The Brother MFC-420CN performs the functions of a printer, copier, scanner and fax. Brother also designed the printer to perform automatic diagnostics when you experience problems. As an end user, you can usually decipher most of the error messages that appear on the screen LCD of the printer as “Ink Empty” (Ink Empty) or “No Cartridge” (No cartridge), and then figure out how to solve the inconvenience. However, some printer errors only show two-digit alphanumeric codes, which makes it impossible to diagnose, let alone fix the problem. If you’ve found with these cryptic error messages, you should know that solving these problems is still a relatively simple task – Copier Repair Pros.
