First, you can reset the purge counter to zero.
Instructions are available.
OK With the purge rest Brother will allow clean cycles but what if the absorber becomes full?
Where will the ink go?
I thought of a BBQ grill fat catching can beneath the grill.
If the absorber overflow went into a container below, the ink would be contained.
The container could be emptied from time to time.
Thinking out loud.
Hey guys, I just found this trick:
Hi Sailor, thanks again for the help you gave me concerning my Brother MFC240C printer. I took the bull by the horns and attempted entry into the printer. After destroying many plastic clips I gave up and decided on a more direct approach. I reasoned where the ink absorber box may be, took a Dremel high speed tool and cut a 3 x 3 inch hole through the top of the case. Bingo! It worked.
The absorber was just below the hole. I replaced the saturated padding with heavily embossed paper toweling, sealed the opening with clear tape so I could monitor what was going on. My printer now works like new!!!!
