other instruction is this method
you need to go to maintenance mode first
press menu/set after that the mono start key and then press the up arrow button 4 times..
i try this all method and it's work 100 percent...
take note:when you resetting the brother you should replace the waste ink pad of the printer..because if you only reset it without making a waste tank outside the printer it will cause flooding of waste inks inside your printer.. And that can cause to damage your printer..

- Printers with a built-in Fax: Hold down MENU/SET/START and quickly press * 2 8 6 4.
- Printers WITHOUT a Fax: Hold down Menu/Set and the Black Start key before pressing the UP arrow four times Now your printer should say MAINTENANCE on the screen and you are ready to begin the process of actually resetting the purge counter.
- Type in 80 using the numerical keypad.
- Use the DOWN key to locate the purge counter. eg. PURGE0060025
- Use the number pad to enter 2783 (this should zero the numbers after PURGE).
- Press STOP/EXIT to return to the first stage of maintenance mode.
- Press 9 and 9 to exit maintenance mode.
Your purge counter is now reset and you can now resume printing as normal. If however this has not cleared the error message I advise going through this guide again following the instructions to the letter. If the error persists please let us know.
