90 days :oThat's poor!

You need to clear & reset the purge counter, to do that follow these steps extremely carefully;

1) Enter machine maintenance mode (on MFC210C all four photo/copy/fax/scan lights flash in maintenance mode). Care is needed in maintenance mode, otherwise critical settings may be inadvertently corrupted.

FAX models with numerical keypads: Press the Menu/Set, *, 2, 8, 6 and 4 keys within two seconds. (if you fail to complete the correct key sequence within two seconds, press the Stop key to try again).

Other (non-FAX) models: Press the Menu/Set and Black Start keys. Next press the “up arrow” key four times to enter the maintenance mode).

2) Press the 8 then 0 keys in the initial stage of the maintenance mode to call up the machine's log information list (function code 80).

3) Press the Black Start key several times to scroll through the log information list to reach the purge counter. The purge counter is the 25th item in the list.

4) Press the 2, 7, 8, and 3 keys in this order to reset the purge count to zero.

5) Press the Stop/Exit key to return to the initial stage of the maintenance mode.

6) Press the 9 key twice to return to the standby state.

use a HP Deskjet F4210. I had it for about 6 months and I'm satisfied. It prints really well, and fast.

also has a SCANNER. I can scan my writing and it shows it in word.

I`m a ex hw seller. I was selling these Brother printers but as few as possible. If you have the chance, change it for a Canon or HP. I have a 5 years Canon IP1000. Still works like a charm and even prints photos. The best part is that the ink is extremely cheep ;)
