Excuse me, for brother MFC-9330CDW, italian language code, what is it?
Thanks
28.04.2018 at 01:34
Hello there. I need to change a MFC-L6702DW (in Brazilian Portuguese) to english. I tried the country code 0001, guessing that i should be english. It indeed worked, but the wireless function is absent now. I’m wondering if i could try codes from other english-spoken countries, like Canada, Australia or UK. Do you have these codes available, for my model?
11.09.2018 at 02:32
Thaaaaaanks!!!! it works perfectly on my L2700DW

I have the model MFC-L2710DW. I can access to the maintenance menu by pressing *2864, but I access then to the firmware version by pressing 74 (which is 0a03). If I change to another language (like italian 0016), I modify the whole firmware version to another printer. I thus loose the fax option beyond some button functionality. Is there a different procedure for the MFC-l2710dw?
12.02.2019 at 14:56
oili, do you have Touchscreen version or non-touchscreen version?
If you have non-touchscreen version I would like to know how do you type letters (like that A in code 0A03).
I typed in 0001 and I got the english version, but my model nuber went from MFC-L2710DW to DCP-L2530DW and I can’t get the 2710DW back. I have Italian version. They said that for English language I have to type in the code 0A04.
21.03.2022 at 13:29
The list of codes for MFC-L2710DW:
Argentina 0A36
Australia 0A06

26.09.2019 at 23:47

How to type letters on the numeric keypad of a Brother MFC-L2710DW in Maintenance mode:
First press the #-key and then “0” (zero) –> this gives you an “A”
#-key followed by “1” –> “B”
#-key followed by 2 –> “C”
and so forth.

Hi, i have a brother 2750DW. You know the codes for this printer ? Thx a lot :)
23.09.2019 at 11:31
@up In my model [DCP-L2750DW] You just need to find “>” sign on the virtual keyboard in MAINTANENCE mode. The screen will to change to another one with alphabetic letters instead of numbers.
To get beck to numbers just find and hit ” Polish after reboot] and model of the printer has changed to 2352DN :(
30.01.2020 at 16:45
I have the same problem but my l2750dw as 2395dw. Someone have some solution?

05.02.2020 at 11:36
MFC-L2710DW, Slovakia 0086 works perfectly, I had a printer from Germany with Country Code 0A03
27.03.2020 at 20:15
Have a mfc-j491dw how to Change language?
18.05.2020 at 15:46
For MFC-2750DW you should put 0457 and will work in English and Fax with ADF Double sided enabled
18.05.2020 at 15:48
For MFC-L2750DW you can use 0457 for english and FAX – AFD Double side works fine.
29.05.2020 at 13:07
anyone have code to make 2750DW to english and work.. as other codes made some functions unusable
11.09.2020 at 11:57
What is the Spanish language code for a Brother MFC-L3750CDW? Currently the Maintenance mode shows code 0753 and I only choose Germany or Austria countries.
16.12.2020 at 18:29
Anyone have code for 2710dw in italian language?
16.12.2020 at 18:32
Anyone have code for italian language on 2710dw and 2710dn?
15.11.2021 at 18:55
I just got Brother MFC-L3750CDW and I was desperate because it only allowed Ostrich and German languages. I found this page, but I couldn’t get any other codes to work. So I did trial/error my self.
Found that 0758 changes to area that allows “other” language option, which is English =)
06.03.2023 at 14:34
MFC-L2730DW English language please !
i tried 0001 and it changed to english, but when i connect it to my network it’s read as HL-L2395 DW not MFC-L2730DW !!
