The is a lot of help and videos in the bottom link, but this post appears to fix the issue according to Brother, and the link below that from iFixit gives an alternative solution but way more complicated..
Hi. my machine model MFC 495 CW. I did any step but my machine till show up unable to Init. 4 F. please can you help me about that. thanks you very much
That error is very general, usually just a piece of paper caught either on the extreme right or left hand sides driven there by the carriage assembly after a jam. You need a flashlight to see and also pull the carriage out of the right side, carefully, to look where the printhead parks when shut down.
If there is no jam it is generally a mechanical issue such as...
1. The planetary arm assembly not engaged correctly 2. Ink cartridge/purge switch harness not connected correctly 3. Purge cam switch broken 4. Gear(s) on maintenance unit broken 5. Paper feed motor broken 6. Main PCB defective
I find that if there was a paper jam, and the user pulled the paper out, option 4 is most likely. It is the smallest of cracks but ruins everything! You will need to contact your local ASC for repair, find it here. Thank you for using FixYa! – Don’t forget to rate our service.
No need for part necessarily
SkipperOz solution pasted below
MFC-5440CN saved from the tip! "Unable to Clean" message - found TrickyDicky's sltn 4 for various printers. Went into maint mode as per sltn 4 - verified error 46. "The user can establish the internal Machine Error Code as follows: pull the mains cable out of the machine (power off), hold down the Menu/Set key, re-insert the mains cable into the machine (power on). The internal Machine Error Code will be displayed."
Keyed in 80 - stepped through the items with "down" key and located Purge Counter. "Press the 2, 7, 8, and 3 keys in this order to reset the purge count to zero Press the Stop/Exit key to return to the initial stage of the maintenance mode. Press the 9 key twice to return to the standby state."
This worked brilliantly - no need to tamper with any parts of the printer. Purge Counter reset did it all. Fully functional printer.
Thanks TrickyDicky for info on verifying the error code and purge reset
