Brother MFC 5890CN Printer Review & Troubleshooting:

The Brother’s MFC-5890CN printer measures approximately 9.5 x 19.1 x 16.1 inches and is merely 23.6 pounds in weight. It is not as compact as many MFPs, but its feature set can justify the bulk. The Brother MFC-5890CN has an Automatic Document Feeder that can handle up to 50 pages at a time and four (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) Brother MFC 5890CN Ink Cartridges. A flatbed scanner, as well as several media card slots for digital camera memory sticks, are included in it. For printing directly from thumb drives and other compatible devices, A USB port and a PictBridge slot is also available.

Print quality is cheap for text and colour graphics are reasonably well. Registration of black text over colour is good. The Brother MFC-5890CN prints at a rate of 35 ppm for black and white and up to 28 ppm for the coloured ink, although these numbers decrease when the print quality is increased. The scanner head’s surprisingly high optical resolution of 1,200 x 2,400ppi means detail levels are good whereas the print resolution is up to 6000dpi. The Brother MFC 5890CN Ink Cartridges are cost-effective, providing page yield of 300 pages for black ink and 260 pages for each coloured ink.

  • Low cost per page

Why does the machine's screen show "NO CARTRIDGE" message even though all the Brother MFC 5890CN Ink Cartridges are installed?

Check that the ink cartridges are installed properly or to reinstall the ink cartridge follow the instructions listed below:

  • Open the ink cartridge cover door.
  • Pull all the 4 colored levers down to release all four ink cartridges from the machine.
  • Each color has its own right place to match the color of the cartridges with the color of the levers. Insert all of Brother MFC 5890CN Ink Cartridges in the direction of the arrow on the label until it clicks into place.
  • Close the ink cartridge cover.
  • If you replaced an ink cartridge, the LCD screen may ask you to verify that it was a brand new one.For example, Did You Change Yellow?
    • For each new cartridge installed, select Yes.
    • If the ink cartridge you installed is not a new one, remember to select No.

If you combine the colours by installing the cartridges within the wrong position, clean the print head multiple times after correcting the cartridge installation.

Once you open a new Brother MFC 5890CN Ink Cartridges, install it within the machine and use it up within six months of installation.

The LCD screen displays the “COMM.ERROR” message. What does this message mean & how to resolve it?

This implies that the Brother machine encountered a communication error while sending or receiving a FAX. This may be caused by either obstruction on the line, connection or any other device on the line.

Try resending the reports or documents and check if the message no longer appears. If the message still appears there might be the issue in the manner the Brother machine is connected to the line. Disengage the other hardware on the phone line, for example modem, adapters, answering machine, extra telephone etc. Ensure that the telephone line is connected directly from the jack (socket) on the Brother machine to the telephone wall jack (socket).

Resend the documents again. If the transmission is successful the issue was made by the association of the Brother machine and different gadgets on the same line. Reconnect different bits of hardware each in turn to see which is causing the issue & remove that gadget.
