Brother Printer Machine Error 46 Unable to Clean

When a printer performs a head clean the ink is deposited in a waste ink tank.  When the printer estimates that this ink tank is full an error message may occur... Machine Error 46 Unable to Clean.

In many cases this estimate is exaggerated and there is still remaining space for more waste ink in the tank.  The printer can be brought back to life by performing a manual reset. 
1. Turn the machine on.
2. Press the Set / OK button,
3.  Press the Menu button.
4.  Press the Mono Start button.
5.  Press the up arrow key four times. 
You need to press the above buttons in quick succession.  If you have done this correctly the word ‘maintenance’ should appear on the display.
6. Using the Up/Down arrow keys select the number 8 and then press Set/OK.  
7.  Using the Up/Down arrow keys select the number 0 and then press Set/OK. 
8.  Either press the Mono Start button repeatedly or use the Up/Down arrow to get into the Purge option.  
9.  When PURGE is displayed on the screen, use the up/down arrows and the set/ok key to enter the numbers 2, 7, 8, 3 on the screen.
10.   The number displayed after PURGE should now read 0.  Press the Stop/Exit key to go back to the main maintenance mode menu. 
11.  Using the up/down and SET/OK keys enter 9 and then 9 again to exit maintenance mode.

These instructions should work with the following printer models...  Brother DCP-110C, DCP-115C, DCP-117C, DCP-120C, DCP-310CN, DCP-315CN, DCP-340CW, DCP-585CW, DCP-130C, DCP-135C, DCP-145C, DCP-150C, DCP-153C. DCP-157C, DCP-163C, DCP-165C, DCP-167C, DCP-195C, DCP-197C, DCP-330C, DCP-340CN, DCP-350C, DCP-365, DCP-365CN, DCP-375CW, DCP-377CW, DCP-385C, DCP-395C, DCP-540CN, DCP-560CN, DCP-6690CW, DCP-750CN, DCP-750CW, DCP-770CW, DCP-J125, DCP-J140W, DCP-J315W, DCP-J515W and DCP-J715W.
