4 Quick-fixes to solve the problem of a blank page between every printed page in Brother Printer?
We print a lot of documents every day, but sometimes we come across a peculiar but common problem. The brother printer is ejecting a blank page between every printed page. We can fix it using a few home-made remedies. Some of them are-
- Making sure the cartridges are clean.
- Performing a self-cleaning process.
- Turning off the advanced printing features.
- Uncheck print header/footer option
Solution 1 – Making sure the cartridges are clean.
If you’re using an ink-jet Brother printer, the problem might be in your cartridges. The cartridges can get clogged sometimes, and may lead to this problem. It’s advised to clean them using a soft cloth. After cleaning the cartridges, check if the problem persists.
Solution 2 – Perform a self-cleaning process
If your brother printer ejects a blank page between every printed page, perhaps you can fix it by performing a self-cleaning process. This is fairly simple to do, and in order to do it, just go to the Brother printer’s control panel, press and hold the Go button for about 3 seconds until all lights are “on”. Release the Go button, once the lights are “on”. When the process is finished, check if the problem persists. Also, check the Brother printer’s instruction manual to see the detailed procedure.
Solution 3 – Turn off the advanced printing features
Sometimes when the brother printer runs a blank page between every printed page, the problem might be in the printer properties. The advanced printing features can apparently interfere with the printer and cause the problem, but it can be disabled by doing the following:
- Open Devices from the control panel.
- Locate the brother printer, right-click it and choose Printer Preferences.
- Disable all features by going to the ‘Advanced’ tab.
- Save the changes you made and see if the problem persists.
Solution 4 – Uncheck print header/footer option
Sometimes this issue shows up while printing documents from Google Chrome. If your printer runs a blank page between every printed page, it’s possible that Print header/footer feature is the reason.
To fix it, disable this option while printing from Chrome. If the problem persists, it’s possible that the problem is caused by your extensions. To fix the issue, you need to disable all extensions and see if that solves it. To do that, follow these steps:
- Go to the Menu button in the top right corner and choose More tools > Extensions.
- Disable all the extensions on the list by clicking the disable button next to each extension.
- After disabling the extensions, restart Chrome and check if the problem persists.
This should solve the problem but if it’s still here, you might want to reset Google Chrome to default and check if that solves the problem.
There are other ways due to which this problem might occur. Sometimes the issue is most likely related to your drivers, ensure to reinstall or update them keep it up-to-date. So when your brother printer runs a blank page between every printed page, try these home-made remedies.
