Clean the Print Head Using Web Based Management

If this option is not available, update your machine's firmware. Go to your model's Downloads page at support.brother.com.
  1. Start your web browser.
  2. Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's IP address).

    For example:
