Brother Error Codes and its Solutions

Kode Error pada Printer Brother dan Solusinya
Tentu Anda sebagai pengguna printer tidak pernah luput dari Pesan atau Kode Error pada layar display printer Anda ataupun layar komputer Anda. Entah itu kertas nyangkut, tinta habis, ataupun masalah yang lebih berat lainnya seperti print head rusak, cartridge tidak terbaca, dan lain-lain. Nah, untuk printer Brother, kami akan membagikan arti dari kode-kode error tersebut melalui artikel ini, dan semoga dapat bermanfaat dalam menanggapi masalah pada saat penggunaan printer Brother Anda. Biasanya kode-kode error tersebut di mulai dengan kata-kata seperti: unable to print XX, unable to init XX.

Tabel di atas menandakan segala kode error dan penjelasan arti dari error masing-masing. Akan kita bahas satu per satu di bawah:

Kode: 30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,3C,3F

Masalah: Paper Jam alias kertas sangkut. Bisa saja Anda sudah mengeluarkan kertas yang sangkut dan tetap menemukan kode ini, artinya masih ada sisa sobekan kertas yang tertinggal di dalam, entah itu di roller, di bawah head, ataupun di bagian belakang printer. Buka scanner cover, buka back cover, gunakan senter untuk melihat lebih teliti di sekelilingnya. Jika ada kertas sangkut, silahkan di cabut dengan hati-hati dan pelan tanpa merusak part di dalamnya. 

Kode: 40,42,43,44

Masalah: Temperatur di dalam printer terlalu tinggi, alias PANAS. Bisa saja terjadi jika Anda baru saja membawanya dari luar atau berjemur di dalam mobil Anda di siang hari, dan langsung Anda bawa ke kantor untuk print. Solusinya di buka saja cover-covernya, biarkan dingin beberapa saat, matikan dan coba kembali

Kode: 46

Masalah: Tangki pembuangan tinta sudah penuh dan perlu penggantian gabus penahan tinta. Masalah ini bisa di atasi dengan reset (untuk reset, silahkan bawa unit ke Maestro Komputer, hanya sebentar pengerjaannya). Dan untuk lebih awet, absorber pad di dalamnya harus di ganti biar tidak banjir suatu hari nanti dan merusak printer.

Kode: 48, 4F

Masalah: Ada masalah pada print head Anda. Antara Print head rusak, konslet, sangkut alias tidak bisa bergerak. Ketika menemui masalah ini, cukup berat, disarankan untuk bawa ke tempat servis atau toko komputer terdekat untuk di test lebih lanjut. Cara pengecekan ringkasnya yang dapat Anda lakukan di rumah; coba di buka covernya, cek di sekitar print head apakah ada yang menganggu pergerakan print head, atau apa yang terjadi sebelum error ini keluar? Dari sana bisa lebih di identifikasi kemungkinan punca masalahnya dan apa yang sebenarnya terjadi. Kemungkinan punca masalah bisa saja ketika paper jam, Anda langsung menarik kertas secara paksa yang secara tidak sengaja menggores print head, atau ada anak mata kelip yang jatuh ke dalam printer atau benda asing lainnya yang merusak print head.

Kode: 49

Masalah: Temperatur di dalam printer terlalu rendah alias dingin. Hal ini jarang terjadi karena kita tinggal di negara tropis. Kecuali Anda memasukkan printer ke dalam freezer. :p

Kode: 50,51,52,57,5A,5B,5C,5D,5E

Masalah: Sama halnya dengan masalah pertama di atas: Paper Jam alias kertas sangkut. Dan jika Anda menemukan kode seperti ini, ada kemungkinan tambahan masalah di sensor. Sensor rusak ataupun kotor yang menyebabkan printer tidak dapat bekerja secara normal. Masalah yang cukup rumit. Untuk menghindari adanya masalah ini, tetap jaga printer Anda agar tetap bersih dari debu. Tutup dengan kain bersih ketika tidak digunakan.

Kode: 8F

Masalah: Terjadi kerusakan atau gangguan pada motor penarik kertas. Hal ini jarang terjadi, tapi bisa saja terjadi setelah penggunaan yang cukup banyak, khususnya dalam frekuensi yang tinggi. Satu lagi masalah yang cukup rumit, dan hanya bisa diselesaikan oleh tenaga ahli. Tetapi satu hints: lebih ke kebersihan secara umum. Jika printer bersih, maka printer akan jauh dari error. Kertas bisa menginggalkan sisa-sisa serbuk pada saat di tarik. Dari sana jika sudah cukup banyak, otomatis mengganggu kinerja penarik kertas.

Kode: A5,A6,A7,A8,AF

Masalah: Masalah pada scanner unit. Hal ini sangat jarang terjadi. Bisa saja terjadi jika scanner rusak, konslet, kabel putus, lampu scanner rusak ataupun lainnya. Jika sudah terjadi, lebih sering solusinya di penggantian Scanner Unit.

Kode: E2,E3

Masalah: Terjadi masalah pada Motherboard induk. Bisa terjadi jika ada komponen yang konslet, dan masalah lainnya seputar PCB. Dan pernah kita temui kasus ada cicak bertelur di dekat PCB printer Brother. Jadi, hati-hati lah dalam menyimpan printer Anda. Usahakan untuk menaruh di atas meja, dengan ditutupi kain bersih yang cukup besar. Dan jaga dari debu. Biasanya karena kotor, serangga, hewan-hewan kecil suka masuk ke dalam dan berpotensi merusak. Andaikan saja telur tersebut pecah dan air nya mengenai motherboard, maka akan terjadi Short alias konsleting. Ini salah satu hal yang bisa saja terjadi. Jika sudah terjadi kerusakan pada Motherboard, solusi nya adalah penggantian Motherboard.

January Observations From the QR Code sandbox — and will QR Codes help printing

by Jim Lyons

The Hard Copy Observer, January 2010

Observations: From the QR Code sandbox — and will QR Codes help printing?

In trying to find a binding theme for this month’s column about sticking my toe into the water surrounding QR Codes, the underlying influence of the movie sensation Avatar triggered the application of one of my central themes: how things all seem to connect to each other and to my world.

But as a tangible piece of writing, this column began with a tweet that linked to a blog that discussed a report, which I then retweeted. The subject? “More Reporters Using Facebook and Twitter.” This is not surprising as the more I read and write, the more I read and write on social media platforms. As an aside, the report also includes the finding that 61 percent of reporters also admitted to using Wikipedia. (And when it comes to these news sources, it should be noted, blogger Michael Sachoff writes, “The survey made it clear reporters and editors are highly aware of the need to verify information they get from social media.”)

So, I started thinking about how I was gathering information (and initially inspiration) for this month’s column. While I’ve been in the printer industry seemingly forever, I’ve frankly never paid a great deal of attention to barcodes, which have actually been around longer than I have. (The original ideas for barcodes date back to the late 1940’s, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode.) But it has specifically been the QR Code (see photo and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code) that has found its way onto my radar lately, and for that, I must credit Twitter. The last few months have seen a critical mass of tweets from those whom I follow and those I’ve also flagged on printer-related lists via Tweetdeck and more recently Twitter itself. In particular, @Gail_NK, @johnfoleyjr, and @ToughLoveforX have helped me embark on a basic QR Code education. (Readers, here’s a quick homework assignment: before you start messing around with the QR Codes themselves—follow these three on Twitter.)

QR (for Quick Response) Codes were developed in Japan, and I will forgo a description of how they work, beyond comparing them to the basic barcode functionality that were all familiar with, similar to those used at the supermarket (see image at left). The ubiquity that’s evident in that situation—printed barcodes on virtually every single item that is manufactured (and more and more, grown)—would be exactly the vision that would excite the printers that produce those codes, especially industrial models. Taking that theme even more broadly, with QR Codes, the key to even further ubiquity is that the “scanner” is now something virtually every person carries around with them in the form of a camera-equipped mobile phone (with the appropriate app installed), and the codes can be used to identify further information, phone numbers, and URLs, and even “take you there” via the phone’s Web browser. To borrow from the banner text at the Web site qrconnect.com, QR Codes can “Increase the Impact of Print. Use QR Codes on anything printed—there is no limit. Mobile users simply point and click to jump to online content, dial the phone, or download information.”

A great New York Times article by Stephanie Clifford titled, “From Print to Phone to Web. And a Sale?” appeared in early January 2010 and describes the application of QR Codes, along with some related technologies, in what might be their most promising manifestation. As included inside of print publications, specifically magazines, QR Codes serve as embedded links in editorial and advertising pages. This solution allows an interested reader to get more information, or even immediately go online and order something, in a very appealing linkage between print and online worlds, potentially tapping the best of both.

Now back to that “everything’s connected” idea. Because this was all starting to sound very familiar, even before reading the Times piece, my mind drifted back a couple of weeks to those year-end tweets linked to lists of “best and worst technology of the decade,” and right up there at the top of those worst lists, was the :cuecat! (see photo). In her short article, Clifford masterfully uses attention to the past to try to predict the future as she explores the history of QR Codes and looks at what might be different this time around. The value proposition seems to be exactly the same—see a magazine ad, scan in a link, and pull up a Web page—but as Clifford points out, there are a couple of key differences, the biggest one being that the cat-shaped scanner of the 10-year-old solution was extra, something that had to be provided to magazine readers and PC owners to make the system work. Now the mobile phone provides that missing link, at least that is what hopeful entrepreneurs and technologists are hoping.

Now after this explanation, the question remains whether this technology is good for printing. Assuming the system works, the advertising linkage application is good for print publications as a method to keep the medium relevant and inter-linked with online information. And in this day and age, anything positive for newspapers and magazines is a plus. The benefits for local printers are not as clear, as taking a “scan” (photo) from a screen seems to be equally effective as taking that scan from a printed source. Putting the functions of paper into the world of the virtual—with the transfer of some of paper’s functionality to mobile phones—is certainly occurring in applications like tickets and boarding passes.

To get to know QR Codes better, I suggest getting your hands dirty, and based on the recommendation of @Gail_NK, I have had excellent luck with Optiscan, a $2 app for my trusty (and oft-mentioned) iPhone. I suggest springing for the $2, trying a quick download and starting with the QR codes here (represented on-screen or printed). I think you will be impressed.
