That noise is the heads being cleaned, which needs to happen on all inkjet printers. It may be that your one was simply broken. I bet if you call Brother and ask for some advice they will help you.

    I would. But a little research shows this is a very common problem with this model.

    Even if I get it replaced it will eventually happen again.

    Poor design.

    After all of these years these people still can’t get it right. Fool me once.

    Edit: it’s clear to me now that its “self cleaning” feature is responsible for why the heads get forced out of position. Wtf.
