorber is not full. And your printer may be facing a software issue. Sometimes, the printer software gives the Error A6 before the ink sponge is full because it fails to calculate the saturation of the ink sponge. The saturation level of the sponge in the printer is calculated by the purge counter that keeps track of the number of cleans and cycles of print that the Brother printer has performed.
